You\u2019ve probably had a business meeting with someone who came at you with ideas that seemed off the wall. They\u2019re either so creative that you can\u2019t wrap your mind around it or they\u2019re looking at something through a perspective that you can\u2019t see.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, that\u2019s how it feels as I write this blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a client who wanted his virtual assistants to be the thought leaders and faces behind his budding business.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019ll eventually step into the roles himself, but for now, he wanted the spotlight to be on his assistants.<\/span><\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t met many entrepreneurs who didn\u2019t want to head their own business. This is new to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

100% Delegation and Outsourcing<\/h2>\n

He explained the idea behind why he wanted to delegate 100% of the workload out to virtual assistants.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be transparent, he hates writing. The act of writing blog posts is not something that sparks his motivation, and he would spend endless weeks trying to push out one post. As a father of two and a current business owner<\/a>, he isn\u2019t willing to sacrifice personal or business hours to work on an unmonetized project.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also thought about hiring a ghostwriter, but it didn\u2019t sit well with him to take credit for someone else\u2019s writing. His plan for this blog is to show others what could be done if they decided to outsource heavy, tedious tasks, from their business. So he hired me to write his content, giving me full credit for my writing, as his website fills up with blog posts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every part of this business venture is outsourced, including the words you\u2019re reading on this post.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the writing wasn\u2019t the only thing that he needed to get done.<\/span><\/p>\n

He needed to integrate his blogging platform with Drip, a newsletter provider<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sure, he could go on Google, watch some YouTube videos, and attempt to do this integration himself, but that could take up to a week. That\u2019s a lot of wasted hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, his other assistant, Mae, could set it up in less than an hour.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Boom. Done. Blog posts are written and technical integrations set up. 100% outsourced to virtual assistants.<\/span><\/p>\n

This blog is devoted to the journey of delegation and outsourcing to virtual assistants.<\/span><\/p>\n

If he\u2019s going to advise that you delegate and outsource for your own business, you can bet that he\u2019s going to provide social proof that this works.<\/span><\/p>\n

See him as his own first customer and a guinea pig for all the ideas he has for this blog. He can\u2019t teach outsourcing if he\u2019s only delegating part-time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Risks of Delegating 100% of your Business<\/h2>\n

Every part of a business is risky, from starting the business to hiring independent contractors. The difference is, he\u2019s hired virtual assistants who have stacked skillsets in areas that he struggles with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t like to write? Delegate it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t figure out the software? Outsource it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t see a higher risk with virtual assistants, versus doing it himself. For example, if there is a mistake a virtual assistant made, who is to say that he wouldn\u2019t have made the same error himself?<\/span><\/p>\n

Mistakes happen, but as long as the relationship between the client and the virtual assistant remains honest and genuine, there\u2019s minimal risk involved.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s at a point where he\u2019s completely breaking down different parts of this business and trying to figure out if there\u2019s anything else he can outsource.<\/span><\/p>\n

Work Smarter, Not Harder<\/h2>\n

The old cliche of working smarter, not harder, can be applied when it comes to outsourcing. We mentioned that he\u2019s a husband, father, and a business owner, so his time is always crunched for hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

He could stay up every night and work on this business himself. However, he doesn\u2019t want to compromise his quality of life by trying to do everything himself. He instead devotes his time to the company that\u2019s already bringing in money.<\/span><\/p>\n

His goal with this blog is to show you that you can reduce your workload and the time you spend on your business by delegating.<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, everything\u2019s been going smoothly. We\u2019ll explore how consistent this method is, as we grow closer to the launch date.<\/span><\/p>\n
