[mariamdawoodkhan]

I just finished reading this book and it was life changing. I want to print and staple the ladder to the wall in my office because how validated I felt reading about it. Dan is so great into really breaking things down point by point, step by step teaching you LITERALLY what to do just like this video and his book. New super fan here!!

[gurutravel-planningmagical]

I purchased your book on Audible a few weeks ago and let me tell you. Many people have books but they don't give you actionable items you can use to implement, you do! I have been obsessed with listening to all of your YouTube Videos and downloading all of your worksheets. Meeting with my team of 3 assistants for our offsite in a couple of weeks and getting to work! Thank you so much!~Kelly

[PaulCopcutt]

The Executive assistant advice in the book has been the key game changer for me. I was going to hire in a different direction because that is what I thought I needed and your book Dan changed my direction. Best decision I made. Thank you.

[abdullahnooreldinalkhawari]

Really enjoying Dan’s content. Very helpful. Is there a video on how to find and interview a skilled EA that can be trusted with this?

Can you share the link to the year at a glance doc 🙏

[nhhiinternalchannel]

So does the assistant work set hours, are they hourly or salary, how do you handle times when they are off?

[joshhenry]

where do you find an assistant like this and what skillset(s) are you looking for in the hiring process?

[victoriabruce]

Does your assistant have their own email account, or is it more efficient for them to only have to manage yours? I transitioned from an admin role to EA a year and a half ago and we still struggle trying to button down the best processes and get me out of my own inbox so I can take care of his better.

[matt_plapp]

Well, I must have done something right because email demand is minute. Maybe it’s due to hiring people to free me II years ago. On the calendar, 99% of my weekly meetings are my leadership team. I stoped taking any other appointments the past few years so I could build what we have.

[abirahmed]

This guy reminds me of either to hire 'Assistant' or 'Buy back your time'
