Am I Ready? The most common question a business owner can ask themselves? Every day we’re making decisions that can effect not just us but our staff, their families and of course our own family. It can be exhausting and super stressful for most people. So at what point do you ask yourself
“Am I ready for help?”
The short answer is YES. If you’re already asking the question, if you’re already having sleepless nights, working long hours and missing out on time with your loved ones, then YES you’re ready.
But, let me guess, your still not sure? it’s OK as business owners we always seem to put ourselves last, we always seem to think “we can do it all” but let me take you through a few strong points on why you’re ready.
How established is your business?
Beginner: If you’re in early stages of your business eg The Idea and that’s all you’ve got, then that’s OK. You need someone that can help you go to the next steps, a person that will “map out” the steps you need to take to get your idea to full fruition. You would need a different type of VA who specialises in launching businesses the right way.
Advanced: If you’re already making money in your business, your idea has come to life and now you want to knuckle down and “grow” then YES you’re ready for a Virtual Assistant. You need someone to take the mundane tasks from invoicing, emails, website updates, social media takeover, answering client calls and all the tasks that take up most of your time, the tasks that you’re not to be honest very good at or you would rather spend time working in other areas of your business that you excel in.
Superior: This would be the type of person that has staff members, a super busy schedule with one or two businesses or perhaps someone who is serviced based that needs help with emails, marketing, phone calls and the time wasting tasks you think you’re good at but lets face it your not #truthbomb
Does any of the above hit home to you? makes you think of the things that lets face it, you’re not the best at and that’s OK as a business owner you will never be amazing at everything you do, but what you can do is realise what those tasks are and start writing a list of tasks that you dread doing every day, I have created a list below to get you started.
A list of tasks that most business owners hate doing, if you can pick at least 3 from this list, give me a call and book in a free consult with us today.
Social Media: This could be posting on Social Media, creating images, creating captions, scheduling, Instagram stories, interacting with potential clients etc
Marketing: Website updates, website builds, website refresh, email marketing, market research etc
Admin Tasks: Email management, answering calls from clients, payroll, bookkeeping, quotes and invoicing.
Do any of these tasks make you as a business owner, want to run for the hills or make you feel like giving up? Stop doing this to yourself and give us a call today, we’re here to help you. Take a look at our services here.
