Help Wanted...Admin needed NOW!!!


How many times have you said to yourself as a small business owner - “I wish I had someone to keep me organized!”   We see this a lot when people come in to talk with us about membership with BizWorks.   It’s amazing to us how many opportunities small business owners miss out on by not hiring an administrative person sooner.  We see people who have lots of business opportunities but they don’t have anyone who helps keep things in order and organize the business owner’s days.  Even the most efficient of us need help when we get overloaded. 

We try to encourage people to look at their budget and think about hiring someone on a part-time basis to see how much time they could be saving for use on their actual clients.  When you spend all your time writing proposals, playing phone tag and trying to keep your calendar straight, you’ll see how a part time admin person could pay for themselves.  There are tasks that you don’t have to handle- tasks that can go to that person so you can concentrate on billable hours at your professional rate.  Sit down and figure out what you are spending on tasks that an admin person could do for you and decide if it’s worth hiring someone so you can focus on your clients and getting the job done.
