| startTime | durationTime | text |
| 00:00:00 | 00:00:03 | this is the most important thing i have |
| 00:00:02 | 00:00:06 | ever done for my business |
| 00:00:03 | 00:00:07 | hiring a va legitimately tripled my |
| 00:00:06 | 00:00:09 | productivity |
| 00:00:07 | 00:00:17 | and they cost almost nothing to hire |
| 00:00:09 | 00:00:17 | let's get into the tactiks |
| 00:00:20 | 00:00:23 | when you hire a va not only do you |
| 00:00:22 | 00:00:25 | double your productivity |
| 00:00:23 | 00:00:26 | you actually end up tripling your |
| 00:00:25 | 00:00:30 | productivity for at least |
| 00:00:26 | 00:00:31 | three different reasons |
| 00:00:31 | 00:00:35 | when you hire someone you'll look over |
| 00:00:32 | 00:00:36 | all your tasks and figure out which ones |
| 00:00:35 | 00:00:38 | do you want to give them some of the |
| 00:00:36 | 00:00:39 | tasks will be too important or unique to |
| 00:00:38 | 00:00:41 | you |
| 00:00:39 | 00:00:42 | and you're not going to give it to them |
| 00:00:41 | 00:00:45 | some of the tasks will be |
| 00:00:42 | 00:00:46 | important but easy enough to explain to |
| 00:00:45 | 00:00:47 | your va |
| 00:00:46 | 00:00:49 | that you'll go ahead and give it to them |
| 00:00:47 | 00:00:51 | but interestingly enough there is a |
| 00:00:49 | 00:00:52 | third category there's a category of |
| 00:00:51 | 00:00:54 | tasks where |
| 00:00:52 | 00:00:55 | they're not important and you'll realize |
| 00:00:54 | 00:00:56 | this because you'll go through |
| 00:00:55 | 00:00:59 | everything you do |
| 00:00:56 | 00:01:01 | and realize that this isn't even worth |
| 00:00:59 | 00:01:04 | paying a virtual assistant |
| 00:01:01 | 00:01:05 | two to three dollars an hour which begs |
| 00:01:04 | 00:01:07 | the question |
| 00:01:05 | 00:01:08 | why have you been doing it seriously you |
| 00:01:07 | 00:01:10 | were probably doing |
| 00:01:08 | 00:01:12 | work right now you wouldn't even pay |
| 00:01:10 | 00:01:13 | someone two to three dollars an hour to |
| 00:01:12 | 00:01:15 | do |
| 00:01:13 | 00:01:18 | so why are you doing it realizing this |
| 00:01:15 | 00:01:18 | and stopping those tasks will save you a |
| 00:01:18 | 00:01:20 | ton |
| 00:01:18 | 00:01:23 | of time |
| 00:01:23 | 00:01:27 | when you assign your virtual assistant |
| 00:01:25 | 00:01:29 | new tasks you're gonna have to explain |
| 00:01:27 | 00:01:31 | how to do them now i personally prefer |
| 00:01:29 | 00:01:33 | to do a screen recording |
| 00:01:31 | 00:01:35 | showing my va how to do the tasks and |
| 00:01:33 | 00:01:37 | then they can reproduce it |
| 00:01:35 | 00:01:39 | on their own other people have different |
| 00:01:37 | 00:01:41 | methods such as typing out step by step |
| 00:01:39 | 00:01:42 | how to complete the task but it doesn't |
| 00:01:41 | 00:01:44 | matter no matter how |
| 00:01:42 | 00:01:46 | you give your va a task you're going to |
| 00:01:44 | 00:01:48 | have to explain the steps to them |
| 00:01:46 | 00:01:50 | which leads to something very |
| 00:01:48 | 00:01:50 | interesting as you're explaining the |
| 00:01:50 | 00:01:52 | steps |
| 00:01:50 | 00:01:54 | what you'll often realize is certain |
| 00:01:52 | 00:01:57 | steps aren't necessary |
| 00:01:54 | 00:01:59 | or could even be automated by a computer |
| 00:01:57 | 00:02:02 | program with services like zapier |
| 00:01:59 | 00:02:02 | ifttt mailchimp and even google script |
| 00:02:02 | 00:02:08 | is |
| 00:02:02 | 00:02:09 | one i highly recommend |
| 00:02:08 | 00:02:11 | know it's hard to believe but there are |
| 00:02:09 | 00:02:14 | people that are better than you |
| 00:02:11 | 00:02:15 | at specific tasks and guess what they're |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:18 | for hire |
| 00:02:15 | 00:02:18 | as a business owner you're not supposed |
| 00:02:18 | 00:02:21 | to be |
| 00:02:18 | 00:02:22 | an expert at every task you're supposed |
| 00:02:21 | 00:02:24 | to realize |
| 00:02:22 | 00:02:25 | what to delegate and who to delegate it |
| 00:02:24 | 00:02:29 | to for instance |
| 00:02:25 | 00:02:31 | my va dan is a much better video editor |
| 00:02:29 | 00:02:31 | than i am he can do things that would |
| 00:02:31 | 00:02:34 | take |
| 00:02:31 | 00:02:36 | me ten hours to do in just two hours |
| 00:02:34 | 00:02:38 | plus he knows how to do fancy things |
| 00:02:36 | 00:02:39 | that i have no idea about like crazy |
| 00:02:38 | 00:02:41 | jump cuts |
| 00:02:39 | 00:02:43 | and other special effects i have my va's |
| 00:02:41 | 00:02:46 | edit my videos for me |
| 00:02:43 | 00:02:48 | respond to emails for me do social media |
| 00:02:46 | 00:02:50 | write blog posts and really any task |
| 00:02:48 | 00:02:53 | that i don't want to do |
| 00:02:50 | 00:02:55 | or that's repetitive i have my va's do |
| 00:02:53 | 00:02:57 | for me by being able to delegate |
| 00:02:55 | 00:02:58 | tasks to your virtual assistant your |
| 00:02:57 | 00:03:00 | brain just |
| 00:02:58 | 00:03:01 | works better because you don't need to |
| 00:03:00 | 00:03:04 | learn how to do |
| 00:03:01 | 00:03:04 | every little thing for every task you're |
| 00:03:04 | 00:03:07 | able to be |
| 00:03:04 | 00:03:08 | the commander of your business instead |
| 00:03:07 | 00:03:09 | of just |
| 00:03:08 | 00:03:12 | the lowly foot soldier now if you want |
