When is the right time to hire an executive assistant and how do you know if you can actually afford one?
In this episode of Jereshia Said, I’m walking you through how I decided when to hire an executive assistant so that you can use this process to make a decision for yourself. There’s more to consider than just feeling like you need help. For starters, do you know exactly what it is you need help with? If not, you’re going to need to figure that out first. Do you know what your budget is? Do you know what tasks you want to delegate vs. keep on your own plate? These are all questions that I’m going to help you answer before you decide whether or not to hire an executive assistant for your online coaching business.
