"There is a ceiling to what you can make on your own" - Monty Hooke

Monty Hooke is the founder of EZYVA, theBali Entrepreneurs Resort, and the author of Business Hacker.

After observing the likes of Richard Branson and marveling at how one man could run 300 companies, he embarked on a quest to find his line of leverage. In this episode you will hear the story of how Monty went from solopreneur to 300 employees and from zero to 7 figure business in a year and a half.

The key as Monty sees it is understanding which stage (out of six) you are in as a entrepreneur, and what it looks like to go to the next stage and ultimately increase your leverage to the point where you are workin on the business rather than in your business.

He teaches us how to find and hire the right Virtual Assistants (VA's), how to communicate clearly, manage expectations, delegate tasks, unpack the activities of your business, and start spending more time on your high value activities.

If you are a busy entrepreneur with lots of things you don't want or don't have time to do and you think your time is more valuable elsewhere, hiring an assistant is one of the most important things you can go for your business, and this episode will tell you what you need to know!
