Turning Delegated Tasks into Thriving Partnerships with Freedom Makers Virtual Services

For small business owners and solopreneurs, achieving business goals year after year often requires balancing strategic vision with the daily demands of running a company. Many of our Freedom Makers Virtual Services' clients have discovered that a strong partnership with their virtual assistant is a game-changer, allowing them to reclaim their time and energy and focus on what matters most. 

By investing in a relationship with their Freedom Maker, they have successfully turned routine delegation of tasks into true partnerships that are helping drive business success.

From Delegation to Partnership Through Trust

The journey starts with clear goal setting.

Our clients who take the time to define their business goals and align them with how they plan to use their Freedom Maker are the ones who see the most significant returns. For instance, clients in the coaching and consulting industries often start by delegating administrative tasks like email management, scheduling, and CRM updates​​. 

However, with consistent communication and relationship building, Freedom Maker virtual assistants can evolve into trusted collaborators who can manage client-facing projects, develop workflows, and introduce new tools to the business.

One long-time client, Kristi, shared how her Freedom Maker became her "go-to" resource - even among some internal team members - for high-priority tasks. By exploring additional ways her Freedom Maker could contribute to her team, Kristi has embraced a transition from task delegation to true partnership. Kristi now trusts her Freedom Maker with some strategic decisions like maintaining brand consistency​​.

And, because Freedom Maker virtual assistants come from diverse professional backgrounds, each has experience working in multiple industries and on various platforms​. The reach of this type of knowledge can be invaluable for a busy solopreneur, handling all the ins and outs of their business operations. A collaborative spirit (built on trust) helps our business owner clients to innovate and scale without being bogged down by operational details​. 

For example, a restaurant owner client initially engaged a Freedom Maker to handle social media content creation. Over time, their role expanded to include customer engagement strategies and promotional campaign planning​​.

By leveraging the assistance of a Freedom Maker, our clients can often free up valuable time and energy to invest in new areas for business growth. Another client reported that delegating tasks like grant writing and event coordination freed up their schedule and allowed them to focus on scaling a new coaching program​.

Tools, Trust, and Transformation

The secret to growing a relationship with a Freedom Maker virtual assistant into a thriving partnership lies in clarity and communication.

At Freedom Makers Virtual Services, our Success Managers emphasize the 4Cs of delegation - Clarity, Constraints, Coaching, and Communication​​. These principles ensure each Freedom Maker understands both the "how" and "why" of their tasks. If a small business owner allows their Freedom Maker to understand their greater goals and long-term vision, the Freedom Maker can better align their task completion with the impact it can have. 

Tools play a pivotal role in this transformation. Platforms like Asana, Trello, and Monday.com streamline task management and allow a shared visibility into projects, keeping both the client and Freedom Maker aligned. Communication tools like Slack and Zoom strengthen collaboration and create opportunities for real-time updates, fostering trust and transparency in the partnership​​.

One of the Freedom Makers within our community reported how helping her client manage her LinkedIn engagement helped her achieve some of her business growth goals. Through goal setting, meeting regularly, and robust task tracking, Sandra helped her client remain consistent and top of mind on her social media platforms. Through strategic posts and engagement, she amplified her client's professional presence with financial services professionals and connected her with potential partners, clients, and collaborators.

This type of strong relationship starts with identifying the right tasks to delegate. For instance, the FMVS Task Audit Tool allows small business owners to assess and identify the tasks they are doing that don't contribute directly to their goals. Having that insight and sharing it with their Freedom Maker at the beginning of the relationship can not only reduce stress but also open opportunities for automation or process improvements.

Even if the business owner starts small, only handing off a task or two early on, the framework for collaboration is set. 

A Collaborative Future

The power of a Freedom Maker virtual assistant lies not just in what they do for businesses but in how they do it.

By introducing new efficiencies, a Freedom Maker can help their client achieve their goals and reach milestones - whether they are small or ambitious ones.

Freedom Makers are proactive, with skillsets bolstered by tools like Asana, Monday.com, and Trello, to keep tasks on track and build trust. They are reliable and committed to delivering results that align with your business goals. They can integrate into your operations and provide the type of support that goes beyond task execution to include process improvements, workflow optimization, and problem solving.

Whether it's maintaining a professional online presence, managing customer relationships, or refining internal systems, Freedom Makers have experience and adaptability to support your business. By working IN your business, they help you have the time and energy to work ON your business.

A trusted Freedom Maker can become an extension of your team, bringing a fresh perspective and often introducing you to new strategies and tools you hadn't considered. 

If you're already working with a Freedom Maker, consider deepening your partnership by utilizing our new Assignment Task Audit tool, or speaking directly with your Freedom Maker about what else you may accomplish together. And if you're thinking about bringing a Freedom Maker into your business, know that you're not just getting task support - you're gaining a potential partner who will be 100% invested in your success.
