Top 3 Keys to Admin vs Ops Boss




When hiring an assistant, do you want someone you have to spoon feed or one that will take charge like a boss and aggressively take stuff off your plate?

Knowing the distinction between an assistant/admin vs an Ops Boss can be a night and day difference in how you grow your business.

Here's where the brain damage happens...

Many people assume that when they hire an assistant that they are automatically getting an "ops boss".

NOT TRUE!

This is like going to a car lot and asking for a car without specifying stick shift or automatic and wondering how you ended up with the wrong one.

They may have similar labels of "admin" or "assistant" just as a car is called a "car" in general but that one detail provides a dramatically different experience.

An OPS BOSS who brings business-building results. They can coach others on your team and is true leverage and muscle in your business. An Ops Boss raises the bar AND increases profit.

What would that do for your business? For your family? For your future?
