Listen "Here's why you need a VIRTUAL ASSISTANT"
Episode Synopsis
Use Upwork to Hire a Virtual Assistant: www.upwork.com - Create a 'Client' Profile and Get Started!
If you find yourself doing a ton of low value data work that doesn't move the needle in your business or work, you need a VA. Half of our lives get lost in mind numbing work - Research, Data Entry, Emails. Imagine if you outsourced that and had that time for yourself. A Virtual Assistant is generally a freelancer that specialises in doing the work that you don't want to do. There are virtual assistants for content writing, calendar scheduling, data entry, any type of research. Literally anything you could imagine, you can do with a VA.
**3 Reasons**
1. Use your time more effectively a. if your life is full of work that "you shouldn't be doing". Don't. For example, for my podcast I do a lot of research into what guests to have on the show. It used to take me 5 hours a week. That hassle is now gone. That's 5 hours to focus elsewhere. b. You have to value your time and value the type of work you can achieve with that time. For example, recording an interview is a $50 per hour item. But researching who to get on, I value that much much less. It's all based on what moves your business or project forward.
2. Work while you sleep or vacation a. You never have to feel guilty about sleeping in on going on vacation. Because your business is always moving forward. b. They can continue to work while you take time off
3. Learn how to manage teams and improve your communication a. If you haven't managed people before, you will get a true view in what it's like to have employees under you and how to manage properly b. The biggest thing I've taken away is how to explain assignments clearly and concisely. This is a huge skill
**Final Tips**
Finally, I love upwork the most. I've tried all and I have found the best talent here and the ease of use of the platform is amazing.
1. Set a budget and stick to it. Don't go overboard. It's easy to put a CC in and forget. Manage hours and time effectively
2. Don't give tasks to the VA's for the sake of it. Take time to think about why you're giving them that task and why it will be helpful and move your business forward.
3. I highly recommend VA's. Streamline your life and learn to manage people. Absolutely no downside
