The right time to hire a virtual assistant
If you are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work that you have to do, the best time to hire a virtual assistant was last month. The next best time is right now!
No more delay. Bite the bullet because it’s time to move forward and get that done.

Questions to consider:
- What are your main pain points?
- Which tasks do you always have to do that drain you?
- Can you set up a task list?
Pick one thing to start with
What is the one thing that you need help with right away? If someone could come in tomorrow and say, “I’m here, what can I do to help you?”, what would you have them do?
These tasks could be things like answering the phone, doing client intake or follow-ups, or answering and sending emails.
Let’s start with a handful of things that we know we can immediately get off of your plate that would make an impact on your day, and then we’ll start seeing how much time is left.
Beth Lachance
Do not wait until you feel overwhelmed to start looking for assistance because then you are risking your health and the success of your business.
Be proactive in finding support, because ultimately, it will help you to create your best private practice.
Man, when you feel [overwhelmed] or you’re three-quarters of the way full, it’s time to hire somebody and time to get somebody in there. So, don’t wait to burn out. Don’t do [it] like me!
