Outsourcing Administrative Tasks Equals Business Growth by:Michelle Murphy

As an entrepreneur, or a small business owner you are busy enough

. You spend much of your time attempting to network and grow your business. You would love to have the luxury of an administrative assistant but cannot afford the expense. If any of this sounds familiar, a Virtual Assistant (VA) may be right for you.

A Virtual Assistant uses technology to provide outstanding support to meet your needs. With a Virtual Assistant as your partner, you will have more time to devote to the growth of your business. Your VA is the reliable and experienced support that will oversee the administrative tasks that seem to take up your valuable time.

Outsourcing will reduce employer costs for equipment and benefits. You only pay for the time spent on your project. You will not pay for coffee breaks, down time, sick days or vacation time. Your VA is a highly trained professional who will bill you only for the time he/she is actively supporting your business. All communication with your VA is via the internet, email, telephone, overnight mail and fax machine.

Finding a VA who meets your needs is easier with today's technology. Most VA's have a website dedicated to their business. It is their business storefront and calling card. There are also directories such as www.ivaa.org and http://www.mediamage.com/links/pages/ where you can search for a virtual assistant.

A Virtual Assistant is motivated to help you succeed. They are entrepreneurs just as you are, and their success is based upon your success.
