How many times have been working long hours, wishing you were just about any place else – relaxing at the club, over at your friends house or checking out a new movie? On how many occurrences have you noticed that tiny pang of guilt when you miss your children’s chess tournaments, or when you have to arrange for a private car to pick them up from after school football practice?
This is really a very common scenario. Your work-life balance is something that is quite difficult to realise if you’re not at your best. You want to get out of it, yet you feel like you can’t because there is just too much on your plate at the moment, or you simply can’t afford to be taking the time off. A virtual assistant can change everything!
So what can you do to get this balance back in your life? Based on your specific personal situation, there are probably quite a few solutions which could appear – it might be that you just haven’t realised any of them yet.
A possible solution, or perhaps – a perfect solution, is to hire virtual assistants. This solution is like having an independent online assistant who can act as your virtual – genie in a bottle. For most VA’s, when it comes to business, your wish is there command. Maybe you’ve thought of hiring a virtual assistant before, but weren’t sure of what you would do with them – in other words, where do you start when considering this change?
Well, first of all it would be a really good idea to initially take a good look at your schedule – daily, weekly and monthly. Write down 2 lists:
1. The first list will be a list of the things that you do, that you really don’t enjoy doing or don’t want to do at all.
2. The second is a list of things that you don’t do, but which you’d really like to be doing.
Then, my advice would be to do a search on the internet for virtual assistants, either on Google, virtual assistant directories or through networking sites such as Ecademy.
Then pick your top 5 potential virtual assistants. Go for ones where you like the way that they present themselves and their business – scan over their range of services, check their rates, look over their FAQ’s and get a feel for whether they might be the right one for you.
Then, send an email with your detailed lists to the 5 VA’s you chose, and with this also make a small note at the bottom which says something like, “This is what I require assistance with. Can you help me to achieve these goals?”
Asking will cost you nothing at all, and it will give you good insight into how various virtual assistants can take the pressure off you, helping you to regain your work-life balance. At the end of the exercise you will have gained some valuable tips for dealing with a VA, and you’ll discover what these special individuals can do to help you to achieve work days which involve doing more of what you’d really like, and less of what you don’t, and finally, right here, you may well have just found the person who can make all of this happen for you.
Either way, when you hire an expert virtual assistance specialist, you have nothing to lose – and everything to gain!
