“How long is your To-Do List?”
A compelling question, not because it’s hard to answer, but because once you give an answer, you’re forced to stop and think about why the list is so long.
Running a business has never been both easier and harder. It’s easier because of technology and quick communication, but it’s also more difficult because of these. You are now busier than ever, what with all the dates and deadlines, the meetings and meetups and everything that eats away at your limited time. There must be a better way! And there is.
Enter your very own virtual assistant.
The Secret to Success: Delegation
No matter what field you work in, you will probably have met a Boss with an entire team to help with task management, time management, people management and well, business management. It’s not because the boss doesn’t know what they’re doing, it’s because they know that they don’t need to be doing every little thing. They can assign these other tasks so they can focus on the bigger picture. This is what we call delegation.
In an article published by Forbes, a specific passage brings to mind the successful lives of business magnates, international associates and pretty much the rich and famous: “Delegation is the secret weapon of successful CEOs.” And Forbes is not alone with this thought process. To successfully manage any business, one person is not enough. There will always be a need to bring people in who can do the tasks needed to not just keep your company afloat, but more importantly, thriving.
This is where your virtual assistant, or VA, comes in. They are there to manage the minutiae and the multiple tasks that can eat away up to half of your workday, so you can focus on innovation and new ideas. They can do it all: everything from setting appointments and making calls, up to making sure your website is up and running and your Instagram Stories always updated. When you understand the value of your time and what benefits this time will bring to your company, you will not just want to delegate, you will know you (and your business) can’t flourish without it.
How Virtual Assistants Give You Your Time Back
What we spend our time doing is essentially how we live our lives. Philosophers, thinkers, the greatest minds that humanity has ever produced—if they all had only one thing in common, it’s that they knew the value of their time. And they did not waste their time away doing the mundane tasks of daily life; they spent it on greatness.
While the definition of greatness may differ for each person, no one will argue that having enough time to do both the things you must do and the things you love to do is certainly great.
Managing and growing your company while also having enough time for the things and people that matter is also great. Oh, if only you had more time! Well, now, you do.
Your VA is there so you can have the freedom to both pursue your career and personal goals. Maybe you need a few months to work on a project for your company’s future endeavors; maybe, you need an afternoon to take a stroll with your family; maybe, you just need a few more minutes in your cozy bed. Whatever you choose to do with your time, you’ll be spending it doing the things you love, and all because you got that little bit of time back.
Of course, a too-relaxed environment may not be conducive to your company’s needs, so while you take a break, you can still rest assured that there will be no time slip-ups or “I forgot’s.” After all, virtual assistants are professionals in their field and know how making your business tick. Even within the VA world, there are specialties to accommodate your needs. These people know what needs to be done and how to get them done, all so you can focus on what’s important to you.
What Do Virtual Assistants Do?
Virtual assistants work on several tasks. Depending on the type of assistant you need, they can provide multiple services. They can not only deal with the more mundane tasks which take minutes to do, e.g., answering calls or setting appointments, but also more skill-intensive projects which require multiple hours or even days to complete—time that you will no longer need to carve out on your own because you now have someone who can do it for you.
