Okay so my new personal/administrative assistant started the other day and she rocks. We basically hired her to take care of stuff around the house/office. Yesterday she came with groceries, office depot stuff, organized all my bills, went to the bank for me.
Yes, I am lazy. I just feel like tasks like that should be handled by someone else. Especially when I am constantly busy during the day running 4 businesses stuff, it’s good to know that someone will kinda help organize your life.
She is super organized and a great person to work with!
But that’s not all. There’s more! We want to make her part of the company. Eventually handling some customer service stuff, billing, accounts receivable and all that. I think back now and saying damn, I should’ve always had one of these. It’s totally a huge asset because they do the things that take up the most time and are usually odd tasks.
Speaking of making life easier Matt Trainer told me about this new website called Earth Class Mail. This has to be the most brilliant idea ever. Basically you have one mailing address somwhere in the US. You send ALL your mail there. They sort it for you and forward what you want. But it doesn’t stop there. They scan EACH envelope that comes in. You then view it online and select which pieces of mail you want to open. Then it opens the mail and scans the pages inside and you view that online.
This has to be the CRAZIEST thing ever. Taking postal mail and turning it digital. Have a new credit card? No problem, they’ll just forward it to wherever you are IN THE WORLD. Magazines? Same deal.
This is especially helpful for people like me because its impossible to know where I’m gonna be next week.
Gangsta. Pure Gangsta.
Anyway, got some stuff to do. Check out this picture I saw yesterday. I thought these didnt really exist.

Hi Amish,
What do you think about virtual assistants? Have you had experience with those?
On a separate note, in regards to online postal mailboxes, you can also check out our Virtual Post Mail service. We offer similar services and best of all, we let you pick your own 4-digit mailbox number so it’ll be easy for you to remember. If you’re interested in using or reviewing our service, you are more than welcome to contact me and we can make arrangements.

Hi, Amish. Do you know that Earth Class Mail now also electronically deposits checks that come in the mail? Your new assistant wouldn’t have to go to the bank anymore
