Why you should hire a personal assistant

by Andrew

Day to day tasks add up quick.

I’ve always said only do something if it makes you money or you really want to do. With a few exceptions, you should pay someone else to do everything else.

After a year of putting it off I finally hired a personal assistant a few months ago. Not having one has probably cost me a good six figures or more worth of income primarily in the form of bullshit breaking my work focus.

How much does it suck writing a to do lists? The other day I made one up before going to sleep, and when I got up 8 hours later everything was done (ok, ok, I wake up at noon and I wrote the list at 4 am.)

If you don’t have one yet, get one. Make a posting on craigslist offering generous payment terms and find a qualified college student without another job. You should have no trouble finding a smart employee with very flexible work hours.

My theory on the best investment ever has been proven correct once again.
