Why would I hire an assistant while my inbox only has 7 emails flagged for follow-up?
When I analyze the volume of work I'm delivering, I manage it quite well so it seems odd to choose to hire someone. Two major factors influenced my recent decision.
1. Managing my workload isn't my goal. Growth is my goal. Being able to delegate tasks and work would allow me to continue a growth mindset and teach someone else development and real estate along the way.
2. Family comes first. Michigan summers are sacred and my business coach gave me the best advice 5 years ago. She told me, "If you're reaching your goals, take a day off each week this summer to spend with your children." I have been doing exactly that for the last 5 years. This summer as I look at the workload in opening Drift, closing out phase 2 of Westwood, moving eleven thirteen center forward, and serving real estate clients I know that I cannot deliver it in 4 weekdays.
With a busy pipeline, this is the best time for anyone to come work for jenifer acosta development as they will have such exposure to different projects in various phases and stages. If you know someone who likes riding roller coasters, please let them know that I am looking for someone to ride through all the twists, turns, ups, and downs alongside me this summer.
