OfflineI recently read an article about how having a personal assistant can be a game-changer, by giving you more time to focus on other aspects of your REI business, or just have time to yourself. Anyone have experience working with a personal assistant, and if so, what type of jobs have you had them do? I'm thinking mostly mail out ads and flyers, do errands to pick up supplies, receive calls/emails. Any advice is appreciated.

If you can afford it, it's soooo worth it. When I was managing and working my own salon business, I had one full time assistant and two part time assistants. They did all the little things I didn't care to do. Mailing bills, writing checks, talking to sales people or other people I didn't want to talk to at the time. They ran errands, picked up packages, made my appointments, made phone calls on my behalf, helping me set up for meetings and functions, etc.
I haven't used an assistant for a couple years now and I so miss having them. When I get my real estate biz off the ground, I'm getting assistants for sure. Train them how you want to do things. That'll free you up to the the more important stuff. The way I look at it, why waste my valuable time with those little things, its cheaper, to me, to pay someone than do them myself.
Cheers,
