Not Sure What You Can Delegate?
Delegating some of your tedious and time-consuming tasks to a Virtual Assistant (VA) can help you focus on the heart of your business, relieve stress, and give you more time for customers and growth. It's not easy though, is it? The fear and anxiety delegation brings can be overwhelming. But, keep in mind, you have a business to run and a job to perform ... delegating can make your life so much easier! Let's address what you can delegate to a VA.
Create a list for each of the following bullet points:
- tasks you don't like to do, or put off frequently
- tasks that are just not getting started, much less finished
- tasks you can't do or shouldn't be taking the time to do
- ideas you've been wanting to implement, but haven't had the time
I’m betting you come up with a long list of tasks that you can delegate to a VA. Then ask yourself why you haven’t done so. Are you afraid the tasks won’t be completed effectively or efficiently? Are you concerned you won’t find the right VA? Whatever your reasons are, it’s time to address those fears head on!
Consider the following benefits start-ups and small or growing businesses can enjoy when hiring a VA:
- VAs work as 1099 contractors and you won't incur employee-related expenses such as health insurance, office equipment or space, or paid leave.
- VAs are experienced in working with the people they support to create budgets, processes, and can organize your day. They can analyze your frustrations and help develop a plan of attack.
- An experienced and professional VA can become an integral part of your team.
- Finding the right VA for you isn't so difficult if you work with the right Virtual Assistant Company!
Once you've addressed the above, do some research. Ask trusted friends, co-workers or colleagues for recommendations. Look for a Virtual Assistant company to assist you with finding the right VA or post a job opening on LinkedIn or a site such as Indeed.com. There are many ways to team up with the perfect VA for you and your business. Above all, get motivated, excited, and ditch that fear of delegation. Your business will thank you for it!
