You can use your executive assistant is some unexpected ways. She says the traditional CEO business owners think emails, setting up email rules and organizing file folders and naming protocols but you can also use your executive assistant to do a lot of other things like financial management or helping you organize all the paperwork, all the numbers and information. She says there are so many ways to take the things we don’t enjoy as much and get someone who loves that stuff to help us be more organized and to reduce all the little open loops in our brain that we need to get to.
