Reasons Why Outsourcing Will Help Your Anxiety (and Business)

While browsing the internet, I chanced upon an article listing 5 reasons why outsourcing will help your anxiety (and business). Here are a few snippets of information that you might find helpful:

Recognise your strengths/weaknesses and consider outsourcing frustrating or time consuming jobs to a Virtual Assistant. An experienced VA can complete a task in less than half the time you take to do it yourself…and maybe produce better quality work too.

1. You’re struggling. If you’re struggling with anxiety and overwhelm and it’s affecting your productivity at work, outsourcing can help relieve some of your everyday business stressors, giving you more time to focus on what’s important (this includes self-care).
2. There are tasks which you dislike. When you have tasks on your to do list that you just don’t want to do, they invariably get left. Those tasks then start to become more and more daunting…bigger and scarier, so they get left longer and longer. The result is you end up feeling like you want to run away and hide. A Virtual Assistant can do the jobs that you don’t like. Hate sales calls? Choose a VA who loves them!
3. There are tasks you *think* you suck at. No shame in this, for me it’s accounting. When you’re doing tasks that you think you suck at (which you probably don’t, it could be your inner critic telling you that…but that’s for another blog post) it brings you ZERO joy. Why do things which make you feel stressed and miserable? Pass it lovingly to a VA who can do the jobs you love to hate.
4. You’re feeling stressed about time. Your ‘to do’ list is growing rapidly and there aren’t enough hours in the day to get things done. Lack (or perceived lack) of time is a huge cause of stress and anxiety. A VA can help you prioritise your workload and will take on tasks, so you can free up some time to work on other projects.
5. You aren’t meeting your business goals. When you’re tied up with day-to-day admin tasks, the likelihood of achieving your goals is remote because you’re working IN your business rather than ON it. A VA can take on the daily tasks which are keeping you stuck, giving you more time to chase your dreams and goals.
