We're not crying, you're crying... Thank you for the Lindsay Tjepkema for the love ♥️ .
3x Founder | Startup Advisor + Brand Strategist | Business Growth Through Brand, Story, & Thought Leadership
Female founders don’t need chocolate or roses on Valentine’s Day. We need support. (OK, maybe the chocolate and roses, too. But mostly the support.) My friend and fellow female founder, Paige McPheely, helped me give myself permission to get the support I needed when she convinced me to start working with an Executive Assistant. I'm not being dramatic when I tell you it changed my life. Since I’ve been in leadership roles for decades, I’m officially late to the game on this. But it has been a game changer. For months, I had been building this business all by my self. Here's what that looked like: 🫠 Managing podcast guests and communication and recordings and promotion and publishing... alone. 🫠 Staying on top of all my client comms, follow-ups, rescheduling, and confirmations... alone. 🫠 Organizing email lists, workflows, forms, landing pages, and links... alone. 🫠 Creating, strategizing, executing, running admin... alone. 🫠 Balancing building a business and life in a new place with a husband in a new job and three kids with insane schedules... alone. 🫠 Navigating unexpected renovations on our house because it had issues we didn't know about... alone (and mad). I was drowning but figured, “Hey, entrepreneur life!” For so many years, I honestly didn't think I deserved the any sort of paid support. I let myself listen to the lies in my head (and, frankly, from some people around me) that told me... ❌ I shouldn't need the help. It was a sign of weakness. ❌ That if I was good enough, I could do it all myself. ❌ That an EA was a luxury that I had not earned. ❌ "It must be nice..." to even be able to consider it. Then, Paige showed up with empathy and encouragement. She convinced me to accept some help and I officially became a client of her company, Base, which connected me with Samantha Archuleta and facilitated a beautiful partnership. And BOOM💥 In just a week or two, I could start to breathe again. And when life blew up as I lost my dad, I had a little peace knowing that there was someone here to help clear my calendar, reschedule meetings, push back the planned launch of my show, and keep things moving. It was such a gift to know I didn’t have to worry about any of that when so much was happening with my family. I urge you on this Valentine’s Day to please, please show someone you care (especially, but not limited to, female founders) by encouraging them to get the support they need and really do deserve. I'm biased, but I really think you should check out Base HQ. They are wonderful humans and they just get it. Happy Valentine's Day, friends. ❤️

"The best leaders aren’t the most exhausted ones. They’re the ones who build businesses, not jobs." 👏 👏👏
If the success of your company requires you to burn out, you’re doing it wrong. You’re not running a business—you’re handling a time bomb. 🚫 Your inbox shouldn’t control your schedule 🚫 Your day shouldn’t be full of things someone else could do 🚫 Your success shouldn’t come at the expense of your well-being (or the well-being of your loved ones) I don’t want to talk about grit anymore. We don’t need more grit. We need to enable one another to succeed. ✅ Delegate like it’s your job. (Because it is.) ✅ Build systems that don’t rely on you ✅ Take time away—without guilt. Be a good example The best leaders aren’t the most exhausted ones. They’re the ones who build businesses, not jobs. #StartupLeadership #Delegation #WorkLifeBalance #ScaleYourBusiness

They’re sharing the full story over on YouTube. Check it out! 👀 ⬇️ 🎥 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/gxQt5B2i

Every morning, our CEO, Paige McPheely, gets a few simple but important questions through an automated Slack workflow set up by her EA: 💬 How are you feeling? 💡 How was yesterday? ✅ What do you want to get done today? A computer sends these questions, but it’s her EA who makes them meaningful. 👀 She picks up on patterns in Paige’s mood, notices when extra support is needed, and adjusts plans to help the day go smoothly. 🧩✨ It’s like having a super-organized friend—someone who not only always checks in but also really understands what you need. This is why Base believes technology helps assistants do their jobs better—but it will never replace them. 🤖➡️💡 Computers and AI can handle the simple stuff, but real human care and understanding will always matter most. ❤️🙌 #ExecutiveAssistant #LeadershipSupport #WorkingSmarter
