Five Reasons Why You Need to Hire A VA For Your Business

Five Reasons Why You Need to Hire A VA For Your Business

 

You’ve finally done it. Your business is humming along, growing even, but you find yourself being stretched thinner and thinner every day as you try and stay on top of the growing list of tasks necessary to keep your business running smoothly.
 
Maybe you’re trying to be a hero, thinking you can do it all yourself, or worried about spending the money to hire help.
Instead, what if you considered freeing up 5 to 10 hours a week with a Virtual Assistant as an investment in your business?

No, unfortunately, we’re not talking the Jarvis from Avengers type of virtual assistant (but wouldn’t that be awesome)? We’re talking about a human who remotely helps you with the things that you, as a business founder and entrepreneur, have graduated from having to deal with.

Imagine what you could do with 5 to 10 hours a week available for you to do something else with? Would it allow you to focus more on growing your business instead of in the day to day details that keep you running in circles? Or would it allow you to spend more time with your family, or yourself?
 

The big question is how much do you value your time? What gains could you make with your business hiring a VA to do those things that are sucking the life out of you?

Here are some tell-tale signs that your business has grown enough that you really need someone to step in and help out.
 

1. You are Sweating The Small Stuff

There are very few people who enjoy spending their weekends doing paperwork and listening to the Spice Girls. (Looking at you, Leslie Knope.) And let’s be honest, that’s not the part of running a business that you dreamed of, is it?
 
If you’re doing more expense reports and invoices than you are focusing on how to move your business forward, you need someone to make that pesky paperwork go poof.
 
Leave the small stuff to someone who can spend the time doing it right while you strategize branding, create content, and develop new ideas.
 

2. Putting Out To Many Fires

You find yourself missing deadlines, losing important emails (“WHY did I empty my trash??”) and screwing up your appointments because you can’t be everywhere at once.
 

And the overwhelm of putting out these fires you yourself created keeps stressing you out more, leading to more mistakes, and on and on.

You can break this cycle by hiring a VA to catch these things before they lose you money/clients and to problem-solve issues that do come up.

3. You're a big picture person, not a detail-oriented one.

Running a business requires vision, something not everyone has. But it also requires flawless execution, which is not something everyone has either.
 
The person who can inhabit both of these worlds is few and far between. And even THEY need help to get things done right. Own the traits that make you successful as an entrepreneur, and own your weaknesses too. The sooner you do, the sooner you can get a VA who thrives on the nitty gritty stuff.
 

4. You need expertise in specific areas

This ties in with the previous point. We all have our strengths, but businesses require expertise in many different fields, from legal to marketing to operations.
 
Part of your job as an entrepreneur is identifying the people with expertise in the fields you’re lacking in and bring them onboard.
 
No more frantic last-minute tax prep, no more Googling Google Ads, and no more jerry-rigged standing desks because you keep meaning to get to Home Depot.
 

5. You’re overwhelmed with all your Daily TO DO's

Yes, keeping up with your marketing, and researching your competition, keeping up with training, industry trends, and best practices is important.
 
But it’s also delegable. (Yes, that is a word, and no, I didn’t know how to spell it either until just now.) A good VA can compile data on all of these topics and more, synthesize it, and report back to you.
 
Is it a replacement for your own research on these issues? No. But it will certainly relieve you of much of the stress associated with retrieving, organizing, and digesting all of said information while doing all of your other tasks.
 
By now it should be clear when and why you need to hire a VA. Once you do, your business won’t be the same again, and that’s a good thing.
 
Now think again about what your life would be like if you had just 5 - 10 hours freed up in your week?
 
You have a VA doing your followup, research, email campaigns, your social, keeping track of your leads.
 
Isn’t your time worth spending a few extra dollars on your business so you can focus on what will make your business grow?
