Where do you do your best thinking? It’s somewhere quiet, right? You can actually focus and think about the big picture for your business — no emails demanding responses, no fires to put out, just pure strategic thinking time. 

Sounds good, doesn’t it? But for many business owners, these moments of clarity are rare treasures buried under an avalanche of daily tasks. I hear this constantly from other business owners. They’re so caught up in the doing that they can’t step back and see where they’re going.  

They know they need to think about market expansion, service improvements, team development, and operational efficiency. They have brilliant ideas percolating. But those thoughts get pushed aside by payroll deadlines, client emergencies, and endless administrative duties. The most energizing part of business ownership — that high-level strategic thinking that could truly move the needle — keeps getting postponed until “things calm down.” (Spoiler alert: things never calm down on their own.) 

Dreaming Big but Stuck in the Day-to-Day Grind? 

Let’s get specific for a moment. Take a hard look at your typical day. What’s eating your strategic thinking time? For many business owners I talk with, it’s often three major time-devourers. 

First, there’s the endless email barrage. You start each morning determined to tackle big projects, but your inbox has other plans. Hours vanish into responding, forwarding, filing, and following up.  

Then there’s the constant schedule juggling. You’re coordinating team meetings, client appointments, and project deadlines. You’re the hub of communication, the keeper of the calendar, the human switchboard connecting all the dots. Every interruption to check availability or shift a meeting time breaks your strategic focus. 

And then there’s report generation and data management. Whether it’s pulling together performance metrics, updating client records, or preparing presentations, these essential but time-intensive tasks pile up. You know this information matters — it should be informing your strategic decisions — but assembling it consumes the time you need to analyze it. 

Maybe it’s time for some “spring cleaning” of your schedule. What if you could clear away the administrative clutter blocking your view of the bigger picture? Imagine having dedicated hours each week for the kind of deep thinking that got you excited about business ownership in the first place. 

Ready to Rev Up Your Business with Streamlined Processes? 

HireSmart Virtual Employees helps business owners get their time back. That’s our specialty. You tell us what’s eating up your day, and we find employees specifically suited to take those tasks off your hands.  

Consider how one property management leader transformed their workload with the help of a HireSmart VE.  

“She knows the buildings so well that she often responds to issues on her own and knows exactly who to call for any issues that may arise. It really helps alleviate my heavy workload. I consider her my ‘co-manager’ rather than my assistant.” 

Many business owners recognize the potential of global hiring to solve their staffing challenges. But going it alone means navigating international labor laws, managing overseas payments, and hoping your new hire sticks around.  

That’s why we’ve built something different at HireSmart. We invest deeply in our Filipino virtual employees so they’ll invest deeply in you. We provide them with health and dental coverage. We offer educational scholarships for their children through our nonprofit, HireSmart Cares. When Typhoon Rai hit the Philippines in 2021, we provided financial assistance to affected team members, helping with everything from generator purchases to temporary housing. 

This investment creates remarkable stability and dedication. As one client shared: “She is one of a kind! She always puts the customer first, exceeds any expectations laid out for her, and is an integral part of our team.” Another noted: “Every day she greets everyone with care, makes sure everyone is taken care of, and ends the day with well wishes.” 

A Tale of Better Staffing; How to Write It For Yourself 

We handle all the complexities so you don’t have to. We ensure complete compliance with local labor laws. Your virtual employee works solely for you, with no moonlighting allowed, supported by our comprehensive training and ongoing development programs. 

Think about what you could do with that reclaimed time. Market expansion strategies wouldn’t stay trapped in your mind during endless email responses. New service offerings wouldn’t remain half-developed while you juggle schedules. Team development programs wouldn’t sit in draft form while you generate reports. The strategic work that energizes you — the thinking that could transform your business — would finally get the attention it deserves. 

Finding great talent globally isn’t just about hiring someone overseas. It’s about creating the right environment for success, building strong relationships, and providing the support needed for long-term commitment. 

That’s why we only accept 1% of Filipino applicants who apply. It’s why we put each candidate through extensive screening, including written and essential math skills testing, thorough verbal communication assessment, and FBI-level background checks. It’s why we require our virtual employees to respond within two minutes to any inquiry. And it’s why we provide 40 hours of intensive training with my team before placement.
