Congratulations! You have decided to become an entrepreneur. It is a big step and if you are unfamiliar with the process, it can be very daunting. We are going to look at the steps of starting a business, but these guidelines can apply to any other field. Making sure you have cleared these hurdles will help you plan, prepare, and manage your business more effectively.
**Game Plan**
If you are serious about starting a business you have to have a plan, specifically a business plan. Even if you don't need outside funding to get going, you will want to have a plan to get your focus on what your business is and know what you are really going after. Your business plan should have an executive summary, a business description, a market analysis, a competitor analysis, a design plan, a management plan, and a financial summary. Your game plan is your focus. This is your map and directions to achieve your dream.
**Legal**
Every business requires legal paperwork to get started and legal considerations in operations. A carries an even heavier burden when it comes to privacy, security, copyright, and taxation. There are many things you must do before you can ever even call yourself a business and this can vary depending on where you live, so make sure you are paying attention to the details and get everything you need. Here is a quick list of the type of legal documentation that must be in place. This is not exhaustive by any means make sure you check with your local governments about all requirements.
* Register your business name with the local state government.
* Register for state and local taxes, including getting a tax identification number if necessary.
* Apply for your business license and any permits needed in your location.
**Your First Client**
* **Pricing structure:**
* **Hours:** If you ask any entrepreneur, they work all the time! And so will you. Your unbillable hours will likely be more than your billable hours as you get your business going. But even though you are up working until midnight, you don't want clients contacting you at all hours. Set a schedule where you will be available to your clients and make them respect that.
* **Account and business management:** For your own sanity, you will want to set up some form of business management software. Use something to take care of the business end of things, accounting and bookkeeping, but you should also implement something that will be your project manager. This will help you track hours, due dates, and statuses of all your projects. You don't want to let anything slip through the cracks.
* **Legal contract:** You need something to help protect you. You need to have your contracted hours, tasks, wages, and length of contract described and include subjects such as copyright, privacy, time off, payment options, etc. This would be something good to have a lawyer look over, as you will want to implement it with every client.
* **Get to know you:** As a virtual assistant it is harder to get to know you clients. You are not working with them daily or face-to-face. You will also work with many businesses that may not be in a field that you are familiar with. Make a questionnaire that you can have clients fill out about themselves and their business to help you understand them and their goals to better help their business.
Make sure you do your research. You don't want to just jump in over your head. If you have everything lined out early, you will have less headache and stress down the road. After you clear the planning, legal, and your first client hurdle, you will have the confidence you need to make your virtual assistant business a roaring success.
As a leader and entrepreneur, you will find one of the biggest challenges to be delegating tasks. In 2013, Stanford University conducted a survey which exposed the fact that 37% of chief executives struggle and are working to improve on delegation skills. Outlined are five disadvantages that might be keeping you from reaching your delegation goals. To overcome these barriers, we must first identify them.
- It Takes Time & Mentoring
We all know that time is money, and we are always looking for ways to save time and be more efficient in what we do. Those voices in your head are telling you that you don't have the time to adequately explain or teach the skills for the task at hand to your team member. The good news is, delegating task *actually .* It might take holding their hand and teaching them all the nitty gritty at first, but once they have it down, that is one less task on your plate in which you can focus your efforts on more important business goals.
- Loss of Control
Admit it, we can all be a bit of a control freak at times. Many business owners have a long history of making things happen with their own skill and determination. Even though business owners think they can do the task better, your business will not be successful if there's a leader micromanaging everything. A way to overcome this is by providing planned accountability amongst your team members, which will calm your anxiety. Besides, you may find out that one of your team members discovers a new, more efficient method of completing the task at hand!
- Delegating Yourself Out of a Job or Losing Tasks You Enjoy
Another barrier business owners may come across is the fear that you are going to train yourself out of a job. Or maybe there's a reoccurring task that you enjoy but you offloaded it to a team member. This is a *great* problem to have! Now that you have less on your plate you can move to a higher position, take on more challenging tasks, or focus on those business development plans you never had the time for. You will also be rewarded by seeing others succeed because of your coaching.
- Lack of Confidence/Faith in Your Team
Leaders may be hesitant to delegate tasks because they don't have confidence or faith in their team members. It's okay to feel this way, but it's something you must overcome for successful delegation. Start small, take small risks and set your team up for success. Successes early on will give you the courage to more and more in which you can gradually increase the complexity of tasks assigned. Be sure to thoroughly prep your team because the more prepared they are, the less worried you will be! Additionally, your team may lack the confidence in themselves, or they are worried they won't do well. By starting small together, you can inspire confidence and trust side by side.
- Asking for Help is a Sign of Weakness
Asking for help sucks, and you might feel like it's a sign of weakness, when really it is a sign of strength and trust. We are only human, and we can't do everything by ourselves. Often it is fear that fuels this anxiety: Fear of over-stepping. Fear of appearing too needy. Fear of imposing. Fear of revealing our struggle and having people realize we don't have it all together after all. When we support other people to be more
*must* be done by you, and only you. Be sure to communicate with your team the objectives and goals of each task so they know what is expected of them and how it fits in with the larger picture. Be sure to set deadlines and milestones and/or the frequency of checking up on their work. Be open with communication and make sure that your team understands they can turn to you and that it is ok to ask questions and further guidance.
Have some tasks you need to delegate-!
