MUST BE LOCATED IN AUSTIN TEXAS
ABOUT THE JOB
The purpose of the Personal Assistant/House Manager role is to make Chandler less stressed & more productive in both his personal and professional life. You’re in charge of “running his life” when it comes to anything that happens at his home.
If it doesn’t have to do with generating revenue or developing the team, Chandler shouldn’t be doing it. Anything that can be taken off of his plate, should be.
This frees up Chandler’s time to work on high leverage activities that drive the company forward…creating growth, jobs, and opportunity for everyone involved…and changing more lives through books. This also allows Chandler to “turn off” during personal time & recharge so that he can give 110% while working on the business.
You’ll be working with Chandler directly inside his home in Austin (near the Pennybacker / 360 bridge). He is often working from his office and unavailable / on meetings so you’ll also be working with his Executive Assistant.
Daily workflow = recurring task checklist, one off tasks added to the whiteboard or Asana, and any other tasks assigned directly from his EA or Chandler.

ABOUT SELFPUBLISHING.com:
Click here to check out a video from our CEO Chandler Bolt to find out what it’s like to work at SelfPublishing.com
SelfPublishing.com teaches people how to write, market & publish their first book in as little as 90 days.
We provide people with more opportunities, confidence & income through publishing a book.
Our program is by far the best on the market which is why we have one of the highest student success rates of any online training company. We genuinely care about the success of our students and provide a great avenue for them to be successful.
Our company is driven by 2 unique viewpoints:
- It’s not about the book. It’s about what the book does for you.
- In going through the process, our students learn a lot about themselves and conquer fears, challenges & limiting beliefs they never knew existed.
They’re also surprised by all of the opportunities that pop up once their book is out there.
The purpose of our company is to disrupt the publishing industry and show people that self publishing is not only an option, it’s the BEST option.
The publishing industry is broken. The big publishers are antiquated and inefficient. They take advantage of the people doing the hard work…the authors. Our company exists to show people there is a better way…
…a way that doesn’t involve: using a publisher, wasting 2 years of your life, giving away all of your creative liberties, giving away all of your book royalties, and relying on a publisher that doesn’t do any marketing for your book.
