As property developers and investors, our ultimate end-goal is to build a business that we can reap the benefits from in the future, right? But in order to get there, we need to be asking for expert help and delegating out the tasks that we don't need to be doing.

In this industry in particular, you'll find that this help usually comes in the form of property-relevant Virtual Assistants, just like our resident VA and latest Masterclass host Jane Scroggs from Beam!

We recently spoke live to Jane, all about what's involved with working with a virtual team, what tasks they can support you with, why it's beneficial to your business and lifestyle, and so on. We wanted to talk on the topic because property developers are often completely unaware of the services available to them, and how they can scale their business whilst simultaneously taking a step back.

As female business-owners in particular, we often have the tendency to think that we can do it all and that we have to be involved with all parts of the business – but we don't have to be, and in order to scale we shouldn't be! It's absolutely okay that we're not experts in all areas of our property businesses, and it's okay not to enjoy all of the admin and 'boring' bits of the job!

Now you might be thinking it, but hiring a VA doesn’t just have to mean cost, cost, cost! Whilst there are undoubtedly fees involved with getting support for your business, it's important to try to think instead about all the ways that you’ll SAVE – in time and sanity.

Because running and growing a property business shouldn’t mean high stress levels, working weekends and evenings, 24/7 WhatsApp communications with tenants, juggling everything from budgets to insurance checks, and wasting valuable time on the things you don’t even enjoy.

It's so easy to get swallowed up in the busy-ness of a business, so it’s absolutely crucial that you change your mindset and business practices to be PROACTIVE rather than reactive.
