Why spend on an admin when you know how to use a computer and can do it yourself?

Think about it. Your single most valuable asset is you and presumably nobody is more valuable than you are at running your business.


But you're bogged down in data entry, checking social media, doing research, reading never ending emails, preparing reports, transcribing notes, client follow up, etc.

In other words, if you don’t have an admin, you are the admin. With everything spinning out of control right now, you need to focus on the big picture.


Even if you can do all the administrative work yourself, why should you? The hours a day you spend on administrative work would be better spent calling prospects, learning, or thinking strategically. Always try to spend as much time as possible using your unique strengths on your highest leverage activities. Doing day to day administrative work really isn't where you should be focusing.


Words of wisdom.

Tony Robbins’ First Assistant In an interview, Tony Robbins tells a similar story of starting out—still just a teenager—and realizing that as broke as he was, he was going to hire help, initially for just two hours a day. He tells his story:

"I think in the very beginning the hard thing is you think you can only do it yourself and then there’s only so many hours and you’ve got kids and family and friends and how do I do it all?

The answer is you hire someone. And I was running to the airport sweating like crazy, and I’m a sweater anyway. Sweating like this, trying to get in the door, and it was like, what is wrong with this picture?

I could be doing something that’s so productive and I’m standing in line at the dry-cleaning place. This is just nuts. And so, I was really… I was like 17, 18, 19, I don't know what I was, and I said, ‘I’m gonna hire somebody.’ Two hours a day, that’s what I need to start with. And then it was 4 hours and so on.

And so, my view is I don't do anything that someone else can do better, and I don't do anything that isn’t the highest and best use of my time.”

A virtual assistant is like having an extra pair of hands without hiring an actual employee. If you’re experiencing stress and the other “good problems” that come with success, it might be time for you to consider hiring your own virtual assistant and get back some of those hours in your day.
