You're busy growing your business, managing teams, and wearing multiple hats. Hiring an executive-level virtual assistant (VA) could be a game-changer—but only if you view them as more than just cost savings. Having witnessed firsthand the 10X benefits of leveraging a remote labor force, here's my advice on extracting maximum strategic value from a VA:
Don't just offload tasks. Think bigger. An elite VA can complement your strategic thinking and planning. Partner with them to analyze problems, create vision boards mapping 5-year goals, and ideate new products and processes. This will multiply your leadership capacity.
Level up through accountability and different perspectives. A talented VA won't just complete checklists but will push your ambitions higher with astute questions and insights. Their unique take can reveal blind spots while their structured follow-through raises the bar on execution.
Focus on high-ROI activities. Calculate your $ per hour in tasks that only you can perform—the 20% generating 80%impact and revenue. Then delegate the remainder to your VA. Give them ownership over core functions so you're free to drive innovation and growth.
Avoid piecemeal delegation; integrate them into operations. Rather than hand off random low-value tasks, embed your VA into key aspects of your company as an extension of the leadership team. They will bring continuity, institutional knowledge, and leadership bandwidth spanning roles an employee couldn't cover.
Simply put, the future belongs to those who can scale their vision and capacity. An elite VA multiplies (again: 10X!) what you alone can achieve in a day - allowing you to focus on strategic initiatives. VA’s represent the next evolution of executive leverage for savvy entrepreneurs.
If you're ready to elevate your game, it may be time to hire your next secret weapon.
Thank you (again!) for reading!
