A short YouTube monologue (Mark Evans DM, uploaded Sept 15, 2023) in which the speaker reflects on personal finance perceptions—using the example of seeing $12,000 in a bank account—and reframes hiring assistants from a cost to an investment. The speaker emphasizes entrepreneurs often dislike paperwork and that hiring support frees them to focus on higher-value work.
Most of you sit there and like, go on your Chase account or whatever bank account, you're like, oh my God, I got $12,000. That's a lot of money. And you just sit and look at it. I did the same thing. I used to look at my bank statements and think, if I hire someone, it takes from me because it's money coming out of my account. That's how I used to think when I was hiring people. I've always had an assistant. I always understood the value of an assistant because I'm not a day to day paperwork guy. I'm terrible. Most entrepreneurs are absolutely horrible. But when I'm investing in the money, what I realize is every time I in people, I'm investing, not losing.
