How to get a better work-life balance with a virtual assistant
Take a moment to think about your average day. When you get to work, you reply to emails, answer phone calls, do admin work for hours, and then you have all your other tasks to do. You work late most days, which means you don’t have much time to spend with your family.
Time is your most valuable resource
Time is your most valuable resource for so many reasons. Even though money pays the bills, it is the way you spend your time that determines how much money, freedom, and power you have. Those moments cannot be retrieved once they have been spent.
Onboarding your virtual assistant
One of the most successful ways to bring your virtual assistant onboard is to have an onboarding document that contains the most important information of your business. For many start-ups or small businesses, hiring a virtual assistant can mean the first hire for the business. This could leave you feeling a bit intimidated on how to get started and onboard your very first employee. Having clearly documented processes helps to make tasks repeatable allowing your VA to refer to a single document when they need to know their next steps.

How to delegate effectively
