Triple my income? You may be wondering how that would even be possible right now? You are already capacitated, burnt-out and don’t even know what a “work-life balance” even looks like at the moment. Just like other small business owners, you are probably just trying to get by every day, take care of business, take care of administration, growing your business and putting out fires. So, the big question … if this is how your day-to-day looks, how on earth can you actually triple your income? Read on to find out how.
First things first …doing everything on your own has so many negative downfalls
I totally get it honestly, when you have your own business, you do seem to fall into the trap of wanting to do everything on your own – because you know how you like things done and truthfully don’t know if you can trust anyone else to take over tasks for you. The problem with this is that you are most certainly going to burn out at some point (if this has not happened already). Also, the truth is, unfortunately, no matter how talented or skilled you may be, to manage every aspect on your own from administration, invoicing, strategy, client relationship management, calendar management, travel arrangements – honestly the list could go on. It’s virtually impossible to stay on top of it and still do a good job. Therefore, outsourcing would be the most important thing you could possibly do for yourself and your business.
Who do you outsource to?
This is the key to your success in all honesty. If you are going to outsource, you need to ensure that you outsource to the right person for the job. The wrong person could cost you time and money that you just don’t have the time to deal with. If you are a business owner, you most likely need to hire a Virtual Assistant for your business. Here’s why, you need the flexibility to hire someone that would take care of all your administrative, secretarial and back-end operations, while you are able to focus on critical business matters, such as growth, strategy and client relations.
What can you outsource?
When outsourcing to a Virtual Assistant, it depends on the background of the Virtual Assistant you are looking to hire. Most generalist Virtual Assistants offer secretarial and administrative functions (which is exactly what you need). When you are stuck performing these tasks, your time is been stolen and pulling your focus away from other critical business matters. Here are just some of the tasks you can delegate to a Virtual Assistant:
- Calendar Management
- Travel Management
- Agendas & Minutes
- Transcription
- To-do list Management
- Online Shopping
- General Admin
- Data Capturing
- Client Liaison
- Systems Management
- Office Operations & Procedures
- Business Correspondence Templates
- Invoicing
- Google Research
- Online Filing & Systems
- Email Management
- Bookkeeping (basic)
- Payroll
- Social Media Management
- Market Research
- Updating Websites
- Newsletters
- Marketing Material
- CRM
