In this episode, we’re diving into the distinctions between executive and personal assistants and how each role can transform the way you work. Many entrepreneurs hesitate to bring on support, unsure of the right timing or unclear about what tasks to delegate. I’ll share my own journey from hiring a virtual assistant to a full-time EA and explain why personal assistants are just as crucial for time-starved CEOs. You’ll also learn how to balance trust and privacy, set clear boundaries, and keep assistants aligned with your priorities. By understanding the unique value each role brings, you’ll be ready to make strategic hires that give you back time and focus. Tune in to see how you can start building your dream support team today!
