Delegating is hard. Running a one-person business is like being the ringmaster of your own circus – exhilarating but also a bit overwhelming. I’ve learned that the key to thriving as a solo entrepreneur is not doing it alone but smart delegation. In this blog post, I’ll spill the beans on how I’ve embraced the one-team business model, roping in the help of virtual assistants (VAs) from Trusty Oak and tapping into the magic of AI to keep my entrepreneurial circus running smoothly.
The Solo Hustle Struggle
Let’s face it – when you’re a lone wolf in business, the to-do list is never-ending. You’re the CEO, the intern, the IT guy – you name it. It’s thrilling, but it can also be exhausting. That’s where the need for a helping hand comes into play.
A Trusty Sidekick for Delegating: My Virtual Assistant
The Lowdown on Trusty Oak and VAs
So, I stumbled upon Trusty Oak and their virtual assistants, and it’s been a game-changer. VAs don’t just help you with the day-to-day grind; they’re your partners in crime, handling everything from scheduling to project management.
- Budget-Friendly Buddy: Trusty Oak doesn’t break the bank. I get the support I need without sacrificing my coffee budget – a win-win.
- Growing Pains? No Problem: My virtual team grows with me as my business grows. There is no need to panic about onboarding new staff; I just adjust the required hours or skills.
- Hello, Free Time: Delegating the nitty-gritty tasks means I get more time to do what I love – steering the ship and making the big decisions.

Navigating the Tech Jungle
But it’s not just about humans; technology’s got my back, too. Here are two tools I use regularly to lighten my workload:
- Zapier: Automation tools like Zapier are my trusty assistants for automating repetitive tasks and integrating systems that wouldn’t normally connect.
- AI: AI-powered tools like Chat GPT and CopyAI help make writing messaging, brainstorming, and batching content a breeze.
Finding the Sweet Spot
While I love having virtual and AI support, I’ve learned it’s all about balance. Some things need a personal touch and a human brain – the kind that gets jokes and can think outside the box.
In the end, being a one-person business doesn’t mean going solo. You can turn your one-person circus into a well-oiled machine with the right mix of virtual assistance and tech wizardry. Delegating isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a superpower that lets you achieve more than you ever thought possible.
