You have done the work, made the plans, accomplished the goals, and now it’s time for the next level – EXPANSION. Congratulations! You’re well on to new experiences and opportunities for your business. However, with great power comes great responsibility and that responsibility is showing up in the form of the many tasks it takes you to keep your business running and growing.

With so many things that need your attention- deadlines, proposals, collaborations, posting, scheduling, strategizing, and more, an extra hand can really help you. *Deep breath* Okay, you decided to get the extra support and hire a virtual assistant. However, you’ve been doing it all for so long that you don’t quite know how to delegate YOUR business’s tasks. I’m here to help you navigate through what tasks you can outsource to your virtual assistant and what tasks you can manage.

  1. Write out all of the tasks that have to be done for your business. You can use my FREE Task Manager (click here) to get you organized and start writing down your tasks.
  2. Write how long this can take. It doesn’t have to be exact but an estimate. This is the perfect time to reflect on how long it took you to do these tasks on your own and an outlook on the time you can get back when delegating it.
  3. Next to each task, write if this is something that can “Move” your business forward or if it “Maintains” your business. If it “moves” your business then these are tasks that are spearheaded by you! For example, Filming content, strategizing, or prepping for a meeting or conference. If it’s something that can be maintained, those are the tasks that you delegate to your virtual assistant. These tasks include but are not limited to scheduling posts, organizing files, data entry, tracking, or website upkeep.
  4. Group these tasks so that “Move” tasks are together and the “Maintain” tasks are together.
  5. Lastly, share all of the “Maintain” tasks with your virtual assistant to get them started on the tasks that keep your business active and afloat. For all of the “Move” tasks, you can start on and begin to operate on a more productive level and do actions that help GROW your business.

Now that you have your tasks written, grouped, and categorized your transition to delegating your tasks to your virtual assistant should be easier than ever. If you’re excited about handing off your tasks but don’t know where to get a supportive virtual assistant who encourages your growth and manages your needs, I’d be more than happy to connect with you and explore how my virtual assistant services can help you.
