Declare your independence by working with a professional VA

If you run your business from home and want to give that impression of looking bigger – then work with a Virtual PA. You don’t have to employ someone.

Having your own PA gives a little prestige and shows that you’re happy, confident and trusting when delegating work. Plus, working with a good PA lets you concentrate on other areas, letting them get on with sorting your daily/weekly activities and of course acting as that expert gate keeper.

Having a virtual PA on board gives you independence to move forward, having someone to rely on, take the load when something goes a miss, for example children being poorly, ideal situation whereby you can ask your virtual PA to cancel that important appointment with a client and reschedule while showing a professional, confident front.

Most sole traders/entrepreneurs are so busy wearing 20 different hats, tying themselves in knots and forget the purpose of ‘enjoying life’ – isn’t that why you decided to go self employed anyway…

Having the independence to go and do – leaves you relaxed and happy that your virtual PA is fielding your emails, answering them on your behalf, building relationships with clients, suppliers, business colleagues, booking your appointments and dealing with letters and reports.

If you’ve already got a busy family life and spend your time driving from meeting to meeting – the last thing you want to do on your return home is type up your notes from the day’s event before you forget what was said.

Find time in your day to speak with your PA and give them the information verbally over the phone. They’re most likely far quicker than you at typing and setting the letter/report out to look good.

If you are in a new business or have been going a good while, give yourself and someone else some independence. Delegate and use professional support offered by the virtual assistant.
