Hi!
- identify what specific tasks do you want to delegate that dont feel like “such a big deal” - you can start with those and then add on top as you start feeling more comfortable
- identify what are the main personality, knowledge, skills your VA needs to have + what are “nice to have”
- think about how many hours/week do you want your VA to start off with
- post the job ad and start having interviews
You may also check if there’s someone from your network who could refer a VA to you.
When delegating feels heavy and as something that makes you “lose control”, you always want to start small and then add on top.
Once you start working with your VA, you can come up with the right process to keep in touch and track progress.
Hope this helps and all the best :)
Btw, if you’d like to chat further, feel free to message me/connect on LI.
I would try to find someone in your existing network, maybe a recent college grad who's a family friend or something where you have some kind of social connection. In my experience, hiring within my network has given me much more trust in the people I work with and employ. Looking for someone random online would cause me a lot of anxiety
Hire a local VA that you can get to know in person; have them help you with the "trust issues" (financials, personal info), communications with family. etc. Then hire an offshore to help you with areas that it doesn't matter - taking calls, setting appointments. Have the local VA find ways to mask your personal info on systems and data managed my the virtual offshore VA
If you know that you have issues letting go of control, then does it make sense to start with the other person? Or with yourself?
That sounds harsh and rude. I don’t mean it to be. Often people who want control have really high standards. They want things done perfectly. And as the saying goes, “if you want something done right do it yourself”.
But, as we advance in our careers, there comes a time when we can only advance further if we can lead others. And how can we do that if we need to have control of everything? Then we come to a decision. Do we want to keep our world small and completely under control? Or do we want to learn to manage mistakes and imperfections and explore all life has to offer?
