Are you a CEO? Founder of your company? Business owner?
If yes, do you often find yourself working on these not-so-glamorous tasks every morning when you reach work?
Don’t get us wrong - all these tasks are important. It’s just that they are not directly generating any income for you, plus they are heavily time-consuming. It’s akin to doing work without any short-term benefit. It requires effort that could be spent doing things that you are actually interested in and that fits your role at work.
And no CEO has time to go through the above-mentioned list, when you have better things to see to.
Here’s why we believe every business owner should consider hiring a virtual assistant. Just outsourcing the four tasks above (for example) can save at least an hour from your tight schedule everyday.
Hire a VA to automate your tasks and help you maintain efficiency!
A VA will do what needs to be done at a timely manner.
In order to do so, however, you have to automate your own tasks first.
“Working with a skilled virtual assistant — and using a SYSTEMATIC APPROACH to save time — has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made. I save over 30 hours every week, and I can spend time doing the things I love instead of booking travel and doing online research.” - Ramit Sethi.
If you’re a busy CEO whose job scope involves a lot of running around, then this might save you more than one hour everyday!

Hire a VA to automate your tasks and help you maintain efficiency!
A VA will do what needs to be done at a timely manner.
- Need her to check your emails three times a day to clear the junk and tag the important items? Check.
- Need her to update your calendar with important events that you have been invited to via your email? Synced.
- Need her to unsubscribe you from emails that are not your cup of tea? Done.
In order to do so, however, you have to automate your own tasks first.
- Have a conference call with your VA when you hire her so she understands your daily routine. Find out important time slots and what you need to filter out.
- Delegate the tasks to her accordingly. If there’s any ad-hoc work to be done, go through a process at the beginning so both of you are not lost and stuck when working together at a later stage.
- Sync your systems with hers - make sure she has access to the emails you need her to check, calendars you need her to update and other important details.
- Give your VA permission to take the extra mile - does she see an upcoming event in a foreign country? Get her to remind you to book tickets or even, give her the permission to do it herself - with your confirmation, of course.
- Use technology to communicate with your VA on a regular basis to check if necessary milestones have been achieved.
