Sometimes people look at me like I have two heads 💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️ when I say that I think a person should have a virtual assistant right from the START.⠀
But it's true. This is what I believe.⠀
Think about it...⠀
⠀
When you started your business you probably had certain things in place:⠀
✔ created an LLC and took care of other legal matters ⚖️⠀
✔ set up an office 💼⠀
✔ set up a bank account 💳⠀
✔ made sure your wifi was secure 📶⠀
✔ purchased software and online tools 📀⠀
⠀
But right from the start...from the minute ⏰ you start working with clients and customers, there is work to be done that either⠀
1. you are not good at 💩⠀
2. you don't enjoy 👎⠀
3. it doesn't create revenue 🚫⠀
4. someone else can do it better 👀⠀
⠀
Let's say you are consulting or coaching for $100 per hour.⠀
⠀
It's Monday, and you have one client. You've made $100.⠀
⠀
But you spend 3️⃣ hours writing the proposal, sending the contract, writing the emails, and filing the notes from that client. ⠀
(Not to mention the marketing you are trying to do, content creation, and sales calls).⠀
If you are charging $100 an hour, you earned -$200. YOU ARE ALREADY IN THE RED.‼️⠀
⠀
If you set up your business so that someone else is handling the tasks that are not revenue-producing, you will see growth🌱 right from the start.⠀
But actually, if you use those 3 hours to get on sales calls, to write your killer webinar, to Livestream, to see more clients... you are potentially in the black by hundreds or thousands of dollars...💵⠀
⠀..because THOSE ARE THE REVENUE-PRODUCING TASKS.💰⠀
Usually, we look at it the other way around. ♻️⠀
We say, "if I make x amount of revenue, I will hire someone".⠀
⠀
But the problem with that thinking is that it takes way longer to get to x if you are spending so much of your time doing the things that DON'T CREATE REVENUE.⠀
I know entrepreneurs who are in the 4th, 5th, and 6th years of business and are STILL spinning their wheels 𐃏 because they have yet to understand this simple formula:⠀
💥 you + VA = growth💥⠀
