The Benefits of Having an Assistant 
by Pam Weiser

As an entrepreneur, how much time do you spend trying to get yourself organized, trying to complete projects or to-do’s, only to be pulled in multiple different directions, before getting organized or completing those projects? Your focus gets lost, time gets wasted, and ultimately, the wasted time costs you money. Sound familiar? You should be spending your time in front of customers and clients, closing deals!

This is where having an assistant comes in. Delegating tasks to your assistant frees up your time to focus on your growing business.

A great assistant can help you with:

• Staying on schedule and time management
  • No more spending hours trying to schedule meetings
  • No more forgotten or double booked meeting times
  • Use your assistant to help you manage your time and calendar, so that you can focus on long term goals and strategic plans.
• Getting organized
  • A good assistant can help with creating processes and procedures to help streamline efficiency.
  • Make better use of your time and work smarter - not harder!
• Work-life balance
  • Hand off administrative tasks to your assistant to help alleviate boredom of doing menial or time consuming tasks, or even personal things, like forgetting to buy a birthday gift for your partner.
  • Use your assistant to avoid burnout, being overworked, and having added stress! There are only so many hours in the day.
  • Improve your relationships! Get your time back and delegate!
• Establishing a “partnership”
  • Over time, trust will evolve, and you know that you can depend on your assistant to get things done.
  • Use your assistant to troubleshoot, problem solve, and be the “go-to” person for decision making and to help move your business forward.
  • Allow your assistant to take initiative, learn new skills, and provide strategic support!

Yes, having an assistant is an investment, but by investing in a great assistant, your productivity will improve and you can focus on the larger picture...PROFITS!!

“Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant. Being selective – doing less – is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.” – Tim Ferriss
