Help Needed

Share This Post

Have you thought about what specific tasks you need help with and what kind of support you are looking for?

Not really, no. 

I just know that I need help and I need it fast!

As a business owner, you wear many hats and have many tasks to complete. It’s not uncommon to feel overworked, stressed, and have things falling through the cracks. 

But, there is a solution! 

Hiring a virtual assistant can help you manage your workload and take your business to the next level.

As a virtual assistant and business owner myself, I understand the value of outsourcing certain aspects of my business. And, it’s a common theme I hear from other business owners. They know they need help, but don’t know where to start.

That’s why I want to share some tips on how to hire a virtual assistant and make the most of this valuable resource.

First and foremost, you need to define your needs and expectations. Make a list of everything you don’t like doing, don’t have time for, or are not good at. Then, prioritize which tasks you want to delegate first. When it comes to interviewing virtual assistants, it’s helpful to have a clear understanding of your needs at a high level.

You should also consider the level of oversight you want to have. Do you want the virtual assistant to have autonomy, or do you need to review each task before it’s completed? These are important details to iron out before you start your search.

So, where do you start your search? 

Ask for referrals and set up a discovery call with a virtual assistant. This is an opportunity for both of you to see if you’re a good fit, discuss the scope of work, and set expectations. 

A good virtual assistant is honest about their abilities and will let you know if a particular task is outside their expertise or if they need to refer you to someone in their network.

Hiring a virtual assistant can save you time, money, and stress. By mapping out your needs and expectations, prioritizing tasks, and building trust, you can find the right virtual assistant to support your business and help you reach your goals.
