| What Sets Me Apart |
|
The management of small business runs in my blood. My entire life, I’ve been surrounded by successful entrepreneurs working hard to bring their dreams to life. Landscaping, exterior signs, construction, excavating, interior design, real estate, retail…any of those could have been a perfect fit for me, as they were for the members of my family. But they weren’t. In watching all of these successful businesses grow, I realized that each and every one of them faced a dilemma. At some point in each company’s life, there was a crossroads of sorts; to grow and expand, or to maintain and stay manageable. I became fascinated with the process and the decisions business owners have to make when they come to this crossroads: Grow or maintain. Growth for business owners often means more paper work, more marketing, more client follow up - the very tasks many successful entrepreneurs dread. Yet maintaining status quo often results in stagnation, boredom and the death of the entrepreneurial spirit. It was in the middle of this crossroads that I found the place for my entrepreneurial heart. Managing your day-to-day tasks is what I do best. Whether you need newsletters sent, events planned, websites updated or clients soothed, I know how to get the job done and I enjoy working with you to get your tasks completed. My specialty, however, is helping you take your business to the next level. I’ve managed public relations campaigns, worked in guest relations for The Walt Disney Company and have stood before hundreds of high school students motivating them to do the best they can while in school. As you may have realized, I’m not a typical Virtual Assistant. I am a partner. I am someone who has been there, who knows how hard it is to get out there and be a rainmaker when you have paperwork keeping you at your desk. I know that you didn’t start your business with the intention of spending every waking moment making it work. You want time, you want freedom, you want to concentrate on the parts of your business that get your blood pumping and the ideas flowing; you want a partner who understands what you want, and what you need before you even know yourself. But you don’t want the hassle, the overhead or the paperwork of a full-time employee. I am your answer. |
