If you’re a small business owner then you know what it means to play many roles in order to keep the ball rolling. Which means you also know how taxing it can be. You probably didn’t start your business to do administrative work or to come up with clever Instagram posts—you started it because you’re passionate about your work. And, as always, we’re here to help you get back to doing more of what you love and less of what you don’t.
Luckily, relinquishing those tasks is just one of the many benefits that come from hiring a virtual assistant–something we happen to know a good bit about.
So if you’ve ever wondered how a VA could benefit your business, then this post (and several others!) is for you. Here are just some of the many benefits of hiring a virtual assistant:
Do more of what you love. If you were to list out all the tasks you encounter throughout your day – everything from sales calls to bookkeeping to forecasting for the future – how many of those tasks deplete your energy and how many fuel your energy. That tasks you love, likely the tasks that revolve around why you started your business – those tasks fuel you. It’s likely the tedious, time-consuming, behind-the-scenes tasks that deplete you. Those are the tasks to hand off to an assistant. And the ones you love – the tasks the fuel your creativitiy and passion – make time to do more of those.
Gain peace of mind. More eyes on your business means less possibility for errors or for anything to fall through the cracks. Rest assured that emails will be answered or brought to your attention and work will get done even when you’re not on the clock.
Improve turnaround time. With all the things you have on your plate, can you say with complete certainty that you are working at your to efficiency? We bet the answer is no. And that is ok! But that is a sign that you need to bring in some help. A project that takes you four hours to complete – because you are being pulled in 35 different directions – would take a virtual assistant one hour to complete because they can give their undivided attention to it.
Rest and recharge. Running a small business can take over your entire life and leave you no time to rest and recharge–something so necessary for doing your best work. You deserve to have downtime to recover so that you can come back to work your most refreshed and creative self. The only way to give yourself that free time is to delegate the tasks on your plate.
Save money. Task-based help is great for anyone who is looking for assistance without wanting to hire a full-time employee. Only pay for the time and tasks you need. And if you’re not sure what you’re looking for, check out our pricing here!
