Hi everyone,

I am looking at hiring a personal assistant in my business and am wondering if anyone has any tips?

A lot of people at the office seem to replace their PA because they don't work out.

The first thing you need to asses is your budget for assistant and the clear arrangements of the salary. Most of the time an assistant does not work out due to salary disputes especially if the workload increases. Make a clear duration of their working hours, how they will be paid for it and stick to it.

After pulling my third 24+ hour work session in a two week span, I must hire a new assistant or two. Pronto. Right now, 95% of my work is in a home office. There would be room for a second person there … if I got rid of the hundreds of books and my precious piles of magazines, tapes and other yummy stuff. Which leads me to one of the two questions I want to put out to you…

Have you had success bringing an assistant (part-time) into a home office? If so, give me the skinny — tips, tricks, what’s worked, what you’d never do again.
What are your best tips for hiring a great assistant?

Now, lest you think I’m all take and no give … let me offer something back.

I’ve been posing these questions to my fellow entrepreneurs, friends and mentors for the last few weeks. I’ve received some jaw-dropping advice … the kind of things you’d never hear about unless someone close to you took you in confidence. Once I have some feedback here on the blog, I’ll combine it with the info I’ve compiled elsewhere … and give it away as a gift.

Fair enough?
