What are your main responsibilities within your current role?
My current role is owning an Airbnb management company. Essentially, I need to ensure the team is completing all their tasks.
I'm at the top, managing managers who oversee virtual assistants and cleaners. My company provides full-service offerings, including accounting, cleaning, in-house maintenance, and pricing for our clients' Airbnbs.
My specific responsibilities are pricing and hiring new staff. In the past three months, I've had to let go of three managers, a maintenance worker, and a virtual assistant.
Starting a new company involves both successes and challenges, including personnel issues. However, I am very happy with my team. Going through these difficulties is part of building a new business and is necessary to achieve positive outcomes. That's essentially what I do now.
