Problem solver for billionaires
Brian Daniel is a former personal assistant to ultra-high net worth families, royalty and celebrities. Nowadays, he solves problems for billionaires in so many ways. Brian is a headhunter, private concierge, lifestyle manager and a sort of fixer of unusual problems.
"The issues that need to be problem-solved range from the very small to the gargantuan," says Daniel. "For example, I just recently had a celebrity client contact me for a vintage designer purse that was impossible to get, and I found one in less than a day."

Just the educational aspect of his work costs money
"When clients contact me for help, I have to consult with them to discuss their problems," says Daniel. "That usually takes hours because the issues are often complex, so I have to charge a consulting fee."
In the past, Daniel didn't charge an upfront fee to talk, but then he was losing money because so much time went toward discussions. His upfront consulting fee is just to discuss solving the problem. The execution of a plan has the most business value and is the bulk of the overall cost.

Knowing how to fix problems for the UHNW is a very lucrative industry
Billionaires that contact Brian Daniel for help are often major players of a trillion-dollar industry. And because they are so high profile, they can't follow traditional channels and need a viable alternative for privacy reasons.
From billionaire to trillionaire by solving these problems
"When I solve problems for high-net-worth families, celebrities, and titans that run hedge funds, it requires a great deal of time and ingenuity," says Daniel. "For that reason, I charge an upfront fee that has to be paid whether or not the problem gets solved." Just like an attorney can't guarantee you win a court case; I don't make guarantees either. Most of the time I'm successful, but there are too many unknowns to make a promise.
Ask for help, then the marketplace decides on the price
There is a lot of noise out there in the marketplace. With so many customer experience solutions creating an avalanche of options, the high-profile families that come to Brian Daniel have usually exhausted a lot of other options first.
"When people come to me to hire staff for their households," says Daniel, "they have usually already been to a half dozen other run-of-the-mill domestic staffing agencies with no results. They feel exhausted and they want their problem solved once and for all." And that's where Daniel succeeds -- where everyone else has failed.

The global home security industry is thriving, but clients don't feel safe
Many clients from the most lucrative businesses on earth approach Brian for assistance. "You can be someone like a Warren Buffett and be the king of the stock market, but it doesn't mean that you feel safe at home -- even with the world's best home security system," says Daniel. "Often times, celebrities and billionaires have people in their inner circles they don't trust, and I help them solve problems in that way too."
Daniel gives his rich and famous clients stable access to trustworthy staff for their households: personal assistants, estate managers, and chiefs of staff. The candidates often have very deep experience with strong recommendation letters from previous employers -- not to mention that they pass background checks and sign non-discloser agreements.

How is Brian Daniel able to solve problems for his affluent clients?
Most of the super-rich can simply buy their way out of certain problems, but there are some things that money can't buy. Brian Daniel has a vast social network of contacts that are very good at getting access to information.
For example, the mainstream adoption of private concierge companies gives anyone with internet access and a credit line the ability to make special requests for hard-to-get items, but the average private concierge sitting in a cubical simply doesn't have the knowhow to meet the strategic objectives of the celebrities and billionaires that need exceptional service; and that's where Brian Daniel rises to the occasion.

There are tens of thousands of professionals working in the private service industry who are catering to the whims of this elite and jet-set crowd.
Because of the existing demand by the 1% for access to finite things, the economic value of niche lifestyle management companies like The Celebrity Personal Assistant Network drives incredible innovation to become bigger and better.
