How Working with a Virtual Assistant can Help You Grow Your Business.
As business owners, we've all been there.
You are working another long day, fuelled by too much caffeine and wondering if you'll ever gain that precious time for yourself.
You might want to dedicate more time to your family, get back into the gym or focus on building a life where work/life balance becomes a reality.
You can be grateful for everything you have achieved and still want to enjoy more downtime. But now you're probably thinking, where do you start?
Why You Need a Virtual Assistant in Your Life.
Hiring a Virtual Assistant (VA) is the best way to move forward. They can help you grow your business and create a more balanced, stress-free life. Just imagine what that would look like for you.
The most valuable asset you have as a business owner is your time and when you begin to feel stressed watching your to-do list pile up - it's a sign you need to get in touch with a virtual assistant.
VAs are typically cheaper and more effective, saving you as much as 78% in operating costs as opposed to an in-house employee. VAs will help with tasks in all different aspects of your business. They can tackle your inbox, improve workflow, schedule your day with ease, and so much more.
Achieve more work/life balance, prioritise your personal goals and execute business development with a VA. Sounds too good to be true? Keep reading to learn how it's possible.
1. Work/Life Balance Becomes a Reality *finally*
Work/life balance can often seem like a fantasy when you run your own business or manage a team. Sales calls run into lunchtime and admin tasks seem never-ending.
Workaholism was once idealised and people bragged about their 100-hour weeks. But now we see 63% of people saying they would choose work/life balance over better pay. And more people are realising the impact of outsourcing and streamlining their workflow.
It is time to recognise that your time is precious and balance is possible when you start to outsource. You can finally start having more time to take your kids to the park, go on dinner dates with your partner, or take trips away with friends.
2. Headspace For Scaling Your Business
Hiring a virtual assistant can help you gain back time to unwind and spend time with loved ones. However, this extra time is great for giving you the headspace to grow your business too.
Think about those marketing ideas, strategies and new ventures that would excel your business - but you haven't had the time. Imagine if your virtual assistant took on some of your workload. All that extra time could be focused on scaling and growing your business.
3. Become More Present in Your Life
No more missing out on family gatherings or birthday dinners. It is important to start prioritising personal events and focus on becoming more present. This can improve your attention span and productivity.
Also, changing your mindset in this way can improve your relationships and help you become a happier person. You can fully enjoy the present moment. Stop checking your phone every 5 minutes and avoid running back to your laptop after dinner to chase up that customer - your VA has it covered.
4. Focus on Your Personal Life Goals
Creating business goals and strategy may seem like second nature, but how often do you sit down and set a roadmap for yourself?
With your virtual assistant handling your checklist, you are free to use this extra time to work on self-development. Personal development will ultimately help you grow your business and creating personal goals can help you be more driven and energised. You can start improving your mindset and performance with time for reading, fitness or starting that hobby you have been wanting to try for ages.
