<h1>Virtual Assistant vs Hiring An Employee</h1>
<p>An entrepreneur or small business owner who attempts to be a “One-Man Show”, who continually works IN their business not ON their business, is essentially losing around 50% in lost revenue due to unproductive time management.  The more time the business owner can work ON their business, focusing on activities that bring revenue (such as networking, marketing, planning, and delivering) the faster their business will flourish and they will profit.  Enter: <a title="Real Estate Virtual Assistant" href="http://www.vawork.com/blog/2009/10/07/real-estate-virtual-assistant-suzanne-roy/" target="_self"><strong>Virtual Assistant</strong></a>.</p>

<h2>Virtual Assistants</h2>
<p>are less expensive than employees and often offer specialized skills.  At an average of $35 per hour, you may be wondering how an employee could possibly be more expensive.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of what an employee may cost you versus a <em>Virtual Assistant</em>:</p>
