You’re not bad at hiring. You’re just chasing a unicorn.
You want someone who can manage your calendar, write your newsletters, run operations, handle support, think like a strategist, execute like a machine, and work across four time zones—all for under $2,000 a month.
Here’s the hard truth: that person doesn’t exist. And if they did, they wouldn’t apply to your job.
So here’s what to do instead:
1️⃣ Write down everything you wish this person would do.
2️⃣ Circle the three most critical things.
3️⃣ Build a role around those—not all seventeen.
Hiring isn’t about finding magic. It’s about making tradeoffs. Clarity beats fantasy. Every time.
