This is a YouTube video titled "Before You Hire an Assistant Do This" containing a monologue or talk from September 20, 2022, discussing the challenges agents face when hiring administrative help without proper systematization and leadership. The speaker explains the common mistake of expecting an assistant to fix organizational chaos without adequate support or procedures in place.
I think what happens with so many agents is they get really busy. They hire an admin, and they expect this admin that they're paying a tiny fraction of what they earn to clean up their chaos that they've never been able to clean up. They've never systematized it, they've never created operating procedures. And then they think that the. It's. It's the assistant's fault or the administrator's fault that it doesn't go well. When in fact, the personal responsibility actually lays on the team leader who didn't set that person up for success because they, like, they. They threw someone into their mess and expected it to go well, which is pretty much impossible. That's never gonna. That's never gonna be.
