How your Virtual Assistant Can Help You Better with "undelegatable" Tasks

A common challenge a businessman might face is: "You can delegate to your Virtual Assistant some of your work but still be overwhelmed by projects you feel that cannot be delegated".

The idea that a project can’t be delegated is very common. Usually, there are those who consider these as very complex, highly valuable projects that cannot be sent down the line to their Virtual Assistant to do the job.

This perspective is not correct. When faced with this challenge, these entrepreneurs describe the project and explain what they mean when they say it's undelegatable: The tasks are being done by them for so long that they feel they can navigate its complexity faster and more effectively than anyone else. To add to that, when scheduling these tasks in their calendars, the project is scheduled as a single entity.

Recently I was in an auto body shop and they were showing me a part that I needed to get for my car. On the first screen was the part; it looked normal. But then the technician wanted to show me how it was put together and how it would attach to my car, so he clicked a link on the screen called "exploded view" and the part turned into something else: The individual components that make up the part, as if the single part had exploded into its components. In this exploded view, I could see that the single car part was actually hundreds of parts (including screws and washers and layers of various pieces).

That's what entrepreneurs need to do with their complex projects: Look at the exploded view. So the writer from the above example - and, in fact all of the clients to whom we recommend "exploding" the project - need to perform the following steps:

Sit down and list out all of the steps that you take to do your project. For writers, don't just write "write ebook", but rather list in excruciating detail everything that needs to be done. When the writer does this, you will come up with a long list (and below are some of these to illustrate):

• Confirm topic
• Perform high-level research
• Create Table of Contents
• Email Table of Contents to client
• Receive confirmation back about the Table of Contents
• Create a mind map of the chapters
• Perform chapter-specific research

Next, the business owner needs to take the exploded view of the project and highlight what portions can be delegated to a Virtual Assistant.

This has a bottom line impact: Complex projects can be completed faster because a major portion of the work is performed simultaneously, thus allowing for more billing cycles!
