I have over 20 years' combined experience running nonprofit arts organizations, building custom products and educational content, teaching online, and managing finances.
I run my own businesses so I know what it's like to be the only one doing everything: writing content, updating social media, photographing and listing products, bookkeeping, and more! I myself have hired virtual assistants, so I know firsthand what solo entrepreneurs like you need to effectively do what only you can do.
Why Hire a Virtual Consultant?
Trying to do everything on your own makes it difficult for you to manage your time and focus on what only YOU can do in your business!
Even if you CAN do everything, are there things you really don't LIKE to do? Delegate those tasks!
Have someone else to bounce ideas off of!
A Virtual Consultant is cost-effective, and can provide the support you need for just one project, or a limited time.
