Get a Great Assistant

Get your time back so you can
get back to growing your business

Our Founder, Tim Francis, has appeared:

I Failed With My First 5 Assistants

10 years ago, I failed 5 times at getting an Assistant before I finally cracked the code.

I tried overseas.

I tried DIY.

I tried Agencies.

I tried part-time.

I tried full-time.

Nothing worked. I was supremely frustrated with all of the wasted time and money.

All in, I lost over $10,000 and years of productivity.

I shudder to think of the opportunity cost from all those failures.

Then I Cracked the Code

Once I figured it out, though, my business started to grow again.

Soon my Assistant was taking over big chunks of my day-to-day, including my email inbox and calendar too.

My income nearly tripled in that first year.

My stress levels went way down. I could breathe again. It was like I had 100 browser tabs open and 97 of them just got closed.

Suddenly I was enjoying my business again.

So I Started Helping Others

Soon my Entrepreneur-buddies all wanted their own Great Assistant too.

I started a business doing exactly that.

I called it Great Assistant.

Have Now Helped Nearly 1,000 Entrepreneurs

Now it’s been almost 10 years.

My team and I have helped nearly 1,000 Entrepreneurs get their own Great Assistant too.

We have the highest stick-rate in America and are trusted by many of the biggest thought leaders.

Who We're For

Although we’ve helped a huge range of Entrepreneurs from solopreneurs to the Chairman of a Mutual Fund, our most common client is an Entrepreneur in the $200K – $2M range who has a service-based business.

We’ve helped nearly 1,000:

  • Coaches
  • Consultants
  • Agency Owners
  • Attorneys
  • Accountants
  • Financial Planners

What matters more, though, than industry or size of business is the Entrepreneur’s mindset. If an Entrepreneur is ready to raise the bar on who they hire and how they lead, they’re ready for our program.

In fact, over and over again, we see one of our clients’ biggest success factors is if they’re ready to be a great coach.

Who We Aren't For

Entrepreneurs who:

  • Want to throw an Assistant in the deep end and expect them to “figure it out”
  • Are unwilling to give coaching to their Assistant
  • Are unwilling to receive coaching on how to lead and delegate
  • Are unwilling to follow our program as designed

LEADERSHIP TRAINING FOR YOU

We’ll guide you to know what to delegate, how to delegate, how to onboard, and how to lead.

TRAINING FOR YOUR ASSISTANT

Once you’ve got your Assistant, we’ve got training to help them make the fastest impact possible.

What Makes Us Different

Everything in our program is geared around one goal: getting you a great Assistant who stays long term, frees you up as soon as possible, with as little work on your behalf as possible.

Specifically, this is what makes us different:

  • Domestic EAs only, based in the US or CAN, no overseas
  • Assistants hired directly into your business, no freelancers with 5 clients, no rent-an-Assistants
  • Assistants can be 1099 or W2
  • Assistant can be part-time or full-time
  • We provide after-hire support to train your Assistant
  • We provide a complete system to you, the Entrepreneur, so you know exactly how to lead and use your Assistant every step along the way.

Timeline

Within approximately 8 weeks you’ll have your Great Assistant. This assumes you’re available to complete all prep steps and you’re responsive to all of our messages.

If you’ve got any disruptions coming up (e.g. vacation), simply discuss those with us and we can get you a customized timeline.

About Great Assistant

How to Find the Perfect Mini-Me:

So You Can Get Your Time Back and Focus on What Matters Most

Our team at Great Assistant have become the #1 authority on helping you get your time back:

  • Find a Winning Assistant

    One of the most powerful decisions you'll ever make is getting a great Assistant. Most successful Entrepreneurs claim it's the most important hire they've ever made. The problem is it can be really tricky to find the "diamonds in the rough." We'll help you stack the deck in your favour.

  • Figure Out What to Delegate First

    There's a real art and science to delegation. What to begin with? What's too big or too small? Too hard or too easy? We've developed proprietary tools to help you demystify where to begin.

  • Lead Effectively

    It's tempting to think your journey is complete once you make a job offer. In reality, you've only just begun. Effective onboarding, training, and ongoing management can make or break a relationship. It's said that 50% of workers who quit do so because they hate their boss. We can help you be on the right side of that statistic!

  • Build Long-Lasting Trust and Results

    Like any great investment, a great Assistant will literally get better and better over time. Soon they'll be doing things you never imagined possible. A crucial element is building trust. We can help you get beyond some of your fundamental fears.

We’ve helped nearly 1,000 Entrepreneurs directly through our done-for you service, and 10,000 more through our free tools and communities.
