Short monologue (YouTube transcript) reflecting on personal finance psychology and the value of hiring assistants. Speaker describes the common reaction of staring at an account balance (e.g., seeing $12,000), recounts prior mindset that hiring felt like money lost, and reframes hiring people (assistants) as an investment that multiplies value for entrepreneurs.
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.
