The True Cost of DIY: Why Doing Your Own Admin Work Is Bleeding Your Profits

Picture of Rio Gonzales

Think doing your own admin work is saving you money? Think again. Every hour you spend managing non-core tasks—like scheduling, responding to emails, or handling data entry—is an hour you're not investing in what truly matters: growing your business and increasing revenue.

Let’s break it down. If your expertise is worth $100 per hour, but you’re spending those hours on $15-an-hour admin tasks, you’re losing out on $85 every single time. And those losses add up fast.

The Real Impact of Doing It All Yourself

Here’s what you’re sacrificing by taking on tasks that should be delegated:

  1. Lost Revenue: Every minute spent on admin work is a minute you’re not closing deals, meeting clients, or developing new products. Calculate how much revenue you could generate if you focused on your high-value work instead.
  2. Burnout: Balancing core responsibilities with admin work doesn’t just drain your energy; it hurts your productivity and creativity. Burnout isn’t just bad for you—it’s bad for your business.
  3. Stunted Growth: Your business can’t scale if you’re bogged down by tasks someone else could handle. If you want to grow, you need to spend your time strategically.

Why Hiring Help is a Smart Investment

Outsourcing admin tasks to a skilled Virtual Assistant (VA) may seem like an expense, but it’s actually an investment that pays off. By freeing up your time, you can focus on the activities that truly drive revenue and growth. Plus, VAs are often more efficient at these tasks, which means things get done faster and better.
