As a small business owner, it's easy to unintentionally get into a state of overwhelm when your plate starts to overflow with "all the things" involved in running a business. It's especially daunting if you work alone and have no one to lean on.
Don't wait until it all becomes too much before you entertain the concept of outsourcing. There are specialist Virtual Assistants ready and waiting to help you. The industry in Australia has exploded since COVID, as the once foreign concept of working remotely has become a reality. Working with a VA is a flexible and cost-effective option for small business owners as you can scale as required, and you are not responsible for an employee and the associated costs over and above wages. Let's look at some key indicators that you've reached a point in your business journey where a Virtual Assistant should be considered.
The saying "we work to live, notlive to work" comes to mind.
While your business may be your passion, if it ceases to bring you joy, then something’s got to give. I'm not saying taking on a VA will be easy. If you are not truly invested and open to change, then odds are it won't work. Remember – you don't have to do it all.
