 Is
Busywork Eating Up Your Time?
By Victoria Munro
Printable version
If you’re
spending more time on busywork than on growing your
business, it’s probably time to hire a VA
(Virtual Assistant). With today’s technology,
hiring an assistant doesn’t entail purchasing
a new computer, phone and office furniture, etc., or
sharing your space with someone else. You don’t
even need to live in the same city.
It makes economic sense and
frees you up to do what’s really important to
your business. Having a VA is fast becoming essential
for the busy entrepreneur. Virtual assistants are usually
trained to perform a variety of tasks, but if you need
help in a different area, your VA will likely have a
network of competent associates who can help. You might
even choose to hire multiple assistants with different
specialties.
Before you start searching online for your new assistant,
it’s a good idea to know how you really
spend your time (we have an online
tool to help), and understand what your high-payoff
activities are. Then make a list of the tasks you can
hand over.
Multiply your manpower by hiring a VA so that you
can focus on your business,
not your busywork!

how to hire the right VA for
your business.
