You’ve been at this business thing for awhile now and you’re wondering if you should hire a virtual assistant.
Everything’s in your head. You are the only one who knows the ins and outs of all the details about your business.
You’ve trudged through figuring out how everything works while creating your product.
In addition, you spend so much time on the tasks that it takes to run your business that you rarely have time to do what you love the most – creating your product.
What once worked as a well-oiled machine is now stalling and stopping and you are feeling overwhelmed.
You may be asking yourself if now is the right time to start thinking about hiring a virtual assistant.
Is Now The Right Time To Hire A Virtual Assistant?
There are a few questions you can ask to begin to determine if the time is right to begin considering adding a virtual assistant to your business.
First, begin to write down all the tasks that you do each month just to keep your business running smoothly.
As you write them down, put them in two columns.
- Tasks only I can do.
- Tasks someone else could do (with a little bit of training).
| TASKS SOMEONE ELSE COULD DO | TASKS ONLY I CAN DO |
| respond to customer emails | reach out to potential customers |
| schedule social media | create product |
| create graphics | write new course content |
What’s Your Vision For Your Business?
Next, make a list of the things you’d like to do but haven’t had the time to pursue.
Be sure to dream! DREAM BIG!
| THINGS I WOULD LOVE TO DO |
| research and develop a new product |
| reach out to influencers and look for speaking opportunities |
