Tim Francis is the Founder of Great Assistant, a done-for-you service that helps entrepreneurs get a great assistant.
For years, Tim had a stubborn attitude that he could work 80 hours per week and do everything on his own. All that changed when a sudden stress-induced case of Erythema Nodosum literally stopped Tim in his tracks at age 28.
For three months, he was unable to walk and asked himself, “What have I done to put myself in this situation?”
Putting his ego aside, he got over himself, learned to be a solid team-builder and delegator, and cracked the code to find a great assistant. Combining new delegation skills with his US-based assistant Sarah, he finally got the bottom 80% off his task list and focused on the top 20%.
This rapidly multiplied his consulting rate from $40/hour to $1,000/hour, while also reducing his overall workload. Today, Tim helps other entrepreneurs get great assistants so they can avoid all the pain and suffering he went through.
Some Topics We Discussed Include:
- The frustrations of getting a great assistant

- The 360 Delegation
- Reasons why an assistant would fail
- Decision-making guidelines
- The definition of "done" and what it implies
