He started with the wrong goal in mind.

The goal shouldn't be to increase the number of personal productivity hours. The goal is to move a company vision forward.

The leverage you get by spending half as much money on a single full-time virtual assistant to handle tasks for you alone would easily be double the "output" as what he did here.

Hopefully, lesson learned on his end? :shrug:

Also looks like he's into standup comedy. If you ever want a spot in Taipei hit me up Simon!
