As I get older and smarter I spend more time thinking about what I am doing. I think about what I am spending my time on at this exact moment. I think about what I did an hour ago and whether or not it was productive. And I am starting obsessive more over what is coming up to try and minimize the amount of time I was on something.
Out of all of these the following realization has hit me:
I cannot do everything
I have several personal and business projects in motion. This blog about making money, especially passive income, is one of them. I also have my main company site, and my personal branding site. I have my social media accounts that need work on a regular basis. And our business is really growing so the number of client online marketing projects is just skyrocketing. There are only 24 hours in a day and I am falling asleep at they keyboard. My IRL (In real life) relationships are suffering, and I am not doing any flying right now which is breaking my heart.
So in October I made a huge leap and brought on board my very first virtual assistant from odesk.com. I took my time and did my research to find some one who had the skills I needed: WordPress, content management, SEO, and the ability to think on their own and come up with great ideas and implement them.
I am happy to say that this has been an absolutely amazing experience. But it has not been easy. The biggest issue has been trust. I have a huge ego and for the most part I don’t believe that anybody can do it as good as me except for me. And my beliefs are wrong in this area. Given the right instruction anybody can do what I do. So my new challenge in life is documenting what I do every day and how I do it.
Stay tuned. Have you ever used a virtual assistant? What are your biggest challenges?
