Months ago, when Poe and I decided that I should stay home, there were very good reasons involved.  Mainly – the gist is, I can’t do anything productive for our family, when I’m away 11 hours a day.  Two kids who need me.  My elderly parents next door.  The slack my husband was picking up was making it difficult on him at his job.  I just needed to be home.

But, as we all know…  Money simply doesn’t grow on trees.  I still need to bring money in.

But we decided that the day job has got to go.  I need to be physically located at home.  So, we took the plunge, and I only have 2 1/2 more weeks to go.

But that whole Money on Trees thing is still there.

I started thinking about what I’m good at.  Crafts?  Well, yes, but no.  They’re not good enough for public consumption in my opinion.  Homemaking?  Well, no.  I mean my children are fed, clothed, educated, and semi clean.  I’m doing something right.  But – I’m still learning.  So, no.  Writing?  Yes.  Sort of.  The things I’m involved in are not income generating, and I’m not interested in writing SEO articles per se.  MLM?  NO.  Been there, done that.  In addition, I spent additional time home – and I hate selling.

Ahhh.  But there is one thing I’m smashing at.  Assisting.  I’ve been assisting in some capacity or another since I was 16 years old.  For the record, that means I’ve been assisting for 17 years.  The last 10 years have been at the executive (Presidents, Vice Presidents, & CEO’s) level.  I’m good at it.

And so, THAT’S what I’ve been working on for a while… Starting my Virtual Assistant business.  The official launch date is November 1st.

My focus is on small businesses.  That means – freelance writers, freelance blog writers, Etsy store owners, Mom-owned businesses.  All those people with too much paperwork, and not enough time.

If you love me – pass my name around would ya?
