Talent rich, time poor? You need Your Own PA (YOPA) support…

Talent rich, time poor? You need YOPA support…

You’re busy. The work is piling in and that’s just great. But something is starting to niggle. This ‘running your own business’ lark is supposed to be enjoyable, isn’t it? Spending all day doing what you love is what you’d dreamed about before you’d started. But things aren’t adding up. You’re not actually spending all day doing what you love at the moment. Because running a small business requires you to spend time doing other ‘stuff’ too; like bookkeeping, marketing, and boring old admin. And you’re probably squeezing that in on the weekends, because it’s the only way to keep on top of it all. Is it going to be like this forever more?

It doesn’t have to be…

Have you considered a personal assistant?

Cue horror-struck look. What… employ someone?! Cue kindly chuckle. No… Not necessarily.

There are alternatives. If you’re not wanting to employ someone directly, then PA support that’s just a bit more than a virtual assistant may be the answer.

Here’s some food for thought regarding working with a YOPA-style personal assistant:

• YOPA assistants work in their own office space. You don’t have to find a place to put them. You can put a face to the voice and call in at any time as well.
• As with virtual assistants, YOPA PAs can work as many or as few hours as you need them to in a month. You don’t have to keep them busy for the sake of it.
• Only paying for the hours worked doesn’t just save you money though, it also saves you the headache of PAYE and National Insurance.
• Tedious tasks that are important but a poor use of your time can be done by someone else. Take bookkeeping, for example, you probably need a bit of training to do that well. But if you pass that over to a YOPA PA, you’re then free to spend your time doing what matters – which is earning the income.
• At YOPA we love doing the groundwork for an SME’s marketing plan. What seems like a grind to you is a piece of cake to us.
• If you are already considering taking on an assistant, but don’t know if you have enough for them to do on an ongoing basis, a YOPA PA can help you test the water.
• And last but not least, ALWAYS REMEMBER… Your success is our success. We want your business to flourish. So whether you’re just needing a virtual assistant, or someone who is there face to face sometimes too, we’re there for you.

We’re hoping by now the phrase ‘increased productivity’ has popped into your mind. Delegating the important but more mundane tasks within your business to a YOPA PA, will increase the return on your time spent significantly. And not only that, but you’ll be able to get back to doing what you love doing too.

If that sounds like the answer you’re looking for, then please do give us a ring!
