stop doing $10/hour tasks

Let’s be real: if you're still doing $10/hour tasks, you’re not leading — you’re surviving.

And no one builds a 7-figure business from the middle of their inbox.

You didn’t start your company to be your own admin. You’re not supposed to be the one chasing paperwork, scrubbing leads, or re-confirming meetings.

But here you are.


And the real cost? It’s not just time. It’s momentum, energy, and the vision you keep putting off.


Why You MUST Stop Doing $10/hour Tasks


Let’s look at the math.

If you want to make $250,000/year, your time is worth $120/hour. That means every hour you spend doing $10/hour tasks, you're literally throwing away $110 of potential growth.

The most successful CEOs protect their focus like their life depends on it. Because it does.

But the only way to protect your time… is to delegate with purpose.

And that’s where a VA changes everything.


What You Should Delegate TodayYou don’t need to offload everything — just the right things:


✅ Inbox & Calendar Management✅ CRM Updates✅ Lead Scrubbing & Follow-Up✅ Appointment Setting✅ Market Research, Data Entry

🧠 Keep for yourself:


  • Sales strategy

  • Relationship building

  • Vision casting

  • Decision-making


Let your VA handle the rhythm so you can own the results.


Real Stories from Real Founders


One of our clients — a real estate investor — handed off cold calling and admin follow-up to a VA in her first week.

She closed two deals in 9 days. Why? Because she finally had the mental space to negotiate — not just chase.


Another client — a busy consultant — finally stopped rescheduling meetings herself and landed her biggest retainer ever the same month. Not because she got lucky… but because she showed up focused.


And that’s what we do at VA Depot. We help you stop doing $10/hour tasks and start leading again.


The Hidden Cost of Holding On


Micromanaging your calendar isn’t saving you money. It’s costing you deals.

Doing everything yourself isn’t “hustle.” It’s hesitation.

And if you’re always stuck in the weeds, you’ll never get above the tree line to see what’s next.
