A virtual assistant colleague’s “tweet” alerted me to this article at Fox Business. A snippet:
clipped from www.foxbusiness.comIf you’re like most entrepreneurs, you’ve got piles of paper cluttering your office and to-do lists that seem to be multiplying like rabbits. The good news is that many of the tasks that keep you from being as productive (and profitable) as you could be can be outsourced. You may not think you can afford to hire help, especially in these economically turbulent times. But the fact is you can’t afford not to.
Article author Pattie Simone of Entrepreneur.com goes on to:
- explain the Profit Formula for using a VA: “a little front-end investment for maximum returns“.
- give four real world examples of small business owners who are successfully leveraging their time and increasing profits by teaming up with virtual assistants.
One business owner interviewed notes that:
“Their 15 minutes is another person’s hour.”
If you’re still not sure just what a VA could do for you and how she/he could help your business, this is worth a full read.
