Your business is growing. You\u2019re in your element when you’re focused on your sphere of genius, but you’re spending more and more time on admin and ironing out things that are holding you back from doing what you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ve probably considered outsourcing<\/a> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your business coach and networking friends have raved about hiring a VA (Virtual Assistant) or recommended outsourcing the mundane parts of your business. Making the switch from being a Solopreneur to having a team can be quite nerve racking, so often it feels easier to outsource single projects or single aspects of your business.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what happens when you DO outsource and your business gets to a point where it needs more and more hands? Suddenly the hours you\u2019re purchasing aren\u2019t enough. They\u2019re piling on (did someone say added costs?) and it can turn into a stressful exercise trying to manage the various people you’re outsourcing pieces of your business to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual Assistant Retainers offer peace of mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is when hiring a virtual assistance team or agency could be a game changer for your business. Choosing a retainer where the team always has time for you, and having an ongoing relationship with a team who knows your business, knows your brand and knows how you prefer to do things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are multiple members on the team who are able to assist in various areas of your business. You have access to a group of similar minded individuals who already have or can be given a clear idea of your business and how you do things. Someone\u2019s assigned to do any necessary training to anyone new on the team and you’re able to outsource the work you don’t enjoy without the stress of having to manage multiple team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having an ongoing relationship with a virtual assistant has a number of benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
