Do Less, Accomplish More: How to Delegate At Work

Do Less, Accomplish More: How to Delegate At Work

You know those managers who look like they have it all together? Their business is growing, they give back to their community and they still make it to all of little Timmy’s soccer games.

You could envy those folks. You could be annoyed by them. You could sigh wistfully and wish you were more like them. But the best thing you could do is learn from them. Lucky for you, we know their secret. 🤫

They can do it all because they don’t try to do it all. They’ve mastered the art of delegation. Someone else handles the minor-but-important tasks that keep things running, freeing up the manager’s time to focus on the big things in their work and their personal life.

Fill your cup and get comfortable, because we’re about to teach you how to delegate like them.

What You Need to Do Before Hiring a Virtual Assistant (It’s Less Than You Think)

What You Need to Do Before Hiring a Virtual Assistant (It’s Less Than You Think)

Does this sound familiar? An overworked exec or entrepreneur spends too much time stuck in the weeds of day-to-day busywork. They know a virtual executive assistant could take those admin tasks off their plate, and they’re going to find one – just as soon as they get the business in order, document some processes, figure out which tasks to delegate, make a training plan…

So, never. They’re never getting out of the weeds. 😖

We get it. A lot of busy people are flying by the seat of their pants, handling things as they come up. And though that works for them, it’s not a system an EA can step in and take over. So they put off finding an assistant, thinking they need to get organised before bringing in help.

Meanwhile, they waste valuable time and energy on work that’s not making them happy or moving the business forward.

If this sounds like you, we’d like to share a secret: you’re making this harder than it needs to be.

You’re already overwhelmed. Why add another layer of tasks to your list before getting someone to help you? That’s like cleaning before the maid arrives. It just doesn’t make sense.

Instead, reverse the process.
