Time to do the things that make you happy?

I have just been on Radio 2’s Popmaster with Zoe Ball – I missed out on the final with a tiebreak question but enjoyed every minute of it. I was able to take time out from my busy schedule and do something I wanted to do!
If you want to free up time for the small things that make you happy, but cannot because your life is disorganised – call in the help of a Freelance Secretary! I am not just around to do the basic secretarial job ... I have never done just the basics. Get in touch and we can spend 30 minutes (FREE of charge) discussing how I can best help you.
You never know, this time next week you will be in a position to do something you have always wanted to do - but haven’t had the time ... until now!

Too many Chiefs?

All we seem to hear about these days are "non-jobs" in the councils and large firms. What is a “non-job” I only know of “job-jobs”!!! Or is this a case of too many managers – not enough staff? Too many chiefs and not enough Indians ...? Well if you need more indians - I am one who certainly loves to work on whatever the Big Chief (Boss) says! OK so fire starting may not be a role but fire stopping might be – making sure those urgent matters are dealt with in a timely matter and those fire risk paper piles are filed away and put into a workable system … So if you are a Big Chief with a reservation (desk/room) that needs clearing call in the help of this little Indian (freelance secretary) who will work for as many hours as you need to sort you out and can then come back whenever she sees a smoke signal (email or telephone call). All types of reservation clearing considered!

It's Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day to all the past and future users of my secretarial services - you are the people who either currently know and will know my love for the office life!
Those horrendous unloved paper piles are my daily challenges! Don't hide away those overfilled filing cabinets (which no doubt have the paper laying down inside to them to make more paper fit in!) or those bulging boxes full of papers and receipts!
Let me loose on those horrible admin jobs you dislike so much and I will create a system you will be happy to use. I only charge for the hours I work - and you can (if you wish) share my love of the office - or else have me in at regular intervals to do a smaller version of the original sort out.

Don't let your love for your job wither ...

When St Valentine's Day lurks everyone thinks of showing their love to someone else! Why not show some love to yourself?
Are you either working more but enjoying it less or just not enjoying most days at your work place?
Are you constantly thinking about all the other options life has to offer?
We spend a huge portion of our life at work so why not make that time as professionally and personally rewarding and fulfilling as possible? And at the same time having time to enjoy life outside of work! I personally love the work that I do and it makes my day when my clients see the finished article - the perfect working environment and systems! You have nothing to lose, and potentially a great deal to gain, by spending some time exploring what I can do for either your home or business office. You can then spend time exploring your interests! My belief is that everyone should love what they do at work.

But you are working and not playing rugby so don't be floored by the amount of paperwork in your life - call for the help of a sub ... a freelance secretary who will come in sort all of the paperwork - hourly rates are available so you will not be floored by the cost - but you may be floored by the finished result! Go on give me a try!

Bounce into your work like a rabbit?

They say Chinese Year 2011 will be a placid year, very much welcomed and needed after the ferocious year of the Tiger (2010). We should go off to some quiet spot to lick our wounds and get some rest after all the battles of the previous year. But being placid doesn't mean you can't bounce into action like a rabbit. Get ready for the year ahead by planning your year. Whilst planning your year - think about your staffing levels - if you do not have any staff and cannot afford them then I am a very affordable alternative. Payable by the hour I will work whatever hours are needed - no holiday pay, sick pay or need to invite me to the summer party!
By the way I am worth hiring – as a Monkey – “Very clever, but mischievous. Love a challenge and can wriggle out of difficult situations by thinking through difficult problems. Highly successful and well-liked.”
