I’ve hired a virtual assistant to help out with my selling process and a few other things. As a result, some areas of my business are starting to show signs of life again. Namely, my blog. This is the kind of thing that was just never going to get done amid the swirl of other things to do.

I haven’t quite gotten to the point where I can hire a sales force yet, mainly because my pricing structure isn’t quite solidified enough to do it. But I am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Hiring out some of my admin tasks and paperwork has taken some weight off of my shoulders so that I now have more time to focus on the things that matter.

Also, I found that hiring someone forced me to sit down and write out instructions describing how I do what I do. That has been quite insightful. I notice how many things that I just keep up in my head. Getting them on paper has shown me that it’s really not as complicated as I make it out to be.
