Found! An extra 5 - 6 hours every day

"It is estimated that the average small business owner spends upwards of 60% of their time performing administrative responsibilities. Outsourcing these administrative tasks to an expert, a Virtual Assistant, is the solution for many."

As a small business owner, thinking that I spent 60% of my time on ANY one thing frightens me.

I'm assuming that the author of this press release, Shannon Abbott of The Virtual Vantage, is referring only to my working hours... At least I hope so!

With approximately 8 - 10 hours in an average business day that means 5 - 6 hours are spent on administrative responsibilities... routine tasks that could easily be taught to someone else. And that means that those 5 - 6 hours could be spent on something much more productive, like finishing work for a client, finding the next client, or even spending time with the family. :)

With services including, as Shannon's do, word processing, information management, editorial services, accounting tasks, desktop publishing, and even making travel arrangements, the convenience a virtual assistant provides is almost impossible to ignore.

If you're a small business owner who hasn't yet considered hiring a virtual assistant, why not?

And if you're a virtual assistant, be encouraged to know your work is valuable. You really can add more hours to a day!
