Improve your worklife balance with a VA
It’s the dream for business owners to improve their worklife balance but how do you do it? We all know that feeling to well of spinning too many plates and trying to everyone to everybody, well don’t panic help is at hand - getting a VA might just be the answer!
A VA can bring many benefits to your business and we cover these in our blog here ?but if work life balance is what you are looking for, keep reading!
Delegation, delegation, delegation!
Quite often it is the fact that we don’t offload routine tasks that means we are doing work stuff when it should really be time to switch off. “I’ll just send that meeting invite, I’ll just send that invoice”. Sound familiar?
With a VA you can pass over the day to day, process driven tasks that really don’t need you as a business owner to do, but you just haven’t let go of yet. If you add up those “quick” tasks over a week, just think of the hours you get back and what you could do with them!
Streamline operations
If you have processes in your business that have a clear workflow, and repeated steps, then a VA is ideal. For example, your quote/proposal process for potential clients, you need to do the initial meeting to establish the relationship and gauge the clients need, but if you have a preset format and cost for quotes, a VA can input all the detail into the document, format is appropriately and send it out for you.

Put that Out of Office On!
As a business owner is can be hard to avoid just checking in, or looking at emails when on holiday. After all it’s unlikely your business can completely stop for a week whilst you sip cocktails in the sun. But if you want more peace of mind that queries are being looked at, non-urgent ones being acknowledged with an out of office and anything urgent flagged up to you by your VA you can really step away from those constant notifications.
Feel better in yourself
Freeing up time to spend with friends and family, doing the things you love the most with give you mental clarity. Having everything organised and knowing that is being taken care of will reduce stress. Off-loading mundane and repetitive tasks will reduce decision tension and fatigue.
What is not to like about that?
Trying to improve your worklife balance may seem like a massive task but by using a VA there are simple steps that you can put in place to take the first step in the right direction. Your business (and your family!) will thank you for it.
