Hiring someone to help you in your business is a big step.
Having that person work virtually, most definitely adds another layer of “caution” or “concern” for most…an additional layer of “worry” on top of the bundle of nerves.
But it doesn’t have to be like that.
Here are a few things to consider when hiring virtual assistance, more specifically, when hiring a virtual accountant.
As I’m sure you know by now, I’m an accountant so I’ve done my fair share of bootstrapping and looking for frugal ways to get stuff done…
WITHOUT cutting corners when it comes to quality.
A lot of times when we are making an effort to simplify our lives and build our team… we can’t seem to think of the things that our team members can do.
This can be especially hard when we are so used to doing everything ourselves.
Ever look at someone else that’s doing the same thing that you’re doing (business wise) and wonder to yourself how did they get to where they are and how is that you’re still where you are?
No? Just me? Well then work with me a second and pretend that you’re just like me and you’ve wondered to yourself how you can get out of your own way and get growing in your business “like everybody else”…
I admit it… I am working on my addiction to procrastination. Some days, I just want to sit and read a book…especially on a nice breezy, summer day. Or on a nice snowy, winter day… next to the fire.
But that’s not always feasible. To be successful, we simply have to get stuff done… and that won’t happen if we take too many days off to read books. 🙂
So…I tell people I’m a Virtual CFO (or on a lazy day… a Virtual Accountant) and the first thing that comes out of their mouth? What’s THAT?
So you want to know…. here’s the answer. Check it out. (more…)
