Why you should hire a personal assistant
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.

On the off chance you still respond to comments?
So did you go with an individual virtual assistant or a specific company?
