132: When Do You Need a Virtual Assistant?

Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. We’ve talked a few times about virtual assistants here on the podcast, but really, I can’t say enough about them. Remember last week when I mentioned how people often ask how I get so much done? Well, the truth is that I’m not personally doing as much as it looks like I’m doing. A big part of my task management and productivity is having assistants. In fact, one of the first things that I’ll talk about with coaching clients is getting a VA or in-house assistant set up to help with mundane, non-clinical tasks. I currently have two VA’s for the Testing Psychologist and another editor for the podcast.  So when do you need to consider a VA or in-house assistant? Here are just a few clues: You just started a practiceYou’d rather not pay your own hourly rate for practice management servicesYou feel overwhelmed with your responsibilitiesYou feel bored with certain parts of your day Cool Things Mentioned Free to Focus by Michael Hyatt The Virtual Assistant Solution by Michael Hyatt Virtual Freedom… by Chris Ducker Virtual Staff FinderiWorkerThe Productive TherapistBottleneck Virtual AssistantsMove Forward Virtual Assistants  CE Opportunity – Webinar on Remote Assessment!
