3 Reasons VA’s are Hired by Business Owners

Small business owners waste an exorbitant amount of time performing administrative tasks instead of devoting time to growing their business. Successful small business owners discovered this was not the best use of their time and decided to outsource administrative tasks to Executive Virtual Assistants. More importantly, business owners hire Executive Virtual Assistants to save time, generate revenue, and increase productivity in their business as follow:

Time Management:
One of the primary reasons small business owners hire Executive Virtual Assistants is to free up their time. Small business owners are often overwhelmed with various administrative tasks. By outsourcing these tasks to Executive Virtual Assistants, they can focus on the core aspects of their business that require their expertise.

Cost Savings:
Small business owners often operate on a tight budget, and hiring a full-time employee can be expensive. By hiring an Executive Virtual Assistant, they can save on costs associated with employee benefits, office space, equipment, etc. Also, Executive Virtual Assistants typically charge for the time spent working on specific tasks, making it a more cost-effective option for small businesses.

Flexibility:
Executive Virtual Assistants offer small business owners the flexibility to hire someone on a part-time or project basis. This means they can hire a virtual assistant for a few hours a week or for a specific project, without committing to a long-term contract. This allows small business owners to scale up or down as the needs of their business change.

Is Entrepreneurship Right For You?

Virtual assistants are in high demand and the industry can be very rewarding and lucrative. However, just like other professions, it will take hard work, consistency, and great strategic planning to succeed.

Although, the sky is the limit in your earning capacity, the truth of the matter, the majority of virtual assistants are not making 6 figures in their business in spite of popular beliefs, but it is possible!

While being an independent contractor/entrepreneur is rewarding, it does come with some challenges as well, which we discuss in this very raw and uncensored video. During this post-pandemic era, there has also been an incredible shift in Corporate America when it comes to office etiquette/politics, professionalism, and the hiring practices of administrative support personnel.

We would love to hear your thoughts. If you’ve witnessed similar situations outlined in this video, we would be interested in learning about your experience. Also, if you have any questions about starting your own virtual assistant business, leave a comment or contact us via our website at www.HarlemWorldPalm.com – We look forward to connecting with you and thank you in advance for your feedback.

Virtual Assistant: The Keeper of Secrets

According to Politico, Madeleine Westerhout, President Trump’s personal assistant, was fired previously. It was reported that Westerhout made some very personal, unprofessional, and disparaging remarks about members of the President’s family to reporters. Although, the administrative support profession has evolved over the years, the one thing that holds true is our ability to be the “Keeper of Secrets!”

Today, the title and responsibilities of a “Secretary” have significantly changed to the present Administrative Assistant, Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, and Virtual Assistant. However, the original term “secretary,” is from the Latin word “secretum,” meaning “secret,” indicating the level of trust inherent in this position.

Although, it is not certain when exactly the secretarial profession was first created, it appears to have been a male-dominated profession prior to the 1930’s. According to an article titled, “A Look Back at the Secretary Profession” by Kim Evans, a timeline of some noteworthy events outlining the evolution of the administrative support profession is very enlightening.

Fortunately, Westerhout has taken responsibility for her actions and acknowledged that she made a mistake. While it is true that “we all make mistakes,” a professional administrative support person understands the important role we play regarding trust, loyalty, discretion, and confidentiality, especially as a professional virtual executive assistant.

During these very unprecedented times we are experiencing globally with the corona virus pandemic, it is comforting to know that you can virtually connect with a company who will never take your trust for granted. At Harlem World Palm Consulting, we take the privacy and confidentiality of your information very seriously! To learn more, contact us and book a Consultation or Discovery Call today.
