What is Stopping You From Hiring an Assistant Today?

Published April 18, 2019, by Bonnie Schutz, PACE - TRS CEO

It is Administrative Professionals month this month, so what better time to ask yourself this question. What is stopping you from hiring an assistant today? Too busy? Don't believe in your ability to delegate? Cost? Don't let these roadblocks stop you. You have so many options when it comes to hiring an assistant and, I'm a little biased, but they are so very much worth the investment of time and money!


Here's the sales-y part (I'll keep it to one little paragraph). My company, Tandem Resource Solutions (TRS) is your one-stop "assistant" shop. We make it easy to determine the type of assistant you need and easy to find them and get your partnership started. We recruit for any and all administrative positions for your in-office needs, and we have a team of 20+ virtual assistants ready to help meet your needs and exceed your goals. If you have no idea how you'd use an assistant and how it would help you or your business, let's have a discovery call! Just send me a message and we'll grab some coffee or a have a quick chat on the phone. I am certain I can answer your questions and speak to your concerns with ease.

I could not be a bigger advocate for "assistants". I have walked and talked their language for close to 30 years now. (Wow! Didn't realize how old I was until I typed that sentence! Ugh). Assisting others administratively has been such a fulfilling career for me. So much so that I started a company to further employ them, excel their careers and coach/educate them. Not to mention teach entrepreneurs/CEO's/small business owners, the true art of delegation

When you hire an assistant, be it a receptionist or administrative assistant for your team, or an executive assistant for yourself (and possibly your other exec's), or a virtual assistant to help you with your business remotely, you will immediately see their value and the value of your decision. All the minutiae and administrative tasks that seemingly take up the majority of your day will be taken off your plate and you'll suddenly feel a tremendous weight lifted from your shoulders!

            overwhelmed with administrative tasks, which were affecting my productivity as a business owner." ~ Justin Kerr (graphic designer)


Hire an assistant today! You will not regret it. The multitude of problems that'll be solved and challenges that'll be conquered will be all you'll need to convince yourself it was worth it. If you are fortunate enough to already have an assistant (AA, EA, VA), help me spread the word this month, and especially on April 24th. Celebrate them! They are the unsung heroes of the office or virtual office that are so deserving of some recognition! The 24th is Administrative Professionals Day. If you need any ideas of what to get them or how to celebrate them, message me. I have loads! Bottom line. What are you waiting for? You can't do it all yourself; get some help.
