Do what you do best, and outsource the rest.

‍

As an entrepreneur, it can be tempting to become the jack of all trades and work on every single aspect of the business yourself. You want to take the driver's seat and have full control over everything because you’re thinking no one else knows the business better than yourself.

But what happens here is that focusing all of your energy IN the business hinders you from focusing on what actually matters. 

And what is it that matters?

Growing and scaling your business, right? 

You soon realize that doing everything yourself can lead to burnout and even worse, quitting. Luckily, you don’t have to fall into this trap if you know what it is you want to delegate and who you should delegate these tasks to.

Virtual Assistants or Virtual Talent (what we like to call them here in VTA), are every entrepreneur’s answered prayer. When there are tasks that you cannot or do not want to do yourself, hiring a VT can save you so much time and effort.

Work ON the business rather than IN it
