Most owners of consultancy and service businesses spend more time administering their business than earning money.
Your Online Personal Assistant does the majority of things that a personal assistant or office administrator does, but they’re never in your office. Answering telephones, replying to emails, invoicing your clients… anything you can do online, your Virtual Assistant can help you with.
Small and home-based businesses need reliable support while not yet able to hire a permanent employee. Even a single-person operation can use an extra hand.
Your Online Personal Assistant is a just-in-time resource you should know about.

These days, as the owner of a small business, you have hundreds of tasks you have to fulfill before the day is done. Everything from bookkeeping to social media management, as a small business owner you have a lot on your daily plate.
Chris Ducker, a virtual CEO and publisher of ChrisDucker.com, recommends every entrepreneur to create a “3 Lists to Freedom” for immense entrepreneurial success. These three things help you delegate your time more effectively and boost productivity.
Here are the three things you should write down:
- Things you hate doing.
- Things you can’t do yourself.
- Things you shouldn’t be doing.
The first item is very simple: write down what you dislike doing in your business on a day-to-day basis. This could be anything from bookkeeping to administration.
The second thing are daily elements of the company you don’t have any experience in, which could consist of social media marketing to graphic designing.
Finally, according to Ducker, the third placement will fundamentally change your business and is a “game changer.” So ask yourself honestly: what shouldn’t I be doing? Remember, you’re not a superhero.
Ducker says this is essentially the road map to taking on a virtual assistant, or VA.
