As a freelance writer, coach, or even an author, you probably try to do everything yourself when it comes to your business.

Yet, no matter how much you know about the business aspect of writing and/or coaching, or how good you are at completing the various tasks involved, it is wise to use systems and have help to maximize efficiency.

This is where virtual assistants come in.

A virtual assistant, or VA, is a man or woman whose job it is to support an aspect of your business.

Usually done remotely, they don’t need to live near you to be effective.

A VA can be anywhere in the world and provide their services.

Depending on the type of help you need, a virtual assistant can access your back office and implement systems that either streamline or eliminate tasks.

Because helping you is their business, you will likely save money by not having an employee and the associated costs, but still having all the benefits of a personal assistant.

A Few Reasons a Virtual Assistant Will Make Your Business Better:

1. Virtual Assistants have skills you don’t.

VAs generally have a wide breadth of knowledge and/or are highly specialized in specific tasks. They can either consult with you and show you ways that you can streamline your business or implement ideas that you already know you want.

When you need systems put in place, a VA can help you install the systems and manage them over time.

This wise use of your resources allows you to do income-generating tasks while they manage important but non-essential tasks.

This keeps you from having to be an expert in a platform or app but still allows you to use it in your business for proficiency.

2. Virtual Assistants have time you don’t.

VAs provide support as their service.

They are on the clock delivering you the support you need.

While it is important for you to work on your business, it is a better use of their time to work in your business.

Generally, a VA can save you time and money by creating systems that you can use over and again once they are set up.

There is no doubt that having systems in place reduces wasted time and maximizes resources.

Hiring a VA is an excellent way to assess your business, review what systems are beneficial, and implement them efficiently.

Consider hiring a VA to help you manage your business and enjoy the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
