What a Typical Work Week Look Like For Us | AWIR with Jaime and Sara
Bottleneck Distant Assistants CEO Jaime Jay and COO Sara Knox help business owners by working hard in finding them the best distant assistants for them. They make everything easier but, have you ever wondered how they do it amazingly? Join them today as they give a little sneak peek at what a typical work week looks like for them. They also share the challenges they have in leading and running a business.
Typical Work Week
Sara shares that they focus on individual tasks during Mondays, so they don’t schedule many meetings. For the rest of the weekdays, Jaime has back to back meetings while Sara works in the background. Additionally, Sara shares how she helps Jaime when he’s super busy:
“He’s concentrating so much, and I can hear his energy. It’s infectious. I can hear him laughing and bantering back and forth with whomever he’s talking to. I just love to hear that so, I like to take care of him out there and do what I can to make it make his day easier for him.” – Sara Knox
Workspace Set Up
In line with what a typical work week looks like for Sara and Jaime, they share their workspace set up and how they get to work on it. Jaime says that Sara’s workspace looks like a jungle because it’s filled with plants with just a little wall. Additionally, Sara shares that Jaime found a new social media platform to send messages called Clubhouse: Drop-in Audio Chat:
“If you guys have an apple device and you’re not on Cubhouse, let me know. I think I have a couple of invites left. It’s audio-based. People can talk, make statements, ask questions, and anything like that.” – Jaime Jay
Reaching Out for Teammates
Sara says that many people are having a hard time to admit vulnerability. One of the challenges they had was the difficulty of communicating with distant assistants that are a little off. Also, she says that it’s okay to be a little off because everyone is not perfect and we’ve all got flaws but there should always be communication.
“We don’t want to pry personally if there’s a personal challenge or something like that. But the second we find out that something’s a little bit off, it’s really important for us to address the issue.” – Jaime Jay

Bio:
Jaime and Sara run a business that helps business owners alleviate the mundane details of their daily lives that free them up to do their best work. The company is called Bottleneck Virtual Assistants.

Sara and Jaime went out on their back porch on this beautiful sunny day in Springfield, MO. From their back deck, they talk about all the workflows they are putting in place, building a great culture within their organization from a distant relationship – or remote-based environment. They discuss the challenges, but they also enjoy the successes.
They have recently launched the ‘ALL NEW BOTTLENECK’ in a brand new category called ‘DEDICATED DISTANT ASSISTANTS’. Bottleneck Virtual Assistants is the world’s first Dedicated Distant Assistant company.

About Jaime Jay
Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.
Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.
He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.
When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.
He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.
He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.

Jeff Peñaflor2022-09-14I started last March 24, 2021 as a Dedicated Distant Assistant and it was an awesome experience. In this new journey, as Security Administrator of Bottleneck Distant Assistants, I have been supported by the team, A LOT !!!! All help that I need, the whole team is there to support me. I know that there are a lot of room for improvements with my skills and what I know, but because of BNDA, I became equipped with all the weapons I need to conquer the daily challenges especially with my tasks. With BNDA, they will not just help you to aim high, but soar the skies!
Tinoe D2022-09-09I don't remember the last time I loved what I was doing until Bottleneck came into the picture. I love working for bottleneck, they are professional.

Ma. Edeliza Silot2022-09-07Aside from the knowledge gained, the trainers are highly commendable.
Sara Knox2022-09-07What an awesome business! Finally, a way to hire the RIGHT person for my administrative tasks and they are remote! No office space to consider, W2's, 1099's or payroll. Jaime and his team of remote workers are top-notch! I hired my first assistant in May. I recently suffered a motorcycle accident and it left me unable to work for 2 weeks. But my assistant stepped right in to guide our CEO on all matters financial. It’s so nice to have that stress eliminated from my life!
