Hi Patrick, It is super informative video and I have recently hired one assistant and joining shortly. Still looking to hire more help. Many Thanks for sharing this! Wondering the page to PDF is not allowing to download. Please advise.
Thank you so much for this! Really helpful! To successfully hire employees, you need to think about a lot more than you would imagine. Without a good team, your business will go downhill and it will be a HARD recovery. Hire character. Train skill. Hiring people is a form of investing. You have to do your research and make sure you're spending your resources on the right pick. We are really thankful that we have a great team of employees in our business that has actually made it possible for our business to run even without us. Thanks to our general manager who took over the business while we were travelling for almost a month!! We own a cookie shop business in our college town. When we first started it, we were living in our car with very little direction, just a huge passion to be successful. We just graduated college as well. We started the late night cookie shop out of a local bagel shop in their off hours at night. We were living in our car in the parking lot of the shop at the time with my boyfriend, Bran. It was a crazy experience but it worked! We became a success! And how we have our first storefront location (a second launching soon!) We started it to fund a year long backpacking trip around the world and to be successful while living the life of our dreams.
Thank you for your post. At the moment I'm in a similar situation, not living in my car as I sold it but I'm about to be broke. My business is made of a good idea but it's really hard to bring it alive, hard to find the right people and hard to trust the enviroment. No idea on how this is going to work out in the end... Hope I look back at this comment in 1 or 2 years and made it up successfully. BTW, I'm not MJ. Hee Hee,
*Hiring a right hand for yourself should be approached seriously. I would do several steps interview to check the personality (how we click), professionalism (work ethic), overall philosophy of life (to reassure that we have same goals and values in life). Thanks Patrick.*
If you're going to hire an assistant make sure you're not expecting 24/7 help. You're an adult and should be able to do certain things for yourself. Your assistant will have things they need to do for themselves and their loved ones. They also need vacation and sick days. They have rights.
Thank you so much for posting this. I have been an executive assistant to C-Suite executives for 15 years. I have done all the things you mentioned and more. Finally someone understands that each of those four positions is a totally different animal. Great video for executives to see. My husband is an organizational psychologist and many people would be surprised to hear that this is one area that he questions the executive about. If they don’t get the right assistant, it can really hold them back. Fantastic video.
Thanks again for this wonderful video I did not know that I was administrative Assistant, until I saw this video, I quit my job (I loved my job but had personal things I had to take care of) and after I quit my boss stopped moving up, I don't want to brag but now I have confirmed that if you have a good assistant you can do so much more. My former boss could go out of town, and I had everything under control. Now he never goes because the new assistants can't keep business together while he is gone.
Patrick, you are one of my biggest mentors. I have been watching your videos for years now and it seems every time I really need an opinion on something you post the exact video I need help with or I find one of your older videos. I’m currently in the process of hiring my first VA. I have been through 250 job applicants narrowed it down to 40, interviewed 30 now I have 6 solid candidates left to interview. I can only hire 1 at this moment. I hadn’t subscribed because I never used youtube logged in, but I have done it now just for you. I feel I have to leave you this heartfelt message as you have been a huge inspiration to me in my journey ever since I quit my job over 2 years ago. I have so much respect for you as a person on so many levels. I can see myself in your position in 10 years time, I’m 29 at the moment. Your content is by farrrr the best on the internet. You cover so many different topics and in such great depth. Honestly I owe you so much as I am sure everybody who watches your videos feels the same way. Please keep on doing these great videos and remember my name in a few years when I’ve smashed it I will pay you back in whatever way I can. Ps. You and Tim Ferriss are my guys. Very different to each other, but both amazing. You guys change the world to a better place and provide hope to us who did not finish high school with good grades, didn’t go sixth form, didn’t graduate from university yet we are the ones running businesses and being our own bosses. I’ve been meaning to leave you this message for a very long time, but sometimes you have to wait for the right time and now is the right time. Just know I was there way before you had your hundreds of thousands of followers and I am still here today. I’m gonna watch your video now before I go to bed. Nayden Delchev born and raised in Bulgaria, moved to London at the age of 11 with 0 English in my vocabulary. In the next few years I will build my empire and I will definitely start to make videos like you and I will be sure to mention you in my videos to give you props as I have the utmost respect for you. Anyway I’m not sure where this came from... well it came from the heart, but it’s unlike me anyway you know how much I appreciate your work and you deserve the message. Just don’t expect it on your every video ;) Hope you get to read my message and get all the positive vibrations I am sending you and your team and if you do, remember the name ;) P.s. I really wanted to attend the vault, but with the current situation in hiring and the business being so busy I will have to miss it and I will make sure to attend your next one.
You don't necessarily need great people. All you need is to develop great systems so you can build up any person for any position in your business. Great systems = great people. This is how you grow an unstoppable organization! :)
@@EcSpIa I agree! People are rarely born great, but those who work on themselves become great. And by shining the light on other people they can make them great as well. Be it through systems or by lifestyle! But you still don't want some people in your system because no matter how you train them they are simply not made for it!
Thanks for the expansion and differential role definitions. I've been an Executive Assistant for 6Months and this video has given me more understanding of my roles and expectations. Thanks again.
I just subscribed. You are really delivering the goods with these videos. In my experience, you're setting the standard for this type of content on TH-cam.
to be honest watching his video is not a waste ... it give more postive impact in life, work. ..and hey not only that But teach how to survive with everyday obstacles we face. Highly appreciate you Pat. Thanks.
🤗 This was so necessary!!! Thank you so much for this. I am going nuts trying to run my entire business by myself and I’m going to use your tips immediately and share it with my audience as well. 🙌
As someone who has a training course for EAs this is SPOT ON! Best video I have seen for explaining and looking for assistants. Knowing what level of assistant you are looking for is so important. So spot on!
Literally the questions I didn’t even know how to ask! Thank you so much!! I’m a photographer. I wanna to figure out a way to use your method with editors etc.
Pat as usual this is a great vid. Have you ever thought about making a video of the best books to read for different subjects? I.E. best books for entrepreneurs, best books to have your kids read, best books for motivation, etc...
I fucking love you pbd no HOMO. I'm 1:08 minutes and just from the first description of an assistant at a start up stage "the runner" I can all ready tell this is going to give me the insight I've been searching for, for months! You give so much out bro God bless you and your family. From England North London !
I am an executive assistant and unfortunately Administrative roles are used undervalued. This video is great, amazing vision! The type of leader I want to work for.
Why can't we get the PDF in previous way . Subscribing through newsletter. It was most efficient way. Just giving my honest feedback. Thankyou 🙏 great content as always.
Hello. I know I am 5 years late but do you still need an assistant. I have worked 3 years plus with Founders and Ceos and would love to apply if you don't mind.

Hi Pat, good video, I say hire people based on personality traits. So I say hire people that are smarter than you, train them, then let them run. And that goes for your assistant, can you imagine having a very smart assistant, this can make your life wonderful.
I'm at a level where I need a runner, I need a man who fears me, is intimidating ,can drive me where I want and help me doing physical stuff and many things
I'm starting as an assistant soon, so of course I went straight to Patrick's channel. I love his content. I will be an executive assistant with ADP by the way
Hiring 2 people is a good trick cause you try to also build partnership if you're gonna keep both of them if you're fire one of them you're gonna take the stronger person
Loyalty in a partnership or employees is number one.... You don't fire somebody disrespectfully... People can walk away but you discuss how they walk away
Your book "Drop Out and Get Schooled" is just one left in stock on Amazon in India. Which Im going to order.... So maybe you want to make more books available for other people on amazon!!

It is as important as choosing the one you will marry.
If you're going to hire an assistant make sure you're not expecting 24/7 help. You're an adult and should be able to do certain things for yourself. Your assistant will have things they need to do for themselves and their loved ones. They also need vacation and sick days. They have rights.
if you want to go fast go alone if you want to go far you need a team.
True words 👍
Been trying to build my team since 2013 difficult more for females
@@Hackedacct5644 it is as hard for male i think! Just look for a human connection! It makes things easier i beleive!!
Thanks.HenryJ I will take into acct. And yes I believe you. That's the best 🌻🌞
@@Hackedacct5644 why is it more difficult for females? Most of employees are female

#NotificationSquad #VaultConfrence
Eyyyy, good timing! I need to hire one in the coming months.
Hire accordingly
This was great. Very informative, Is the pdf still available?
Wow, this is truly outstanding advice.
I am an executive assistant and unfortunately Administrative roles are used undervalued. This video is great, amazing vision! The type of leader I want to work for.
True!
Depending on the company Administrative roles are rewarding. Don’t kid yourself.
FANTASTIC SUBJECT AND PERFECT TIMING. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Thank you and happy Nowruz day :)
It was awesome, thanks for all your help, you are the best
Great content ❤
Very good video, well though out
Why can't we get the PDF in previous way . Subscribing through newsletter. It was most efficient way. Just giving my honest feedback. Thankyou 🙏 great content as always.
Mail newsletter? Wow that'd be great!
I’m at a level of needing a runner right now. One day I’ll need a chief of staff.
They’ll save you a ton of time.
Hello. I know I am 5 years late but do you still need an assistant. I have worked 3 years plus with Founders and Ceos and would love to apply if you don't mind.
True brother
Powerful , great video Pat!
OMG! Goose bumps
I make youtube videos about real estate and I think it’s about time I hire an assistant for my business to manage both. Thanks for the tips Pat!
Your channel seems really cool
Ariana Dolores Thanks Ariana :) See you in the next video on Thursday.👍🏻
Hello. I know I am 5 years late but do you still need an assistant. I have worked 3 years plus with Founders and Ceos and would love to apply if you don't mind.

Great video, super insightful
So powerful

Hi Pat, good video, I say hire people based on personality traits. So I say hire people that are smarter than you, train them, then let them run. And that goes for your assistant, can you imagine having a very smart assistant, this can make your life wonderful.
True feedback!
I wish this channel was still doing this type of videos
Thx
Perfect !
That is amazing 🤩
I'm at a level where I need a runner, I need a man who fears me, is intimidating ,can drive me where I want and help me doing physical stuff and many things
Pat's always hustling
I'm starting as an assistant soon, so of course I went straight to Patrick's channel. I love his content. I will be an executive assistant with ADP by the way
Congrats on the new role!
Very Powerful
I was a secratary for a while, I never minded that job title. I like the way you think.
👏

Sounds like evil work
Love From India❤️❤️🇮🇳
❤️
Great video! Can anyone recommend "WHERE" to find a good qualified assistant?
i started as runner now admin in 3 month
Congrats sir 1.2 million subs ......
Great video, very informative! Do you ever have that feeling when you need 36 assistants?
Yes yes yes 🙌🏾
The key is to find the right match. A great assistant can't be great unless there is synergy
Chief of staff...that can become a partner.. Or you can pay on performance percentage
#Believe :)
Um curious: Why not just put the pdf online?
Techiesse a lil kick out of your comfort zone, show that you want it! :))
(Was gonna ask the same thing actually)
That and he can get your number and market to you in the future. Not a bad thing. Great strategy we should all use.
Make sure your employees do not become your enemies you treat everyone with respect....
Loyalty in a partnership or employees is number one.... You don't fire somebody disrespectfully... People can walk away but you discuss how they walk away
Love ❤️ it
I like this guy.
👊🏼
I read "How to hire the best ASSASSIN"! Too much mafia on this channel :D :D
yes!
Couldnt wait to give you a thumb !
Your book "Drop Out and Get Schooled" is just one left in stock on Amazon in India. Which Im going to order.... So maybe you want to make more books available for other people on amazon!!
You should consider an another way of getting the PDF for those out of US
Thanks for the feedback. Well work on that. -MA
Pat, im still confused the different between employee or staff, and Assistant.. is it the same?
