I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Cloning is the sincerest form of flattery” and when it comes to your business you should definitely flatter yourself! If you are like me, you have wished at some point in your life that you could create a clone of yourself just to get everything done. If you’re like me and an entrepreneur or if you operate a small business this is especially true. Being able to rely on someone who knows how we do things and how we like them to be done is invaluable. Many of us feel that there will never be anyone who could possibly know our business as well as we do or do things they way we would. But wait, is that really true? What if you could really hand-off some of your workload and still feel like it is in good hands? Even if your business is moving along quite nicely, just think how much better it would be if you could hand-off some of your workload. You know the saying, “Many hands make light work.”
How is this possible? Unfortunately, we are not able to actually clone ourselves but we can do the next best thing. We all do tasks which could easily be done by someone else. The trick is learning how to let go. I can’t emphasis enough that in order to maximize our success we must learn to give some of our tasks to others to accomplish. The entrepreneur who does not outsource will find it difficult to grow and may be destined for failure in the long run.
We are all talented in our own ways and in that regard we should concentrate on that which we are good at. You may be best at your chosen field of work but the everyday office tasks weigh you down. You could be spending more time growing your business if you could give some of those tasks to someone else. Virtual assistants are particularly good at business maintenance tasks, and with the proper amount of upfront guidance and direction from you will be able to take a lot of heat away from your working day.
You will be surprised when you see that everything is ticking over nicely after having outsourced a sizable portion of the daily grind. You will be able to focus on more important things – like not only business expansion, but also home life, your social interactions, your golf swing and so on!
