Guide to Delegating Tasks to Virtual Assistants

Do you ever find yourself wondering which tasks to hand off to your VA and how to clear up that confusion? Well, you're in the right place. In this video, I'm going to share my top recommendations for delegating tasks to your VA. So, let's dive right in!

First off, it's essential to keep in mind that the tasks I'm about to talk about are all about recurring work. We're focusing on things that your VA can handle regularly, not just one-off projects. Why? Because setting up your VA for recurring tasks can lead to a snowball of freedom and confidence.

Let's start with the dreaded email inbox. If you're like most business owners, your inbox is a constant source of stress. Delegating email management to your VA can be a game-changer. They can help you unsubscribe from unnecessary newsletters, organize your emails, and eventually even respond to emails on your behalf. Consider having regular Zoom calls with them to work through your emails together and help them learn your email style.

Next up, your calendar. Your VA can assist with calendar management, scheduling appointments, and keeping things organized. Start by giving them read-only access before granting editing privileges. This can free up a significant amount of your time.

Now, here's one of my favorites – turning your to-do list into your calendar. Once a week, have a meeting with your VA where you both brainstorm tasks and prioritize them. Your VA can help you schedule these tasks on your calendar, effectively turning it into your to-do list. This accountability system works wonders, trust me.

Learning is crucial for entrepreneurs, but it can be time-consuming. Let your VA help. Every month, pick books or courses you've been meaning to explore and assign them to your VA. They can read, take notes, and provide summaries. Over time, you'll create a process for receiving these notes, which can lead to actionable steps for your business.

Lastly, think about creating coverage and management at the VA level. If you have multiple VAs, cross-train them on each other's tasks. This ensures that if one VA is unavailable, others can step in without you having to get involved. Consider elevating one of your VAs to a manager role to handle communication between team members.

Delegating these tasks to your VA can significantly lighten your workload and increase your efficiency. If you want more guidance on hiring VAs, check out my A to Z hiring guide in the link below. Remember, with the right approach, VAs can be a game-changing asset for your business.
