I recently decided to hire a personal assistant for my home-based business. I didn’t actually have that many business tasks that needed to be taken care of though. The things that I needed done were personal tasks. Still I felt like I should at least start off with somewhat business-oriented tasks so that it didn’t seem like I was taking advantage of the skills of an experienced office assistant.

One of the first things that I did was to have the personal assistant look at reviews of DVD printers and DVD labelers. The reason that I needed this was because I wanted to do personal DVD labeling for my collection of films. However I didn’t want the assistant to know that so I kind of alluded to the fact that this would be an office purchase even though it really wasn’t.

In truth, the personal assistant that I hired probably would not have cared at all what the reason was that I was needing tasks like this done. As long as I was paying the rate of pay that I specified would be offered, it’s not like the assistant had any reason to complain. I guess I just haven’t gotten used to the idea that my work life is so busy that I can’t take care of things for my personal life without a little bit of help!
