Behind Every Successful Founder is a Powerful Force Multiplier. 

A force multiplier is a strategic partner who helps an entrepreneur build and run a wildly successful business. They often go by the title of “Executive Assistant” or “Chief of Staff.” Entrepreneurs who want to grow a business quickly know that they can’t go it alone and need a strategic partner to help them accomplish their vision.  

 

Yet, too often, Executive Assistants are kept at a distance and left unfulfilled in their career. Not only is this a career setback for the Executive Assistant, but it also leads to wasted time and money for the business – two things startups can’t afford to lose.

 

Entrepreneurs and Executive Assistants need each other to survive and thrive. 

 

Entrepreneurs need a Force Multiplier (aka Executive Assistant), a strategic partner who will bring order to the chaos and take on the miscellaneous 80 percent of their workload - and who will help them create the foundation that will allow them to build a life and business without limits. 

 

Executive Assistants need a Founder (aka an Entrepreneur), a visionary, a driven, growth-minded leader who will reignite their passion for their career, challenge them to think bigger, and allow them to use their project management and leadership skills, along with their business acumen, to help create the foundation that will allow them both to build a life and career without limits. 

 

If you are an Executive Assistant interested in learning how to build a dynamic and fulfilling career, or a leader looking to hire or establish a better relationship with your right hand... then you’ll want to move this book to the top of your reading list.

Review

"The Founder & The Force Multiplier is nothing less than life changing for a visionary entrepreneur. I wish I could go back in time and give it to myself 20 years ago. I would have been a ten times better CEO. I recommend it to every entrepreneur I talk to. This is an absolute MUST read." - Jeff Davis, Founder & Chairman, 12 Mavens

"A MUST READ for all professionals, regardless of the industry they are in. This book highlights all the key reasons communication is paramount in any professional relationship. It is a quick and easy read that gets right to the heart of the matter.  It made me question some choices I've made recently and where I see myself headed professionally. Which for me is the best outcome after any good read." - Jessica Cartigiano, Director of Operations & Expansions, Galligan Realty Group

"I have been at Amazon for 3.5 years, and I am proud to say that I have been hired as an EA to an Executive here starting next Monday! This book has been so informative and helpful in preparing me for the role - I wish I had discovered it prior to my interview! Thankfully I landed the job, and I'm sure that I will continue to reference this book as I settle into my new role." - Kathleen Dawson, Executive Assistant, Amazon

"If you are part of an executive/executive assistant relationship, this book will challenge you to consider the current value of that relationship and encourage you to raise the bar. This book has already emboldened our team, and we are looking forward to the future with more excitement and confidence than ever before." - Sheena Saydam, Managing Partner, Saydam Properties Group

"The exact book that I needed right now as I actively search for my first Executive Assistant. It perfectly outlines the relationship, the true partnership of the Executive and their Assistant. This will be required reading for my EA in their first 30 days!" - via GoodReads 

"I have been attending their webinars and training courses for quite a while now, and this was what I needed to 'put it all together'. This laid out in a clear and concise manner, what they have been teaching to so many.  The audio version has more personal content from Adam - I loved that - it helps to flesh out his ideas and add a feeling of 'connectedness'. I ended up buying three more copies for our team, as we hire a new assistant, so that they may begin implementing these ideas from the start." - via Goodreads
