I have noticed that many of our fellow entrepreneurs are reluctant to take the plunge. So often, they don't get the help they need because they think that hiring a full-time, physical assistant is their only option- at least not at the beginning. Perhaps ever. There are lots of reasons for you to rethink your approach to staffing; first, it takes forever to find the right person. Second, employees cost more than their salary. And you have to find a place to put your people, you need to keep the people you have busy and availability isn’t the same as competency. Employees don't exactly work eight hours a day, and sometimes firing an employee is a hassle. Your personnel budget is suffocating your margin for growth and lastly, an affair will cost you more than you think. 

     A businessman/entrepreneur need to hire a virtual assistant if you feel overwhelmed with your workload. You need help digging out from the administrative file. You know you could really “move the needle” if you could focus more on what you and only you can do. You want to be more productive and less stressed. And when you know you need some help but cannot afford someone to work full-time. You don’t want the hassle of recruiting, hiring, and training a physical assistant. You want and need more margins in your life. 

   There are lots of services that a virtual assistant could help you and your business grow. Anything that does not require her physical presence.
