Create a virtual professional budget where people are given $100 a month to employ an assistant through one of these channels. If you don't need someone regularly, use a platform like Fiverr* or Upwork for one-off projects where your team can hire them as needed. Think about it. Do you want to be paying your director $70,000 or $170,000 a year to be doing work you could be paying someone $10, $20, or $30 an hour for? Take a list of all the tasks from leadership, find a common theme and hire someone to take on the top three tasks among your leaders. And by the way, beneath paygrade doesn't mean you think you're too good to transcribe or format or do research. He's to ask each leader to list three to five tasks that they don't like doing, feel are beneath their pay grade or are not in their line of genius. I've encouraged him to hire someone for the company leadership instead. He is very humble and feels weird about having an assistant, and isn't sure how he would use them. I'm also coaching the CEO of a 23-person company. He uses those extra three hours to make more client calls, which equals more money for the company, or he closes down early on Fridays. He figures it saves him about three hours a week, which is way more than the $30 he spends. They're organizing his content and making it look stellar. They edit all the audio and video that he sends out to his clients and format spreadsheets. I know a supervisor who's been using someone from Columbia for two years to create all of his slide presentations up until the final edits. And… You're giving someone else a job. The client is getting the work they're hiring you for, and you're basically managing a project.
It shouldn't matter how you get there as long as you aren't giving away trade secrets or handing anything over confidential. creating and sending appreciation cardsĪs an independent contractor, you could take on a job for $75 an hour, pay someone in Kenya $9 an hour, which is a respectable wage and give them a few tasks.
I'm not advocating for you to have an assistant that reads your email or has access to confidential documents. You can be a W-2 employee and hire an assistant. Would you rather listen instead?
