Think You’ve Only Got 5 Hours of Work to Delegate to a Virtual Assistant…Think Again!
In this episode, Barbara and Matt talk listeners through some honest truths when it comes to deciding just how many hours per week you ‘think’ you can delegate to a virtual assistant.
This episode takes a look at the essential factors to bear in mind when deciding to onboard a VA and how, if you are truly committed, you could easily find at least 20 hours of work for a virtual assistant to do in your business, every single week!
Some of the areas covered include:
The only way to really know what to delegate is understanding where you’re spending your time
The importance of changing your mindset to “Stop Doing” certain tasks, so you can focus on more of the things you love doing
How putting ‘positive stress’ on yourself can help your business grow faster
Bringing in specialists for ad-hoc tasks can also help reduce your workload, freeing up valuable time for more important, revenue-generating tasks
