  • Follow best practices for security
  • Extend the right amount of trust

New to delegation and want to get it right?

Working with a virtual assistant can be a game-changer — helping you save time, avoid burnout, and grow your business. But the success of your partnership is tied to your ability to delegate, and most of us don’t get the chance to practice delegating until it’s the only option.

It’s hard to be an effective leader without training or practice

Leading someone else when you’re not prepared doesn’t set anyone up for success. Poor delegation reduces the return on your partnership, causes more stress than you had to begin with, and robs you of even more time in the long run.

1

Failing to communicate your expectations makes it impossible for a virtual assistant to meet them.

2

Not giving critical feedback turns into redoing a task yourself, and wasting double the time.

3

Holding on to the wrong tasks because “I do them best” negates the benefit of working with a VA.

Fire Yourself trains you to
delegate well

Effective delegation isn’t meant to be effortless, but the hard work is more than worth it. Investing your time upfront into building your leadership skills multiplies the return on your time down the line.
