00:00:00.000 I used to be the guy that would go to my office every Sunday and process all the physical mail

00:00:05.740 that would come into my PO box. It would take me like six hours. The CEO of the insurance company

00:00:10.480 in our hometown. And I just emailed them. How do you manage your mail? He's like, I don't,

00:00:14.420 my assistant does. And my head exploded. Cause I was like, I don't have an assistant. I said,

00:00:18.720 okay, I'm going to hire somebody. Her name was Lisa. Now is Lisa going to get a hundred percent

00:00:22.620 of it right now? But guess what? 80% done by somebody else is a hundred percent freaking

00:00:26.180 awesome. The perfectionist listening to this, you got to lower your standard to assume anybody else

00:00:31.280 without the context and experience in life you've lived is going to be able to do it just like you.

00:00:35.200 It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Nobody can do it like you and that's okay. At the end of the

00:00:40.420 day, if you are an entrepreneur and you have a business and you don't have an executive assistant,

00:00:44.560 you are one and you're overpaid and you probably suck.
