I have a neighbor who just bought a mountain bike.
He calls me and says “Hey, we need to go riding! I got a bike!”
I’m like, No…we can’t ride right now, the trails are all snowed over or muddy.
Now’s not the right time.
When is the right time to hire a VA or OFS?
I’ve always felt there’s a key indicator for most people.
When you have a process in your business that
– you know how to do
– its repeatable
– you feel like you could teach someone else to do it
It’s time to hire a VA.
I’m not talking about teaching a skill. You’re not teaching how to write or photoshop or something like that. Skills are things you can hire for.
I’m saying if you have a process you could teach someone else to follow, you’re ready.
Teaching the process doesn’t have to be some big involved written out thing.
– Record a screencast video.
– Use Snagit.
– It doesn’t have to be long.
– Super simple.
If you
– don’t know what you’re doing in your business
– aren’t sure why you’re hiring a VA
– aren’t sure what they’ll do for you
– don’t really have something that works
It’s probably not time to hire a VA yet.
That key indicator doesn’t have to be the thing you’re going to outsource…but it’s a good indicator that you need help.
