Did you set any new year’s resolutions for your business? How are they going so far? If one of your resolutions was to be better organised, less stressed or to spend more time doing the profitable jobs in your business – then you should start working with a Virtual Assistant.
- You spend more time working on your business than working in your business
- You no longer enjoy your work
- You’re at risk of losing clients
- Your profitability is suffering
- You aren’t sure if everyone’s been invoiced
- You rely on customers to send you a copy of the quote you provided
- You don’t know which invoices have been paid
- You’re being chased by the tax man because your record keeping sucks
- Your partner / kids / pets can’t remember what you look like
- Your website doesn’t exist, or hasn’t been updated in years
- You don’t respond to inquiries, and when you do they’ve usually gone elsewhere
- You haven’t got templates for your regularly used documents
- You’re consistently running out of stock or consumables, delaying client jobs
- It takes you ages to find contact details for your clients
- You can’t remember how to log into anything and if your phone or computer dies you’ll be unable to access information
- You just pay your bills as they come in and don’t actually know what you’re paying for or whether you’re getting value
- Your stress levels are through the roof and you can’t remember the last time you had a good nights sleep
Working with a Virtual Assistant will give you the opportunity to get rid of some of the things you don’t like doing, or that take you far longer than they should take. In return, you’ll be able to spend more time on the profit earning parts of your business, and spending more time outside of your business doing the other things you want to do. So what are you waiting for? If you’re not already, it’s time to start working with a Virtual Assistant now.
