Hey Retail Leasing folks, How much $$$ do you make? (No, you don’t need to answer but are you satisfied with that number?) If you are making in excess of $100,000 net to you, or $200,000 (I know a bunch of you are!) then…. Do you have an assistant? Do you have things you do that don’t justify you doing them yourself at your hourly rate of $48 ($100k) or $96 ($200k) per hour? For 20 hours per week, you can start with an assistant. 20 hours at $25 per hour = $500 per week. What more could YOU do and how would that help you earn MORE than your current income? If you have been stagnant at your current income, it may be time to leverage up with an assistant. I hear some of my clients tell me, “But what if they aren’t good and helpful, then what? I’ve wasted that money!" Well, you will need to hold them accountable and keep them on track. Learning management and leadership along the way is always good to add to the resume. Some of you tell me your company should pay for the assistant. But if they won’t, should you be stubborn and not help yourself, by paying for one yourself? Rarely do I see companies paying for help these days. If you are the CEO of your future…. Write down a list of things you do that you don’t like to do, OR that you aren’t good at. Could an assistant help with these items and give you some time back? Either to set more new business meetings or spend more time with your family? I know A LOT of you, and MOST don’t have assistants. Those that do, I believe make more money and have more time to do things they enjoy. We are at halftime for 2023. Try bringing on someone that can help! Invest $6,000 over the next quarter to see if it makes a difference in your life, I think it will.
