As a business owner, have you calculated what an hour of your time is
worth? Kate LaFrance is here this week to help you understand what it
costs your business when your time is expended on the administrivia.
To your success!

What's An Hour of Your
Time Worth in Your Business?
 As
a small business owner, I know how much an hour of time can mean to me.
It can mean being able to attend a networking function; working on a new
marketing campaign; socializing with folks in my target market and nurturing
new business relationships; creating new products and services... These
are all activities that grow business and increase profits.
But what if your attention is constantly interrupted by
the administrative chores in your business? If your time is worth $100,
$200 or $300 and more per hour, is it a wise investment to be focusing
on those things? And what if you don't do them well? Aren't you wasting
even more time and money?
Let me tell you what a Virtual Assistant can do
in an hour for your business...
We can return a call to a vendor on your behalf; edit and
proof your latest sales letter; smooth over that sticky billing situation
with a customer; research those new marketing avenues you haven't been
able to get around to... and that's just a few things.
How long would those activities have taken you?
When you invest in a Virtual Assistant, you are paying for
a professional who is dedicating that time to your business.
And because we are the administrative experts, we can get a whole lot
more done (and done better) in an hour than you could ever imagine doing
on your own.
Virtual Assistance is concentrated support; it's 100% efficient.
Just imagine what even a few hours of help each month from a qualified
Virtual Assistant can do for your business! Those are hours you can then
focus on marketing, networking and making more money.
So the next time you are wondering why you just never seem
to get to the important work that will keep your business running, growing
and generating revenue, imagine an hour of your time as a $50 or $100
bill. How will you spend it? On something short-term and unproductive?
Or on an investment in your most prized possession--your business?

a Pro," which describes it perfectly!
