Keith Kalfas Huge Convention 2022 – How to Hire Remote Employees to Help You
Have you ever heard that in order to achieve success, you need to do everything by yourself?
I cannot stress how much I disagree with this because whether we admit it or not, we’re in a completely different reality now. There’s a more effective way to reach your dream life without having to send yourself towards burnout.
Now that I hired the right people for my business, I am no longer stuck up until the weekends, handcuffed to my computer, and doing all the work alone. As someone who has been there, I understand. Trust me, I’ve been there. You are going to have the opportunity to see things that will help you live a better and more prosperous life.
“The next time there’s something repeatedly frustrating you and your business that you can’t do and you feel handcuffed, ask yourself 'who,' not ‘how.’”
– Keith Kalfas
Why do you have to listen to today's episode.
00:20 – “There’s a new reality, and there’s a new way… and the people that don’t adopt these new ways will literally find themselves extremely frustrated in the next five years.”
This episode will be about hiring remote employees, based on my experience and the others’, having observed how the seemingly impossible becomes possible these days.
05:23 – “You have to get to the point where you finally realize and accept as a concrete reality that if you're trying to learn how, and trying to do it all yourself, then it's literally never ever going to get done.”
We all dream of having the freedom to live our life while our business runs. In doing business, you need to create a structure that’s independent of you and separate from your identity.
10:01 – “I’m gonna tell you stories to help your mind get through each one so then you can go out and do some of this stuff.”
Here, I give you a list of the tasks you can delegate, along with stories from my own experience, to help you navigate through each one.
13:36 – “And it was like this frustrating thing, because every time we built this out, we tried to have people help us do all the tasks that needed to be done in the business, we're looking for the wrong people.”
The first mistake you shouldn’t do: Hire your nephew or any family member and/or neighbor’s kid.
15:40 – “Your internal customers, your employees, and your assistants, they have to be the right people.”
The second mistake: Pontificating that there’s got to be someone somewhere who wants to make a few extra bucks.
16:25 – “You can literally pile so much on people’s plates that you’ll run them off, and they’ll burn out, and they’ll quit, so you got to be very careful about that.”
The third mistake: Trying to put the turd on someone else’s plate
19:20 – “When you finally discover the solution of hiring these virtual assistants to help you in your business, that’s where the real work starts.”
The fourth mistake: Trying to abdicate the work to someone who obviously sucks at it
29:13 – “The next time there’s something repeatedly frustrating you and your business that you can’t do and you feel handcuffed, ask yourself who, not how.”
Stop asking yourself how you can do things. Ask yourself who are the qualified people that can help you do those things.
33:29 – Q&A portion
Key Takeaways

“You have to get to the point where you finally realize and accept as a concrete reality that if you're trying to learn how, and trying to do it all yourself, then it's literally never ever going to get done.”
“Of all the things that need to get done to build all these structures so you can flow more cash and have more freedom, you need people and software and systems.”
