Free Playbook

Not a full time salary. Not a giant leap.

Most owners picture their first hire as a huge risky step, so they never take it. In reality it can start with a part time assistant handling your inbox and your calendar a few hours a week. But you need to know what to hand off, in what order, and how to train them once so you are not managing every task twice. That is exactly what the EA Playbook covers.

  • The audit that shows what to hand off first, and in what order
  • Where to find the right person, and what a realistic part time start looks like
  • What to pay and how to structure it so it is not a full time salary
  • How to train them once so the work does not bounce back to you
  • The first thirty days, week by week

Questions

Can I afford an assistant?

Write down what an hour of your work is worth, then count the hours you spent in your inbox this week. The playbook walks through that math before it talks about money, because the answer is usually yes and at fewer hours than you assumed.

Do I have to hire full time?

No. The whole premise is a part time start, a few hours a week, on the two or three things eating the most of your week.

What if I hand work off and it comes back worse?

That is what the training section is for. Handing work over once, properly, is the difference between delegation and just moving the task around.

What should I hand off first?

The audit answers it for your specific week rather than guessing. For most owners it is the inbox and the calendar.
