You should hire a VA because there is only one business success element you cannot get more of, and that is your time. If your business depends on your time for fuel, it will soon run out of steam. Success requires the help of others.

Your VA has many skills that you don't (and shouldn't take time to learn.) Plus it's really terrific to be able to turn something over to your VA and have it completed while you're working on other things. You're essentially doubling your output.
