7 Signs It’s Time To Hire a Virtual Assistant:

We find these experiences are extremely common for solopreneurs and business owners. In fact, they come up so frequently during our discovery calls, we decided to make a list for you!

#1 You're Less Than Present

I remember when I was in the early years of running Rock Solid. Even when I was spending “quality time” with my family and friends, my mind was on work. I was constantly thinking about the emails I had yet to answer, the tasks that had to be done, and the clients I needed to close. Unfortunately, my family and friends could tell that Tracy wasn't actually with them, and it was so difficult.

#2 Your Work Hours are Endless

What does your schedule look like right now? Do you even have a schedule? If not, is it full of meetings, tasks, and all things business? Regardless, you're probably working every waking hour possible. Listen to me my friend, this kind of schedule is not sustainable! It's not even worthwhile. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

#3 You Work. Every. Single. Day.

There isn't much else I need to say about this. If you work every single day, are you truly happy about it? Do your friends and family enjoy seeing you consumed by work? Probably not, right? Ok, moving on.

#4 Quality time actually means “working while family is present.”

I will never forget the night I crawled into bed, exhausted. My husband turned to me, kissed me gently on the cheek, and said, “I miss you, Tracy.”

I rolled over, tears in my eyes. Eventually, I had to leave the room because the tears wouldn't stop. It is my heart to help other business owners never, ever experience this kind of heartbreak. If this resonates, don't even read the rest of this blog. Just click here and get on my calendar.

#5 Every Work Email Begins With An Apology

Are you answering every email with, “I'm sorry for the delayed reply,” or “Thank you for your patience,” or “We will need to move the deliverable date for your project to…" etc?

This is a sign of being overbooked and overwhelmed. It is not a great way to run a business, and it definitely isn't providing your customers with a good experience.

#6 The Quality of Your Work is Slipping

If you're overwhelmed with work, the things you do may lack your normal standard of excellence. If you (or your clients) are noticing this, then it is time to look at how you're scheduling out your work!

#7 Your Work is Rushed, and Probably Late.

This is another hallmark of an overworked business owner. You can't do everything all the time and provide an amazing product, a stellar client experience, and keep your sanity.
