With the current climate of the world right now EVERYONE is trying to save money. We are tightening up around the home, our weekly food bill and only putting what we need into our cars because fuel is so damn expensive.
As we tighten all our personal expenses, we turn our attention to our business expenses. So it’s only natural to ask ourselves, “is paying for someone to help us out right now a waste of money?”
I would say NO, and here’s why.
A VA also known as a Virtual Assistant can help you grow your business, share the workload and the biggest benefit and money saving option within your business is to enjoy employee benefits without paying for employee costs ie PAYG and Super, not to mention the paperwork!
We are in business to grow and make more money, right? Having a VA can support you in doing this. Having a VA allows you to step away from those mundane tasks that suck all your energy, which in turn prevent you from focusing on growth. Having a VA, free’s you up to work on the high level activities that will support your business growth.
Delegation: It can be hard to let go of control but if we want to grow in business, we need to let others help us. Having a VA on board helps you delegate tasks such as Administration work, marketing, social media management, customer service, content writing or website refreshes.
Giving these tasks to a VA will not only free up your time and energy, but will also allow you to focus on the bigger picture. And another bonus of delegating these types of tasks to a VA, will allow you to be more consistent in these areas of business. We have all heard we need to show up on social media, but it’s so time consuming and you never know what to write. Delegating social media to a VA takes away all this stress.
The final point for having a VA, is that you receive all the employee benefits without paying the employee costs. There’s no superannuation, payroll, sick days or extra equipment needed that you need to worry about. Let a VA support you in your business venture.
In conclusion, is a VA a waste of money? Well that answer is up to you, but I would say, if you want to grow your business with less stress, worry and employee expenses, and have more time, energy, space to grow and focus on the bigger picture, having a VA is a very cost effective solution.
If you’re ready to see what a VA can support you with, we have very affordable options for you.
