Outsourcing his personal life with remote executive assistants.

The goal isn’t just to be productive for productivity's sake. It’s about freeing up time to live a more purposeful and full life. It's about focusing on what you love and excel at. It's about creating a more enriched experience, both personally and professionally.

Fabrice calls out his secret weapon of remote executive assistants. He's been working with Philippines-based assistants for 20+ years. Here’s a full list of delegations to inspire you:

• Managing calendar with status updates, pending meetings, and meetings that were confirmed.

• Sending agenda for next day with context from email threads on each of the meetings.

• Helping manage connections and how he's connected with people he comes across

• Helps plan intellectual salons where people have dinner and discuss a focused topic or problem area.

• Checks connections between Fabrice and the other people and their companies.

• Book doctors appointments and rescheduling if necessary

  Waiting in line on his behalf. Spent 4 hours of back-and-forths with customer service to resolve a T-Mobile issue

• Scheduling meditations and exercise. Makes sure he has necessary equipment and orders them if needed.

• Dating apps. EA chats on behalf of him and set up dates on calendar. He reviews if he actually likes them before confirming.

• Personal blog. Fabrice gets to focus on just the writing part. His assistant uploads everything in Wordpress, replicates to Substack, shares it out, etc.

• Managing different accounts. Cleaning up his subscriber lists. Unsubs to emails. Requests to remove his info from old subscriptions.

• Dog help. She'll buy supplies and everything for his dog.

• Kid help. Coordinates nannies and their pay. Makes sure he has coverage when needed.

• Research. Everything from birth certificate to passport stuff.

• Legal admin. She'll signed on behalf of Fabrice for things like rental agreements.

• Government processes. Figure out how to request for French police record, contact the departments, fill out IRS forms, etc.

• Planning travel. Books hotels, flights, and scheduling. Researches options to eat, different events he may like, and more. She even helped him find and buy halloween costume

• Annual albums. Fabrice makes an annual photo album to reflect on the year. He uploads all his photos to dropbox and someone else organizes and creates the album.

On security

Almost all of our clients are initially hesitant about the idea of giving this much access to someone overseas. But the ones who benefit the most are the ones willing and able to let go.

Here's are some pointers in how he personally mitigates risk:

• Only gives access to one credit card and reviews the card statement regularly. You're not liable for credit card fraud and credit card companies are good at catching unusual behavior. You can also dispute charges during your review.

• Limit banking access. His assistant doesn't have his banking info and can't send wires.

• Emails. He doesn't give direct email account access. You can do "delegated access" via Gmail and other software lets them still send/read email on your behalf.

Overall, Fabrice says that if he compares the risk of fraud to saved time, "it's completely worth it".

Takeaway

Delegation and outsourcing improves both productivity and quality of life. By doing it effectively, you free up time. Then you can focus on living a fulfilling personal life. Not just doing more work.
