As an entrepreneur or small business owner, are you doing EVERYTHING yourself when it comes to running your business?
Can you relate to the following?
• You feel like you’re spinning your wheels because everything takes so long to handle.
• You’re overwhelmed and frustrated by the lack of forward movement with your business.
• At the end of a work day, you feel like you haven’t accomplished a thing.
A Virtual Assistant (VA) can be a lifesaver.
Most entrepreneurs and small business owners try to do too much of their own work. As you grow a business, sooner or later, you’ll find that you can do anything, but you simply can’t do everything! You need a right-hand person. Someone who will climb into your business, learn a lot, provide top notch support, collaborate with you, and work with you, long-term. Yet, most times, you don’t want the hassles associated with having an employee --- taxes, insurance, equipment, physical space, conforming to Federal employment guidelines -– and working with a Virtual Assistant (VA), you have none of that.
What is a Virtual Assistant?
A Virtual Assistant is a highly trained and skilled administrative professional who, as a support and growth partner to entrepreneurs, provides high level, long-term collaborative administrative assistance, without having to be physically present in the client’s office. A VA works from her own home office, and provides such great assistance that clients often forget that she’s not just down the hall. The entrepreneur or business owner pays just for the amount of time he uses the VA’s services, and writes one check for it at the end of the month.
Great support, convenience, and no hassles. What could be better?
It does get better! Part of the benefit of having a VA is that you haven’t hired anyone. When you work with a VA you get a partner, not an employee. You get someone who chooses to work with you as much as you choose to work with her. People work with VAs because they:
• Don’t have the space for someone in the office
• Don’t want someone in the office
• Don’t want the associated work and cost of having an employee such as payroll and benefits

Clients find that when they partner with thegreenva, and allow me to proactively support him or her, they free up time and energy to focus on the things they love and do best. And when you give away the work that doesn’t need your personal attention, you gain space and time in your life for an abundance of other things. These things might include:
• Growing your business
• More time with family, friends
• Balancing home and work responsibilities
Very soon after, your business really starts to move forward because you have time and focus to dedicate to increasing your product and services, which, of course, translates into more money.
