It is quite understandable to get overwhelmed in running an online business. There are so many aspects to oversee. The responsibility of a virtual assistant to make the client’s life easier by taking care of the tedious tasks in a their business. Below are 5 reasons why you need a virtual assistant and how they can be beneficial to you!
1. They give you more time. Time is very precious. You can never get it back once it is gone. While your VA takes care of the repetitive and tedious tasks, you can focus on the bigger picture of your business. You are the mastermind behind your business, therefore do what you do best and delegate the rest.
2. They save you money. If you hired someone to come work for you wherever you are located, there would be extra expenses involved on top of what you would be paying for a salary. With a virtual assistant, there are no overhead expenses. You only pay for the time you need.
3. They help you increase your productivity. If you are busy spending time on projects that can be delegated, then you cannot be focusing on projects only you can work on. While you work on your projects, your VA can be working on all the other needs of your business. This means you can get more work done during the day because you are not trying to do everything yourself.
4. You don’t have to learn the technology. With technology changing rapidly it can sometimes be hard to keep up with everything. Instead of trying to learning about all the new programs and software, hire a tech- savvy VA who already keeps up-to-date with technology. Then they can inform you of anything that may be helpful and beneficial to your business.
5. They help reduce your stress. Running a business can be stressful. There is a lot of work that goes into a business. You are only one person and can only do so much. By working with a VA, you can reduce stress and take a load off you by handing over those important projects that do not really need your attention. Delegating can truly be a benefit to your business and health.

Learning/keeping up with technology! lol I do okay, but typically know just enough to get by & not be super savvy, which is key to really reach people appropriately & make desirable impressions.

I understand, Katie! Knowing what technology to use in your business can be overwhelming because there are so many options. But, having someone be able to tell you what would be helpful in your business and then implement it for you is huge!
