Before you read this article on how to know if you’re ready to hire a VA, just first know that everyone is different! Something that I suggest isn’t a good idea might work perfectly for someone else! We are all different and this is just my opinion! So without further ado, my opinion!
Let’s be honest, knowing when it’s time to hire help for your business is a hard one. Your business is one of the most important things in your life so bringing someone into that is intense. Especially when you’ve been running the ship alone for a long time.
You’ll hear a lot of people suggesting that you should “hire before you’re ready” in preparation but honestly, I don’t subscribe to that.
I think you should hire when you’re definitely ready. And you should generally only hire someone if what they’re going to do is either going to increase your income or improve your lifestyle. Below are some things that I think are good signs that you’re definitely ready to hire some help.
Firstly a good sign is when you’re comfortable with your business systems and processes. When you have things fully worked out and proof that they’re working. You need to also be confident you could teach someone else how to do them. Until you have all of this sorted you could be bringing someone in just to pay them to do things that aren’t increasing your income or improving your lifestyle.
Secondly, when you know that you could earn more money if you’re time wasn’t focused on certain other tasks this is a really good sign it’s time to hire help. You should hire people to do the tasks you’re either not as good at or don’t enjoy or just take loads of time!
Finally, when the idea of paying someone to take something off your plate makes you feel relieved and not stressed out… that’s an excellent sign it’s time to hire help.
How do these sound to you? Have you hired help in your life or business? How did you know you were ready?
