Let's Get It (Together)

About Us

Get Time Back On Your Side.

*Say goodbye to double-booking your calendar, writer's block on copy for literally everything, missed deadlines, chaotic cloud storage, mismanaged finances, lost passwords, and hours spent on research that could’ve been spent growing your biz.

You decided to work for yourself to gain some freedom, right?

Maybe you thought that being your own boss meant you would:

work fewer hours (not more);
spend quality time with your partner, your kids, and your friends;
relax on the beach, in a massage chair, or on a plane;
enjoy more nights out, mornings off, and afternoons happily spent, well, living a full life.

Some quick math for ya:

24 hours in a day x 7 days = 168 hours

8 hours of sleep x 7 days = 56 hours

According to INC, over 25% of small business owners work more than 60 hours per week! Where the **** did all that freedom go?!

The secret's out: everyone needs an assistant.

And that overflowing and unkempt to-do list of yours shouldn’t be keeping you from making kick-ass sales left and right!

Sound like you? Not for long.

My name is Alexander Agent.

(yes, that's my real last name)

I'm a Systems, Organization, and Automation Expert.

I started Pain in the Assistant because I— like you— wanted to generate as big of an impact as possible in my community and in the world-at-large (anddd calling myself “boss” isn’t so bad either!). 😉

So I bought a standing desk, made a ~cute~ latte ☕️ (then second, then third, then fourth, and so on) with my godsend Nespresso machine, and got to work crafting a company culture that fit my queer-AF mold and a business strategy that I’ve implemented and seen work at several other companies.

Running a marathon in the second hilliest city on the planet? Yeah, I did that. 😅

We're not like other VA agencies. 💁‍♂️
And we can prove it.

No. 01

We Empower.

We will teach you— for free— how we do every single task in our repertoire. If you want to DIY, go for it. Empowerment means ensuring we are all equally capable. We’re always here to help when you need us. Just say the word.

No. 02

We Create.

Content, solutions, opportunities for learning, growth, and fun... and if joy, happiness, enthusiasm, and positivity aren’t in the mix, then we won’t be there either. We’re Pain in the Assistant, for crying out loud!

No. 03

We Advocate.

More important than anything else, we stand up and speak out. Relationships are at the forefront of everything we do. That means we value our clients, our team members, and every single person of every color, race, gender, sexuality, height, weight, nationality and beyond-- including ourselves! While every creative and entrepreneur defines success differently, we consider ourselves winners when we brighten your shine.

No. 04

We Integrate.

Everything is connected. By finding relative links between the problems of our clients and the proven solutions we've seen time and again, we are able to confidently provide customized recommendations and successful results for everyone.

How does this work?

Step 01

Check out our services and put together your own one-of-a-kind package, or hire us by the hour. When you apply to work with us, we'll go over every detail. You won't be disappointed.

Step 02

Using LastPass, securely provide us with access to the software we’ll need to get shakin’. You’ll be amazed at how quickly we make your life easier and begin to improve the systems you already have in place.

Step 03

Take a step back, and smile at your empty ‘To-Do’ List. Go celebrate with ice cream (and splurge on a waffle cone to keep the ball rolling with all the excellent choices you’re making lately!).🍦

You know who we are. Now, see what we can do.

Aha! We've made our way to the crossroads. Sometimes a decision is the exact kick-in-the-rear that we need. There are no wrong choices as long as we make progress.

Contact us if you have any questions, or you can buckle-down (or buckle-up, depending on what’s motivated you to come this far) and take the first step to regain your freedom as an entrepreneur.
