  1. A great assistant is a great project manager. My assistant can handle projects from start to finish.
  2. Trust your assistant with a ton of access. Don’t think you’ll trust a candidate with deep access? Hire someone at a higher level that you do trust.
  3. Don’t skimp on costs. It worked out when I finally hired someone great. Not cheap. There was minimal training required because of this. Carin was top notch right from the start.
  4. Schedule weekly check-in meetings with your assistant. This serves as a way to get updates, give input, and to hand off new items. Do this at least once a week so you get in the habit of delegating. I HATE meetings – but this is an exception I make. Employees should be fairly autonomous but an assistant is linked to you.
  5. A great assistant’s higher cost should be offset by their 2-3x productivity over a cheaper alternative. I would easily need to hire someone full-time with less experience to get Carin’s quality of output.
