...a virtual solution for your administrative needs

Are you too busy running your business to run your business?

Are you frustrated by your inability to get your administrative tasks done?

Do you need help but don't have the resources to hire someone, even part time?

I can help . . . consider me a virtual resource for your business

When you have too much on your plate, any extra time would be a welcome gift. Unfortunately, unless you have magical powers, this isn't going to happen...unless...you hire a Virtual Assistant.

A solo-entrpreneur (solopreneur) or busy professional faces the task of learning to squeeze every second out of their day. Some get very good at it, often at the expense of something else, usually family and recreation time. Others struggle daily to keep everything under control. In today's business environment, more and more business owners are choosing to operate their business with a holistic mindset, including not only the mind, body and spirit connection but the connection to promoting other business owners to create a win-win situation for their communities.

So, how do you run your business, cultivate it and make it grow without spending long hours at your office and time spend away from your family?

Let's take a quick look at two options.

• Option A: You can hire an office assistant, either full or part time.

  You decide what skills you desire, post your job opening and get ready for the large task of sifting through resumes and interiewing possible candidates, once or maybe twice. After two or three weeks you hire the best candidate and begin the training. (Don't forget the new office space, the new desk, a chair, paper supplies and a computer.) Training a new employee will take weeks, in some cases, months before everyone gets comfortable and in the swing of things. You have accomplished your goal of getting office help so you can focus on growing your business.

  The financial cost of hiring a new employee (payroll, taxes, benefits, training, equipment and office space) will be high, especially in today's economic climate. Keeping your business growing and thriving is even more important because now you have an employee to think about.

• Option B: You can partner with A Virtual Resource.

  A Virtual Resource provides administrative skills in a virtual environment. Data processing, contact management, marketing materials, internet research, and website management are among the services offered on a one-time/occasional basis, a project-by-project basis or a weekly/monthly basis. No office space and equipment are needed because I work in my office, using my equipment. I'm also self-employed so you save money on taxes and benefits.

In short, A Virtual Resource is the small business owner/entrepreneur's answer to their staffing needs without all the costs of hiring in-house.
