History

Established in 2006.

I was bored doing what I was doing and decided I needed a change. I started my business part time to continue to make money while I was getting my business off the ground. I realized I had a unique skill set. I could help be a lab manager to small start-​up biotech companies so the company could grow. I found a company, quit my part time job and worked for this company for 6 months. Once the contract was done in March of 2009 I was now with out a job and no money coming in.

With no new business on the horizon as the economy was bad, I decided I needed to change the direction of my company again. I belonged to a group and made the offer that I would scan their business cards for $ 10/​hr and send them the file for them to download into a contact manager. Soon I was getting calls from other people asking for other administrative tasks and I was getting more business.

I have grown, ebbed and grown over the last 8 years but have stayed the course. Learning to be flexible is good.

I am originally from Colorado. Joined the Navy in 1982 and came to San Diego for school at NTC. Left the Navy in 86 moved to the San Jose area where I graduated college at San Jose State. I worked in the biotech industry up there and moved with my new husband to San Diego in 1999. I worked in the biotech world until 2006 when I wanted to try something new.

I decided to become an organizer doing homes and businesses. Realized I do not closets became strictly a business organizer. Realizing I had a unique skill set tried my hand at organizing a lab for a start up biotech company Had a contract for 6 months. It ended in March of 2009.

I had no job or money coming in and this is where the administrative part of my biz came into being. I have been doing it ever since and I love helping sole entrepreneurs realize their dreams by helping with the «nuts and bolts» work, day to day grind work so they can be the «visionary» and grow their business.
