And I did all the work myself because I had no idea how to use an assistant.
I drove that woman nuts.
She sat there for six months waiting to get fired because I wouldn't give her tasks to do.
And the whole time I'm thinking, well, this is kind of cool.
Like, it's cool to have someone to chat with once in a while.
I had no idea.
She'd asked me what to do.
And I would just assume I had to do everything myself because how could I hand a task off to her?
It wouldn't make sense.
Like, she wouldn't do it the way I did it.
That ended at six months when I finally said, I guess I don't need you.
And she goes, I guess you don't.
My wife was furious when I told her that.
She said, what the hell is wrong with you?
You're working 80, 90 hours a week, and you're paying your assistant, and you aren't even using them.
Do you not know how?
I got another assistant.
My first task for that assistant was tell me how to use an assistant.
And I had to learn manually.
This is a skill set, just like I told you earlier.
