3 Tasks A Virtual Assistant Can (Probably) Do Better Than You

I know you’re the CEO of your business. But there are some tasks in your biz that a VA could do better than you. 

“Wait a minute, Selina! It’s MY business… I’ve been doing everything for years and we’re doing really well”... I can almost hear you shouting that to the screen right now. 

And I’m definitely not arguing with that. 

You’ve built your business to what it is now - super successful with happy clients. 

During your journey I know you’ve worn all the hats a successful entrepreneur has to. You’ve spun all the plates and you’ve put in more learning hours than you’d care to count. 

The result? You can do pretty much anything you have to turn your hand to in your business. 

But going back to my original point - while you CAN do everything your biz needs, that doesn’t mean you SHOULD. 

Because as you build and grow, there’s one thing I just can’t give you - more hours in the day (if only I could!)

When you reach this tipping point, it’s time to bring in the experts. It’s time to find one (or a team) of VA’s who can bring their expertise, leaving you to work in your zone of genius. 

What you end up with is a team of experts working to grow your business - what could be better?

If you’re on the fence about what expert skills a VA might bring to the table, here are 6 tasks you might be relieved to know you can hand over to someone else. 

Project Management

Whether you formally recognise it as project management or otherwise, you’ll do an element of this in your business. Anytime you coordinate multiple moving parts towards a common goal, you’re taking on this task in your business. 

And Forbes agrees that more and more of us are having to use these skills than ever before.

If the idea of pulling together many different strands of an idea and bringing them together to a resolution makes you want to run away, it’s probably time to bring in a VA who excels at project management. 

Content Strategy

We all know how important social media is for most businesses today. Between Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook…(and the list goes on) it can be hard to know which ones to concentrate on. 

What you really need is a content strategy - a cohesive plan that tells you what to post, where to post it and when. Even better is to have someone else write and schedule the posts for you. 

If social media isn’t your cup of tea but you know your business needs to be there, a VA who specialises in content strategy will be perfect for you. 

Inbox Management

Have you always dreamed of inbox zero but never seem to be able to get there? For every 10 emails you deal with, do you have another 50 come in? 

Keeping on top of your inbox isn’t easy and many successful biz owners have their own methods.

BUT it can be done. And if you don’t love the thought of implementing a whole new system yourself - or simply don’t have the time to manage the ongoing volume of emails you get on a weekly basis - a VA with inbox ninja skills will make the world of difference. 

There are just three of the many specialist skills you can find when you look for a VA who is the perfect fit for your company. 

Sometimes, it’s ok to accept you might not be the best person for a specific job in your biz ;-) 

All my best,
