I have a small business that really struggles when I am away. I have talked with several small business owners in my social circles and they say the same thing. It has been something that has bothered me for a few years now and I am open to any and all advice on how to get more out of my very good employees when the “boss is gone”.

I run my own business as a Virtual Assistant….so kind of odd that Noobpreneur posted he might need one. Feel free to contact me:) Funny. I am currently looking for other ways to bring income in addition to my VA work to free up some time and to look away from the computer. Maybe I need a VA:) Just kidding.

Vera,

Several businesses I run does go without the need of me present physically.

However, your post does remind me to take care my other businesses that drain physically and mentally. I am getting a great help from my wife as my personal assistant – but we are expecting, so I guess I need to hire a (virtual) assistant more sooner than later.

‘Hope for the best health for your daughter, Vera.

Cheers!

Vera, you have inspired me to get serious about planning for my business. I have so many things I want to accomplish, but they end up sitting on the back burner cause I never get around to them.

Hope you sweet daughter is well again

It’s always hard for a sole proprieretor to designate work to others, once we get over that and let go of the small stuff, we free up our time for far more valuable projects.The balance of course is not to allow someone to much responsibility, and lose hands on knowing what’s going around you. I’ve known people who haven’t taken holidays for twenty years, life is too short for that. They usually say they are building something. I agree, however that’s to high a price for me. I would not want to be that controlling. Delegate, Delegate, Delegate!
