So now you’ve got your head round what a VA can do, the natural question to ask is “is this what I need”? Let’s see if any of the following statements ring true for you and your business…
I’m feeling overstretched
Many business owners started out because they wanted to be in control – they wanted to do everything. To be successful you need verve, stamina, ideas – you’re brimming over with enthusiasm from the outset! But inevitably, with success, there comes a point where work and home life are blurring into one. Which leads us to….
I’ve dropped the baton a few times
We’ve all done it – when workloads escalate, its harder to give your clients that stellar, comprehensive service that you started out with. Maybe your response rates have slipped, or your financial records are getting unruly. What if there was a way to get back some of those high standards you set yourself at the start?
I’m frustrated with my productivity
When the to-do list racks up, flitting between tasks is unfulfilling and ineffective. How often do you have a day where you feel like nothing has really been achieved? So my next question is: how would it feel to take a few of those tasks each week, hand them to me, and get them back fully completed when you need them?
I know there is a better way of doing X but I haven’t the time to think it through
When you’re feeling time-poor you just need to get the work done so the old ways often have to suffice. However, there is an ever-expanding wealth of new tools and technology out there. One of the things I like to do is find better ways for clients to organise themselves and automate some of their tasks. Or indeed get great insights into how they are marketing themselves and what is bringing in new clients.
I’m ready to take my business to the next level
This is a fantastic stage to have reached for any business owner! But if you are going to devote your time to the value-added work that is going to drive the growth of your business, you really need to identify what can be delegated. Ask yourself, what are the things I
hate doing
don’t NEED to do myself
want to do but don’t have time
aren’t worth my hourly rate!
My job is to enable you to turn that list into a positive one. To get you back to doing the things you love, the things that put your expertise to its best use, the things that made you start out on your own in the first place.
So if you have mentally ticked any of the statements above, do get in touch – I’d really love to help.
