The Secret To Getting A Great Assistant with Tim Francis

Tim Francis is the Founder of Great Assistant, a done-for-you service that helps entrepreneurs get a great assistant.For years, Tim had a stubborn attitude that he could work 80 hours per week and do everything on his own. All that changed when a sudden stress-induced case of Erythema Nodosum literally stopped Tim in his tracks at age 28.For three months, he was unable to walk and asked himself, “What have I done to put myself in this situation?”Putting his ego aside, he got over himself, learned to be a solid team-builder and delegator, and cracked the code to find a great assistant. Combining new delegation skills with his US-based assistant Sarah, he finally got the bottom 80% off his task list and focused on the top 20%.This rapidly multiplied his consulting rate from $40/hour to $1,000/hour, while also reducing his overall workload. Today, Tim helps other entrepreneurs get great assistants so they can avoid all the pain and suffering he went through.Some Topics We Discussed Include:The frustrations of getting a great assistantWhen to delegate to an assistantThe 360 DelegationReasons why an assistant would failDecision-making guidelinesThe definition of "done" and what it impliesUseful hiring platform and toolsThe perfect job postingTim's process of training assistantsLearn more about Tim and get the full shownotes at https://baconwrappedbusiness.com/greatassistant/Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join the Bacon Wrapped Business Community today:Bacon Wrapped Business on FacebookBrad Costanzo on FacebookBrad Costanzo on LinkedInBrad Costanzo on YouTubeBrad Costanzo on Twitter This is a public episode.
