“Most small business owners and service professionalsare doing way too many things that they could, andshould, be delegating to someone else.
Are you in this category?
Often the excuse used is that there are not enoughfinancial resources to justify the expense, or they feelit's just faster to complete the tasks themselves. Even ifyou have an assistant, chances are you are most likelymassively under-utilizing them.”
“Either way, you will greatly benefit from identifyingtasks that someone else could do, which will
free up your timeto devote to business development and other tasksthat you specifically must do.”
“Usually you will find that when you invest in help of a… (virtual) assistant, they can produce the intendedresult at an affordable rate, and even faster than youcould do it yourself.”
“This will allow you to do what you do best: bring innew business, keep your current clients happy, andcreate new work product.”
“Ask yourself these questions:
What am I doing that it would be better, faster and
more cost-effective for someone else to do?”
“What would be best for me to stop doing?
In other words, what are the tasks that are simple
enough to delegate, or are tasks are not in your
wheel-house…?”
“This effective evaluation should reveal to you many
tasks that can and should be delegated. No
highly-skilled professional should send faxes, make
copies and appointments, or run errands. They just
shouldn't, and neither should you!”
“Don't have a team? You can hire a virtual
assistant… to take those necessary but difficult
and/or tedious tasks off your hands. These valuable
assets are worth every dime, because they allow you
to focus on your core competencies and provide
more of your high-dollar services. This will give you a
feeling of balance, which in turn lowers your stress
level. Then, you're able to take on or do more of what
you want.”
“Delegating is critical to your future success. Start
today by investing in yourself: use your time and
money to set yourself up for that future success by
engaging those individuals who can make your
business success, and life, easier.”
