Business Growth with a Virtual Assistant?

I quit my job in less than 4 months after hiring my Virtual Assistant and became a full-time Entrepreneur! It has been one of my best business investments to date.

Business Growth with a Virtual Assistant
Starting and maintaining your own business is stressful and time-consuming, we all know this. Often times as Entrepreneurs we get caught up with the 'little things' and the frustration builds as we find we are too often 'majoring in the minors' and sometimes even loosing focus of the big picture.

​It's easy to become absorbed in the 'small stuff' which feel like a never-ending pile of to-dos that prevent you from reaching your primary goals for your business, and as much as we know we need help, we may not be in a position to afford full-time help. That's where a Virtual Personal Assistant or a Virtual Agency like Business Chic is able to lessen the load and give you more time.



What's a Virtual Assistant?

Virtual Personal Assistants, aka VAs are
 able to facilitate tasks for you from a far. VAs may have more than one skill, but generally they are either men or women who prefer to provide professional services online, rather than in a traditional office setting. Many VAs are professionally trained in their respective fields or have work experience in their preferred area of practice.

What kind of tasks can I give a VA?

VA tasks can vary from data entry, general administration like checking emails, accounting to more complex tasks that you may have found yourself absorbed in doing or researching like; figuring out how to optimize your website for search engines, social media management, proposal writing to even flyer design and web maintenance. 

Here are a few tasks you can give to Virtual Staff, to help you take off a few hats and focus on what you do best!


  • Appointment Setting
  • Calendar Management
  • Social Media Management
  • Bookkeeping
  • Calendar Management
  • Email Filtering
  • Payroll Preparation
  • Phone call coverage - through call forwarding
  • CRM Updates
  • Organising Photos / Electronic Documents
  • SEO Optimization
  • Graphic Design
  • Blog Writing & Comment Responding
  • Web Maintenance
  • Event Management Assistance
  • Transcribing Audio Recordings or Handwritten Notes
  • Data Entry
  • Secretarial Duties
  • Proposal Writing
  • File Management
  • Online Meeting Notes
  • Basic Reports
  • MUCH MORE

Benefits of hiring a VA:
COST! Since VAs typically charge by the hour, work around their personal schedule and do so remotely - rates for VAs are quite affordable, plus there are no additional costs to your overheads. No need to worry about getting a bigger office space, an additional computer or even office supplies. VAs are also Independent Contractors, so there is no worry about having to pay a monthly salary with the required taxes. 

Is there a benefit with going through a Virtual Agency?
Yup! Virtual Agencies like Business Chic have a qualified pool of persons who work with them virtually. This enables you, the client, to have multiple tasks managed by one or several specialized and qualified VA to fulfill your needs at no additional cost, while the 'agency' manages each VA towards your project's completion.

So what are you waiting for? Sure you can keep doing it all, but when will you be able to achieve that illusive work-life balance if you are always working on the 'small stuff'? The time you spend working should be focused on profit-building activities and leading your business forward with the passion and drive you know you have, but weren't previously able to give fully.
