As a business owner, your time is your most valuable asset. Yet many owners get bogged down doing admin tasks that can — and should — be delegated.
Here are five admin tasks to stop doing:
Invoicing and chasing payments – This is time-consuming and emotionally draining. A professional can ensure invoices are timely and follow up professionally.
Data entry – Inputting information into spreadsheets or systems is low-value work that distracts from bigger priorities.
Email management – Sorting, responding and organising emails takes hours each week. A trained admin can triage and manage your inbox.
Filing and record keeping – Digitising and organising files is essential but shouldn't fall on your shoulders.
Scheduling – Let someone else handle your calendar and coordinate meetings, so you can focus on doing the work.
Outsourcing these tasks gives you back hours each week to focus on growing your business, building client relationships, and making strategic decisions.
