Hiring Your First Staff Member – Start with an Executive Assistant
I know exactly how it feels to wear all the hats in your firm. I was answering emails, scheduling calls, managing clients, and trying to grow the business—all at once. It’s exhausting. The first real shift came when I hired my Executive Assistant. At first, it was scary to let go, but here’s the truth: - ✅ They took over my inbox and calendar so I could breathe again. - ✅ They became my gatekeeper, protecting my time and focus. - ✅ Eventually, I trusted them enough to tell ME what to do, so I stayed focused on CEO-level work. Here’s what gave me peace of mind: I was making between $100–$150/hour, and I could pay my EA $20–$25/hour. That math made sense—I knew it would work. 👉 If you’re still doing everything, start thinking about the moment you can bring someone in. It doesn’t just free up time—it frees you to lead. 💡 Action for You:If you hired an EA today, what’s the first task you’d hand off—your inbox, your calendar, or something else? Drop it below ⬇️
