Have You Hired a Virtual Assistant but Still Feel Overwhelmed and on the Brink of Burnout?

Do you want better results in less time at a lower cost?

Productivity experts often recommend virtual assistants to save time, accomplish more each week, and avoid burnout. However, these gurus usually fail to highlight that you only reap the rewards of working with a VA if you learn to delegate effectively. 


The truth is, leaders often feel compelled to create work for their VAs instead of delegating their regular tasks, which only weighs them down more, causes additional stress, and could lead to full-blown burnout. At that tipping point, their reaction is often to withdraw from delegation altogether.

Withdrawing from delegation only puts gasoline on the fire and stops growth in its tracks.

Leaders are not born with an innate ability to delegate well, but delegation is a skill you can develop. Leaders who delegate effectively could be the difference between success and failure for some organizations.

  • Entrepreneurs are more likely to burn out, and women are even more likely. In a Winter 2022 survey by FutureForum, 46% of women reported burnout compared with 37% of men.

  • According to London Business School professor John Hunt, only 30% of managers believe they can delegate well – and only one-third of them are actually considered “good delegators” by their employees.

  • On the other hand, another Gallup study found that business leaders who delegate well saw 112% more growth than those leaders who did not delegate effectively.

PS. Don't let fear and a lack of trust hold you back.

Delegation is the most powerful leadership strategy to help you scale your business because it is a vital form of self-care, directly reducing stress at work.

Some business leaders hold onto their task list because they fear failure and trust no one more than themselves. This mindset may be the tenacity that pushed you to launch your business, but when you hold onto this over time, it becomes a limiting belief that erodes your quality of work and, ultimately, the quality of your life.
