Transcript excerpt from a conversation (YouTube video) about challenges and hesitations when delegating tasks to virtual assistants. Speakers describe emotional barriers (loss of control), concerns about trust, and practical examples (CRM management) where delegation saved time and enabled focus on growth.
What are some of the challenges that you guys faced in delegating to virtual assistants? Like, where are some of the things that might maybe that you struggled with before or currently struggle with? Where is that challenge come for you? Because I know a lot of people hesitate on hiring a virtual assistant.
I mean, as much as I loved and could see the benefit of a VA in the very beginning, I was a tiny bit hesitant whenever I was bringing one on, as excited as I was, because it's literally letting go of things that you have the control over. Right. You're. You're handing that to someone else and trusting someone else to take those tasks on. So even though, like, little things, like our CRM management. Right. And that's something that. That my VA came in and she handles for me just to make sure that I'm not missing anything. And that's something that I would do every day, but it would take so much time to go through each one and make sure that I was on top of everything. Right. Where. Whereas I could be doing other things to help our company grow. So that's.
Yeah. I'm not naturally good at delegating. I have a hard time with it because I do like control, and I like things done a certain way. And it's not to say that my way is the right way, but it is efficient. And so it's just letting other people have the freedom to do it on their own and to grow in their own way. Yeah.
I love how you said efficient for people who are watching the episode. I want you to go back and rewind. Kayla went. It is efficient. It was like this whole, like, it kind of rocks, but it's true.
