Is it Time to Hire a Personal Assistant?

Your phone is a landmine. The little red notification indicating your unread emails is at an all-time high, your voicemail has been full for a week, and you keep deleting that appointment from your calendar that you can’t quite ever make time for. On top of that, you’ve got a running list of birthday gifts to buy, a vacation to book, and errands to run. So much of your time is consumed by the minutiae of your day-to-day, it’s rare that you have time to work on the big stuff, and even more rare that you have the energy to do it well. 

At this point, you have two choices: continue to burn yourself out trying to keep it all together and look good while doing it, or ask for help. The answer seems pretty obvious, doesn’t it? Investing in a personal assistant is a major step in the right direction--not only are you organizing your business and responsibilities, you’re also prioritizing your mental health and enjoyment of life!

What do personal assistants do?

A personal assistant is your around-the-clock right hand person. Personal assistants aid with the most important areas of your life depending on your specific needs. Their responsibilities include screening phone calls, answering emails, scheduling appointments, managing your calendar, booking travel, and running errands. Personal assistants are highly organized and responsible individuals, and their specific tasks can be tailored to your specific needs. 

Why should I hire a personal assistant?

The important thing to remember is that hiring help is not an admission of “I can’t.” It’s a step forward in recognizing that hiring help is one of the best ways to invest in yourself and in your future success. Learning to delegate the small tasks that eat up your time and energy is crucial in developing a more focused and intentional approach to life. Look at a personal assistant as someone you can count on to keep things running on time while you focus on your big picture goals. They’ll keep your head above water and prevent you from becoming bogged down, always late, and low on energy.
