Learn From The Business Coach How To Get Stuff Done
Tips From the Business Coach Delegating Effectively to a Personal Assistant
The art of delegating effectively to a personal assistant is just that – an art that must be mastered in the same way that just giving someone paint does not make them an artist. As a business coach I’ve learned that to delegate effectively to a personal assistant, you must work hard to do your part in the following six areas:
1. You must clearly and concisely identify in writing the task that you want done.
2. You must document in writing the way you want the task to be done.
3. You must specify in writing when the item must be completed.
4. You must ask your assistant if they have any questions before the delegation has truly begun.
5. You must keep the lines of communication open and be ready to answer your assistant if and when they have any questions.
6. You must commit to following up with your assistant based on the assumption that they did not get the task completed correctly.

Three Different Packages to Serve You:
When I started Thrive15.com, I did not forget about the powdered milk I drank as a kid from time to time, or the Food Stamps we had to occasionally use to buy the food that we needed. Thus, my team and I have worked thousands of hours and have invested millions of dollars into creating three different packages to help anybody on any budget who is willing to apply the effort needed to learn and apply the principles, processes, systems, best-practices, and strategies that we teach.

You Have the Time You Need to Produce a Duplicable Business that Can Create Both Time and Financial Freedom for You
As a business coach, I have had countless business people come up to me and say, “I would love to grow my business, but I just can’t find the time.” And they are 100% wrong, 100% of the time. I would guess that you are already putting in the hours needed to take your business to the next level. However, you can incrementally increase the value of each hour of your working day by upgrading the way you use your time through creation of the systems and processes you need to grow.
Growing your business in a duplicable way is not an event; it will not happen with the touch of a button or with the brief placing of a call. We can help you completely change your life if you will allow us to guide you through the process of executing the best-practice systems that you have learned throughout this book.
What Are the First Things You Should Be Doing?
To help you get some big and quick wins and to establish a renewed sense of momentum within your company, I have put together a list of the SEVEN BIGGEST action items you need to implement within the next week. As a business coach, I have learned that each one of these action items will take less than 25 minutes to implement, but you must commit to doing them for them to work.
ACTION ITEM #1 – Define and clarify your personal F5 Goals (Faith, Family, Friendships, Fitness and Financial)
It’s almost impossible to drift your way to success. You won’t push back against outside pressures, your peers, and the culture around you if you don’t know where you want to go. Invest the time to type in and print out your F5 Goals today at: www.Thrive15.com/ F5GoalsWorksheet.
When you print out those goals, place them somewhere so that you can see them in the morning when you wake up, during the day when you are working and at night when you go bed. You can get to where you want to go, if you will only invest the time to define where it is that you want to go.
“Drifting, without aim or purpose, is the first cause of failure.”
