The Most Undervalued Hire in a Scaling Company: Your Executive Assistant feat. Anna Dearmon Kornick
Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women EntrepreneursShow Notes
Are you secretly wondering if you're the bottleneck in your business? If you're hovering around the $250K-$500K mark and feeling overwhelmed, here's some good news: it's not you. You just don't have the infrastructure yet.
One of the most misunderstood - yet most catalytic - hires that creates that infrastructure is an executive assistant. This week, Eleanor is joined by time management expert and host of the It's About Time podcast, Anna Dearmon Kornick. Anna runs a successful business with just one full-time employee (herself!) while managing programs, clients, and her family, just to name a few. How? Through the strategic use of her executive assistant.
Listen in this week as Anna breaks down why your EA is not an administrative nice-to-have but part of the core infrastructure of scale. You'll learn Anna's system for working with her assistant, and the key tools and documentation that allows her business to run smoothly whether she's speaking, coaching, or spending time with family.
