The Ultimate VA 101 - How a Full-Time Assistant Is Vital for Business Owners

Total Mental Performance

In this episode, I sit down with Le-an Lai Lacaba, co-founder of 2XYOU, to talk about how a great assistant can seriously level up an entrepreneur’s productivity.

She helped me headhunt my super star assistant Kirsten Castillo and taught me how to 2x my productivity with Kirsten’s help.

2XYOU specializes in hiring, training, and managing AI-powered executive assistants for clients all over the world.

Their process starts with figuring out what tasks you can delegate, then doing a deep dive to nail down the right values and KPIs for your assistant, before finally finding the perfect match for your needs.

They then provide ongoing training and consultancy so you can maximise productivity and efficiency.

In the pod, Le-an really emphasizes the power of having a full-time assistant. Here's why:

- Consistent support: A dedicated assistant is there to handle tasks you don’t need to be doing yourself, freeing up your time to focus on higher-value work.

- Faster business growth: With the right assistant, you can move faster—delegating tasks quickly means you can focus more on scaling and growing your business.

- Speed is key: Getting the right assistant onboard quickly is crucial to avoid bottlenecks and stay productive.

- Clear communication: Regular check-ins with your assistant help keep things running smoothly and aligned, so you can address any issues early.

Having a full-time assistant can make a massive difference in how quickly you can grow and succeed in your business.
