Have you set an intention for your year? A word of the year can be a fun way to create a simple guiding marker to check in if we are acting in alignment with our goals, values and intentions. Let's talk about why this may or may not be a better fit for you than resolutions.

Let's wrap up this chat about outsourcing by putting it together. Now it is time to understand WHO you need. If you have listened to the last episodes then you should have a list of ideas you want help with, and you should understand what sort of skillset you are looking for.Now it is time to look at your values! Why? I firmly believe that you will get the best experience when you bring someone you can trust to back your brand values. This is key to you being able to let go of tasks and trust your team with them. Next, look at your budget. It is a-ok if you only have a budget for a little one-off help right now. And it is ok if you are ready to bring on someone with a meaty budget and a bit list too. But understand the level of help you need. Lastly, look at HOW you are going to onboard them. Do you know how to communicate what you need to be done? Do you know how to give them the information they need? I have a free worksheet here to help you as you work through the outsourcing process https://www.knockonwoodvirtualassistance.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Podcast-Resources-Who-To-Pick.pdf

Continuing on the topic of Outsourcing a bit more and today looking at what a Virtual Assistant actually IS?While this might seem unimportant it is actually essential. Just like 'tradies' covers a whole range of skills from builders to electricians to mechanics and everything in between the term 'virtual assistant' is also a broad term covering a whole bunch of skill sets!Let's break it down a little. Go back to the last episode on what you need help with if you are still not sure what type of help you need. Got questions? Let me know!

Our first topic on the Tiny Bites of Business Podcast is Outsourcing! I have a process for this topic and I am going to take you through this one piece at a time. Starting with "Why Outsource" Outsourcing is a big topic and people often treat it quite simply. "Just get help" they say. But outsourcing won't necessarily make things better for you if you dont get the right help, on the right things and from the right person. As a business owner you need to step into CEO mode first and clarify a few things before you are ready to speak to potential VAs about supporting you. Lets start with WHY you want to outsource and what the purpose is.I have a handy worksheet for you here as you work through this topic. Grab it for free and get ready to take some notes. Download now: https://www.knockonwoodvirtualassistance.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Podcast-Resources-Why-outsource.pdf
