I've spent 0 time in the business/corporate world so I don't know the name for the position I want to hire. I'd like to hire someone who can basically "handle the parts of my business I'm bad at" (which is a lot). Stuff like: *managing assistants *managing my schedule

*handling emails/requests *independently and intelligently researching and working on new business offers for me (projects, collaborations) *do actual project work that I can outsource *helping w/taxes *reduce friction in any way I'd pay a flat rate + % of my income.

I'm inexperienced in interviewing and knowing what to look for; I also don't know the titles that describe the kind of role I need. I also need someone who's willing to work for me as a sex worker. I'd love to hear advice and recommendations on finding the right person.

And I'd love to hear even the basics! I'm a total newbie and oblivious to the ways of Highly Competent Organized People. I also have executive function problems and occasional stupid spirals into 'i can't do this simple task' so a person who can 'handle me' in that would be A+

The person you want is a “Business Manager” Unfortunately many Business Managers in your universe may not be super trustworthy In a perfect world, you’d know someone IRL who owns/manages a small service business you think is well run, the person you want is their #2 right now

So you want at least five people?

one of the things you’re looking for is an Agent

You might want to look to entertainers as your nearest analogue. It's common for big dollar entertainers to have an agent, a manager, a publicist, an attorney, and a personal assistant or two. The first two work for 10% of bookings each usually, the latter three on a fee basis

Chief of staff / operations manager / executive assistant. Framing would depend on a few things, mostly who you want to market to. Happy to help if you want to shoot a DM (my background is in recruiting + I run a recruiting software platform + also hiring this role rn)

PM and I will send over a resume. Or if anything else at least maybe I can help interview on your behalf.

You’re looking for a PA. Easy to find people who say they can do this, hard to find people who do it well, especially wrt following up on collaborations and such. I know someone who’s amazing at it, but she’s in London.
