What is one way you're getting over the midweek slump? Since hiring an EA, I'm finding I have more time to focus on founder business. This means I'm not so bogged down with daily tasks and have more energy by the middle and end of the week! Questions about hiring an executive assistant? Drop them below!

Saw this posted by a fellow EA and thought it's worth a share: "Being an executive assistant isn’t as simple as it might seem. It’s not just about putting someone in the role and expecting them to figure it out. Sure, with plenty of training and time, some might manage, but not everyone has the right skill set or personality for it. The role demands handling constant interruptions, determining what truly matters when everything feels urgent, and diving into tasks you've never done before just because they need to be completed. An EA needs to know a bit of everything since they’re often the go-to person for answers. Hiring an executive assistant might not seem as exciting as bringing on a marketing or sales professional, but EAs are the ones who fill the gaps. They’re force multipliers, and those with experience can start making an impact within days or weeks, rather than months."

It’s natural to feel uncertain about hiring your first virtual executive assistant, especially when you're unsure about the specifics like what to expect, how it will work, when to start, and where to begin. However, know that you’re not alone in feeling this way. It’s completely normal to have these concerns. There are steps you can take to alleviate your worries and establish a successful working relationship.

“What is an O-P-S manager? And do I need one?” someone asked me last week. The woman asking me is a self-employed esthetician. She has had her own business for 3 years now and doesn’t have any employees, nor does she plan on it soon. I briefly explained my role, as this was over text, and I shared my own perspective. If I were her and was running out of time, getting behind on purchasing, admin, and strategic planning time, while still treating clients herself; I would opt for a Personal or Executive Assistant to help buy back her time on backend tasks but still deliver the highest client care and level of service. If I were her and had 2 or more estheticians, needing to step away from day-to-day operations, no longer treating clients, and needed someone to support with recruiting, hiring, and managing the business, I’d hire an Operations Manager. What other criteria would you have to hiring an Operations Manager? I’m curious to hear from business owners. #businessoperations #leadership #sales #b2csales #b2cmarketing #peoplemanagement #recruiting #sales #salescoaching #salesmanagement #privatepractice #operations #operationsmanager #hiring #hiringnow #sandiego #chulavista #southbay #administrativeassistant #job #jobs #apply #physicaltherapy #smallbusiness #smalltomediumbusiness #scale #scaling

Hiring an Executive Assistant can significantly enhance your productivity and efficiency, allowing you to focus on high-priority tasks and strategic decision-making. An Executive Assistant takes on administrative duties, manages your schedule, handles communications, and ensures that your day-to-day operations run smoothly. This support not only saves you time but also allows you to concentrate on the core aspects of your role that drive business growth and success.
