“Virtual assistance can enhance your startup’s productivity” says Aike Müller, a startup founder of RMBG in Netherlands who has experienced firsthand the impact of such a service.
Here in conversation with Sunder. P, CEO of GetFriday when posed with this question, “Has it helped you achieve a healthy work-life balance or has it actually made you more productive at work?”, Aike Müller’s honest response sheds light on the real-world benefits and limitations. For startup founders like Aike, where every day is packed to the brim, achieving a healthy work-life balance seems almost mythical. Yet, the introduction of a virtual assistant from GetFriday has allowed Aike to elevate that brim a little higher, enabling more tasks to be completed within the same tight timeframe.
Aike candidly admits that while the virtual assistant doesn’t necessarily free up time for leisure activities like reading a book or taking a walk, it does enhance his overall productivity at work. This nuanced reflection highlights the tangible impact of virtual assistance on a busy startup founder’s life, offering a glimpse into how GetFriday plays a crucial role in managing the chaos and demands of modern work-life dynamics.

Sunder (GetFriday, CEO): Has it helped you achieve a healthy work-life balance, or has it actually made you more productive at work? What is the impact that Get Friday has had on your life?
Aike Müller: I think it is, I think productivity is, I think it’s your, yeah. I mean, especially as a startup founder, your day is filled up to the brim. And there, I mean, there’s no healthy work life balance, I guess. And the virtual assistant allows you to, to have the brim a little bit higher and to get more in a day. But it’s, yeah, it’s not necessarily that you, that I would read a book or do something or go for a walk in the time that the virtual assistant is executing a task.
GetFriday (earlier YMII or YourManInIndia) is a service that was featured and used in the NYTimes best-selling productivity and lifestyle design book ‘The 4-Hour-Workweek’ by Timothy Ferris.
