Omar Zenhom explains how to buy back time in your startup by hiring a virtual assistant and outsourcing admin work like email and bookkeeping. He covers when to make your first hire and how AI tools like Fixer AI can save hours each week so you focus on revenue.
The leverage stage. This is where you start buying back your time as fast as possible. The first hire made was a VA because that freed up so much time. I think it freed about 20 hours of my week of all this admin tasks. We're talking about calendar management and emails and even like spreadsheets and doing finances, bookkeeping. All that kind of stuff can be outsourced to somebody that can do some data entry. And a lot of stuff can even be outsourced with some AI tools like Fixer AI, which is a great email AI tool that can kind of save you some time, about two or three hours a week even. So think about how you can start offloading when you start making some money and you can afford your first hire. And these hires by the way are not that expensive. $500,000 a month depending on if it's part time or full time. And you can really start leveraging your time smarter by freeing yourself up to work on the things that actually bring in the cat.
