Kinan 🇱🇧

It's finally time to announce that @imakeBADads and @andrehaykaljr joined RemotelyX as partners Here’s how our vision “Hiring 10,000 Lebanese Talents” brought us together: A year ago, this was just a dream What began as a simple favor—helping friends connect with the right talent—quickly evolved into something much bigger Andre was one of those friends I helped him hire several incredible Lebanese remote talents for his company (Fun fact: My brother was his first remote Lebanese hire!) The proactivity, grit, and dedication of Lebanese talent stood out from the rest: → US workers are skilled but expensive → Asian workers are more affordable but often not the right fit When Andre and others faced these two extremes, Lebanese talent emerged as the perfect middle ground Lebanese professionals are skilled, committed, affordable, fluent in English, and deeply aligned with Western culture Helping Andre made me realize that this wasn’t just a favor anymore—it was a business opportunity waiting to be seized And so, RemotelyX was born We knew many founders faced the same challenge, and the solution was clear: hire Lebanese remote talents Starting a new company is never easy, though We encountered our fair share of hurdles At a critical moment, when leads dried up, Andre tweeted on X, vowing never to hire a VA outside of Lebanon The tweet went viral for weeks in our community Leads poured in, and our conversion rate shot up to 90% But the best part was yet to come Two weeks later, Eddie saw the tweet while it was still trending He was about to sign a contract with a similar agency in South America but canceled everything at the last minute Instead, he bought equity in our company Eddie walked away from a 7-figure deal for just one hour a month—not for the money, but for the vision Hiring 10,000 Lebanese talents had always been his dream, but as a serial entrepreneur, it felt out of reach With two dedicated co-founders by his side, it wasn’t just a dream anymore—it was a tangible goal

Your competitors are in constant motion. Each strategic hire they make is a stride forward, a leap towards progress. Keep your edge, prioritize talent, invest in it, and ensure your business grows.

Turn your camera on. Engage. Your team isn't just a list of names; they're your business's backbone. Their growth and understanding of the business mission ties directly to your effectiveness as a leader.

You're the assistant in your agency, and you're overpaid, and you suck 🗣️ Not too long ago, as an entrepreneur Most of my time was spent on the actual fulfillment of the service I used to spend around 6hrs a day doing minuscule tasks that didn't help my business at all It was so bad that I was losing sleep because I was so involved in the small things I had a team of 6 at the time, but things were nowhere near optimized There was no way I could trust my team to do things without me micro-managing I hated life as an entrepreneur That all changed when I joined @clientascension As soon as I watched @andrehaykaljr's videos on operations It all clicked 🤯 The first thing I did was hire an EA/CSM I realized then that 80% done by someone else is a 100% awesome Ever since then, I have ONLY worked on things that GIVE me energy And I'm much more relaxed when delegating work To all the perfectionists out there: You have to lower your standards Because to assume anybody else without the context and experience in life you've lived Is going to be able to do it just like you That doesn't make any sense whatsoever Nobody can do it like you... and that's okay. At the end of the day If you're an entrepreneur and you don't have an assistant You are one, and you're overpaid

Evaluating solely based on cost is shortsighted. Talent might come with a price tag, but its ROI in innovation, efficiency, and growth is unmatched. Think long-term.

Create an environment of innovation with a diverse and highly motivated team Prioritize strategic hiring so your business thrives in the dynamic market Adaptability is your greatest asset

You're clearly missing the big picture if you're complaining about this. These people make way less for way more work and brutal conditions. We need more of this. There's a world of talent in less privileged countries just waiting for these opportunities.

Every leader has strengths, but no one excels at everything. A Chief of Staff might be the missing piece to unlock your business's full potential.

Every business leader should know: Your hours are gold. Each moment on tasks that can be delegated is a slight to your own value. Cherish your time, and allocate wisely.

Word of mouth is the most potent form of marketing Nothing else compares to it And it costs you nothing to get it going All you need is a great offer and top-tier fulfillment

Most people won't know what to do if they gained a week back of their time 🗣️ I've spoken to many entrepreneurs who are making millions of dollars yearly When you see them operate, you'll notice what's different about them They are immediately buying back their time ⏳ They're building a team underneath them so that they can express their creativity And do the things that only they can do Things that move the needle But Kinan These people are millionaires How can I do that when I'm just starting off? It's simple... LOOK AT YOUR CALENDAR You have to ask yourself what are the things I'm doing that 🔻 - Take my energy - Have the lowest ROI - Cheapest to hire for That's how you should start hiring You should never hire somebody to the side or above you Hire for the bulk of draining hours that come out of your calendar

It's not just about having a team. It's about having the RIGHT team.

I’ve always looked down on SUVs But Jeeps are pretty fun ngl I’ve had this for 4 months now Some of the most fun I’ve had driving What do you think about jeeps?

People often hesitate to hire VAs due to concerns about accountability for deliverables. That's precisely why we turned the process into a "Plug & Play." You'll never lose sleep wondering if our VAs are on task. Your peace of mind is our commitment.

Excellence is attainable when you refuse to settle for mediocrity. Your team is the driving force behind your business. Invest in top-tier talent to set the stage for unparalleled success.

You're not truly leading as a CEO if you're caught up in your clients' work and daily company chores. To truly lead, you must hire and delegate. Otherwise, you're just a highly skilled employee limiting your company's potential growth.

Do you have allies who cheer for your success? Those who'll celebrate you even when the room's silent. Those pushing you to elevate yourself. Those genuinely joyful for you, not clouded by envy or schemes. If not, replace your current circle.

I've been on many calls where I advised against hiring a VA. Instead, I guide them to optimize their operations. It's not just about sales. It's about genuine connections. Prioritize value over transactions.

Each hire is a reflection of your business's ambition. Choose those who don't just fit your present but also your future.
