4 Days with My New Executive Assistant – The Game-Changing Impact

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, drowning in emails, texts, and endless admin, you’ll know how much it can hold you back from the work that really matters. After just four days with my new executive assistant, I can honestly say it’s been nothing short of transformational for me and my businesses.

Let’s rewind. Over the years, I’ve worked with several assistants, but this time I approached things differently: I fully let go. Maybe it was because my new EA has worked alongside me for years, so the trust was already there. The transition was seamless, and handing over my inbound communications, calendar, and all the “busywork” wasn’t as daunting as I’d always imagined. Instantly, all emails, WhatsApp, texts, social messages, and even post were handed over, along with complete control of my schedule.

I know what you’re thinking – “but there’s so much personal stuff in there!” I get it. But here’s the truth: when you’re constantly bogged down by reactive tasks, you never get to the proactive, high-impact work. That’s where the magic of delegation comes in. My mantra is: buy back your time. And hiring an executive assistant is one of the most powerful ways to do it.

Thanks to my automated AI-powered SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) creation system, passing on tasks was easy. Whenever I needed to delegate a repetitive job, I simply recorded a quick 2-3 minute video, which then became a step-by-step guide in our system. No hours lost to long manuals or instructions. Just quick, streamlined handovers.

The real shocker? In just four days, I’ve shifted about 60% – yes, 60%! – of my workload onto my EA. Tasks are getting done faster. She’s even got an assistant herself, pushing the lower-level admin down the line and multiplying output across the board.

Now, I’m able to focus entirely on the projects that move the needle – the things that excite me and actually grow the business. It’s not just about getting time back, it’s about removing the weight of “should-dos” and finally working on the “want-to-dos.”

If you’re busy and feeling overwhelmed, hiring an executive assistant (and making use of automation for fast onboarding) could change everything for you, too. Don’t expect results overnight if you don’t have all the systems I do, but progress will come. Provide regular feedback, be willing to let go, and remember: if someone can do a task 80% as well as you, that’s a huge win. With time, they’ll probably do it even better.

My advice? Embrace delegation. Tweak and iterate your systems. The freedom – and business growth – is incredible.

If you’ve got any questions about the process, drop me a line. And if you believe in our mission to save children’s lives by supporting my ultra-marathon run vlogging challenge, don’t forget to subscribe, share, and comment. Every bit of support makes a difference!
