A lot of entrepreneurs who start at Headroom do not have a clear idea of the activities they could outsource to us. They are used to doing tasks themselves and often find it difficult to let things go. The first thing they usually delegate is their inbox and agenda management, but there is so much more a Headroom PA can do for you!
Organize time efficiently
Together with the entrepreneur I evaluate the week that has passed and what is ahead of him/her. What are things they spend too much time on? Is that something I can help or support them with? Or can take over the whole task, and let the entrepreneur go through it for a final check?
Activities
I always ask the entrepreneur to take a critical look at the work and tasks they are doing. Are there tasks you can hand over to your PA already? This will enable you to focus on the more important things. It can be hard for an entrepreneur to let go of certain tasks, but we guide them through the process of letting go of peripheral matters. We experience that entrepreneurs can let go easier, after these first steps have been taken. This way they can finally focus on the essential and more important tasks, instead of the peripheral matters!
Always up to date
We, as Headroom PAs, ensure that you are always informed of the work we do for you. You will receive a daily update at the end of each day. This contains an overview of all current issues going on and some questions we have. To make the most of our support and collaboration, the only thing you, as an entrepreneur, need to do is communicate well and give us feedback. It is important to regularly check Slack and give answers to the questions of your PA in time. If we have open communication we can take up and carry out tasks for you quicker and more easily. Communication is and will always be key!
