Tasks you can delegate to your Virtual Assistant

Hey, 

You still think you can run your business without help? Trying to micromanage your business can actually kill your business. 



You spread yourself too thin, leaving the most important aspects of your business unattended to. You leave your customers unsatisfied and eventually lose them to the competition. As I read on Facebook today, a business without customers is not a business but an NGO πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.. I am sure you don't want that. 

A virtual assistant is a key ingredient in starting up and running your business. The virtual assistant can help you with tasks you hate to do, things you cannot do yourself and most importantly things you shouldn't be doing. 

If you are still unsure of what tasks to delegate to your VA(Virtual Assistant), see a list below of normal day to day business activities which take up a chunk of the work hours of the average business person.
