Although there are literally hundreds, maybe even thousands of articles on the subject, here is my take on why you should hire a virtual assistant...
Starting a business or organization is not an easy task: it takes a certain mindset, passion, discipline and focus to take your ideas or your mission and turn them into a tangible entity. There is a huge time commitment involved and you want to spend all your energy doing what you love, not dealing with the administrative grind of running an organization.
If you could name three things you love about running your business or organization, what would they be? Now think of all the things you hate…those things can be delegated to a virtual assistant!
A virtual assistant reduces administrative costs and increases efficiency because they are independent contractors so they don’t require the same pay benefits as a full time employee. A virtual assistant works off site so there is no office space or equipment to buy, rent or maintain. A virtual assistant is only hired for the job or projects that are needed; no money is wasted on down time. And a virtual assistant gives you access to expertise that you don’t have or the time, money or desire to learn.
Bottom line: a virtual assistant frees up valuable time and money so you can put the focus back on what you love!
