Virtual Assistant

I am a life coach, trainer, and writer who is starting to take on more items and responsibilities within my company of one.  I work with clients over zoom; I write a blog several times a week.  I do write articles.  I am now starting to develop evergreen courses and have been writing books.  I am getting busier all the time.

I have been told that I should get a virtual assistant.  My problem is that I am not sure what a virtual assistant can do for me.  I am just starting to make money, and things are a little tight right now.  Yet, if I could understand how a virtual assistant could help, I would be interested in sharing the load.

I was told that virtual assistants can do a lot of the writing (blogs, letters, and books.)  Yet, I write my own stuff and am not really looking for a ghostwriter.  I am not sure exactly how I would find a virtual assistant to help me.

If you use a virtual assistant, could you please share what they do for you, and is it genuinely worth having one?  If you are a virtual assistant looking for a client, please write me and tell me how you could help me.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
