You should write down what are your goals personal professional for the year break them down into sub goals and then start thinking like if i had an assistant by my side today what would i have them do. That becomes the really starting point for building a relationship with the EA. Athena is the part of the training program that teaches entrepreneurs how to delegate using lume videos, automated delegation or proactive delegation.

Today we chat with Jonathan Swanson, cofounder of Thumbtack, Athena, and Powerset. We cover a ton of ground - starting with the Sunday idea club that led to Thumbtack, how to scale a marketplace, and how to choose ideas you'd happily spent a decade on. Next, we jump into the science of delegation - the idea at the core of Athena. Jonathan talks through how to delegate to an EA, when to start with one, a system of delegation that creates asymmetric upside and what type of founders should consider it.
