SYS 078: When is the Right Time to Hire a Virtual Assistant?
Steve has worked with hundreds of businesses of different sizes and types over the years and has concluded that NOW is the right time to hire a Virtual Assistant no matter what stage you are currently at. In this episode he explains how the first step into investing into a Virtual Assistant can set any business on the path to increased productivity and profit.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There is an incredible abundance of talented and dedicated VA’s internationally waiting to be hired by you that will be great, motivated and supportive members of your team.
- The lifestyle difference you get from having someone to delegate to, can exponentially increase your free time by allowing you opportunity to further problem solve and systemise within your business.
- The barrier to taking the step to employing a VA is simply not knowing how to do it, but be prepared to make mistakes on your way. Use resources like Systemize Your Success to avoid many of the pitfalls.
- Use Upwork or Fiver to hire VA’s by advertising your task singly and often coded tasks can be done for you as one off jobs.
- When you hire people it should make you richer. The time you save can be utilised by you in more lucrative tasks.

Steve’s been investing in property since 2002, has a degree in Computing, and worked as a doctor in the NHS before quitting to focus full-time on sharing his systems and outsourcing Methodology with the world. He now lives in Sweden and runs his UK-based businesses remotely with the help of his team of Filipino and UK-based Virtual Assistants.
