But, we’re here to talk about business so with that in mind let’s talk some biz….How much time are you actually spending on these tedious tasks? You know the ones I’m talking about. The rekeying of information, the tireless and robot-like things that we need to do IN our business.These are the perfect tasks to outsource to a virtual assistant and the reason is because they don’t have a huge learning curve because they’re fairly easy to learn AND TO TEACH!SO, this sounds good in theory. You’re probably nodding your head and saying something like “Yes, I need to do that”! But, just in case you aren’t there yet, let’s talk about the RETURN ON INVESTMENT because hey numbers are real money.But, First Let’s Calculate Your Target Hourly Rate...Some will teach an advanced formula such as…Looking at your monthly (OR ANNUAL) income goal then dividing it by the number of hours you need to work for that period of time.For example: $200,000 (annual income goal) divided by 2,000 (# of work hours) equals $100 per hour … BY THE WAY… 2,000 hours is based on working 40 hours a week. So, take this example with a grain of salt because the goal is really to work 4 hours a day or less. But, remember we need to put in the work upfront to get to that point.ANYWAY…NOW, that we see our time truly is worth $100 per hour … WE need to realize that every task in our business has an approximate dollar valueWHICH MEANS, we need to be extremely mindful of where we spend our time!To hear the full podcast, head on over to Spotify, iTunes or any other pod player to listen to the full podcast!NOW, before I let you go… it’s time for some homework!ACTIONS (Homework)First, I have two options for you…You can download my time audit worksheet or2.
