Now Christine O'Brien Can Focus on What She Does Best

Was Trying to Do It All Herself

Christine O’Brien is the owner of Creating Calm Coach. She is a Certified Simplicity Parenting Coach and KonMari Consultant. She coaches women to create streamlined home environments that support harmony and connection.

Christine was trying to do it all herself. She recalls, “everything was on my shoulders. I knew I should get an assistant, but I kept putting it off.”

Getting Help With Minutiae

Christine knew having an assistant could help her be more organized and effective with her time but was worried about her ability to delegate tasks.

A friend in Christine’s professional circle recommended the Great Assistant program to help her find someone to take on the minutiae that seemed to fill her day and provide training for effective delegation.

Now Able to Focus on What She Does Best

In the Spring of 2020, Christine was matched with Great Assistant, Schesly.

After just a few weeks of training, Christine has delegated the tasks that used to weigh her down.

Schesly has taken on the ‘behind the scenes’ tech work and helps onboard and coordinate Christine’s other team members. Schesly also provides reports on Facebook stats, so marketing efforts are more effective.

Christine reports, “It feels really good to not be doing everything myself!

“I’m now able to focus on what I do best, which is client consulting. I now have a smooth, professional onboarding process and am offering an excellent customer experience.”

Guidance to Make It a Success

Having never worked with an assistant before, Christine was glad to have guidance and training to make it a real success.

Christine notes, “I like to work smarter, not harder, and thanks to the Great Assistant Program’s training, I’m learning more and more how to effectively delegate.”

Christine's Advice To Her Fellow Entrepreneurs:

“Realize what’s possible when you’re free from doing the day-to-day tasks and able to focus on growing your business.

“It can be scary to think about bringing on teammates, but you can only get to a certain level as a Solopreneur. You can’t break through that plateau unless you get help.”
