And you probably have to, until you’re generating revenue . As soon as that happens, things change . Priorities shift. To-do lists grow . New ideas, projects and opportunities pop up every day, all of which are left for you to juggle .  \nWhat if you had the right support to help keep you and your business not only in check but growing?  \nImagine that new email campaign copy you’ve avoided writing for days has been broken down, researched and organised in such a way that it almost feels like you’re just filling in the blanks .  \nImagine you’re no longer prioriti sing and checking off each box of your to-do list, rather it’s a document that lives with someone else, somewhere else—far, far away from you .  \nImagine you’re no longer the gatekeeper of every new project, launch, contractor or task. Your VA or OBM is handling it all for you .  \nIn this guide I'll show you why this role is ( or will be) essential foryour business and how to start delegating as quickly as today.  \n“If you want to do a few small things right, do them yourself. If you want to do great things and make a  \nbig impact, learn to delegate .”~ John C.

So, let's break it down ... we offer 3 main areas of support for clients we work with.  \nLEAD VIRTUAL ASSISTANT  \nA Lead VA has a background in executive assistance and becomes your virtual PA. She'll take on the daily tasks and processes that are important for running your business but not necessarily focused on growing it.  \nThe tasks that you would delegate to a General VA tend to be technical and repetitive in nature, such as managing your emails or travel schedule, scheduling your appointments, data entry, research, scheduling posts on social media, and so on .  \nEXPERT VIRTUAL ASSISTANT  \nAn Expert Virtual Assistant is someone who has a very specific skillset and is better suited to owning and/or overseeing a very specific process in your business .  \nTasks such as graphic design, email campaigns, bookkeeping, video editing, websites, social media strategy and ads for example are better suited to an expert VA.  \nIn our case, clients have the option of delegating these tasks via their Lead VA or working with one of our experts directly.  \nVA OR OBM?  \nOBM (ONLINE BUSINESS MANAGER)  \nAlso known as an Integrator or Project Manager, this role takes the operation of your business from you . OBM's are outcomefocused, whereas a VA will generally be task focused, and it's their role to assist you in the growth of your business .  \nYour OBM will be focused on managing your projects and meeting the desired outcomes . From hiring the best contractors through to testing and quality control, it's the goal of your OBM to take the management of all your ongoing projects (whether they be marketing, financial, operational or otherwise) so you can focus on the vision .  \nWith an OBM on your team you're free to concentrate on the activities you're good at and enjoy doing, that have a direct impact on your income .  \nYOU  \nOBM  \n5 SIMPLE STEPS TO WORKING WITH YOUR VA  \nThe 5 Step Process  \nDocument Tasks  \nJob Description  \nFinding your VA  \nThe Trial  \nBefore you commit, finish your search with a trial period.  \nMake a list of all the tasks and processes you want to delegate to your VA.  \nHow to find and hire the best fit for your business.  \nSo you're clear about who you're looking to bring into your business.  \nTesting your VA Before making your final choic","cbCaieIgIVzuFAXC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieIgIVzuFAXC","pdf",9827743,6,19,"English","# VA or OBM?\n## Lead Virtual Assistant\n## Expert Virtual Assistant\n## OBM (Online Business Manager)\n# 5 Simple Steps to Working With Your VA\n## Step 1: Document the Tasks You Want to Outsource\n## Step 2: Create a Job Description\n## Step 3: Finding Your VA\n## Step 4: Testing Your VA\n## Step 5: The Trial\n# How to Get Started With Us\n## Your Next Step","[{\"question\":\"What is the difference between a VA and an OBM?\",\"answer\":\"A VA typically focuses on task support to help business growth, while an OBM is more outcome-focused and manages projects and desired results.
