Life After.....
With today's economy, so many people are still facing the trials and tribulations of being let go from a major corporation or having their work hours reduced according to the business needs of the company, which in turn leads to mental stress and anguish of not knowing how the ends of going to meet each month. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the current unemployment rate is 9.1% 9 (reported on October 7, 2011.)
Which leads many to ask themselves the question of "Is there life after being laid off due to unforseen circumstances?" Yes, there is! There has been an increase of the development of home based businesses since the demise of the stock market. Many men and women are finding the complete joy of being self-employed, working their own hours to fit the needs of their families and mainly, not feeling the pressures of working hard and being underpaid.
In the world of home based businesses, there are many options to explore; everything from photography to dog walking. Being in business for yourself allows one to write their own journey and destiny when it comes to earning to income for survival. Don't sell yourself short on what you are capable of doing, explore your options and research what to see products and services are at need right now.

De-Clutter
What is the TRUE meaning of clutter? The dictionary defines it as "to fill or cover with scattered or disordered things..."
In an office setting, clutter will become your worst enemy if you allow it to. Your desk can easily become cluttered throughout the work day and you probably have no idea how it got there. You start off the morning right but by lunch time, your work space is covered with piles of paper, pens, file folders and other STUFF that you are not using all at once. If you have not paid attention to it, the visible sight of your work area being cluttered and messy creates mental stress on you, which is not good for production reasons.
Learning how to control your clutter on a daily basis is an acquired habit. Your desk top should only supplies and items that you'll be using for a particular task within your reach. Once you are done with those items, put them back where they belong. i.e. in a desk drawer, a specific or designated area. For example, supplies such as staplers, tape dispensers and scissors are items that should be tucked away in a drawer, Once you are done using the specific item, make it a point to place it back where it goes. This will free up space on your desk.
Controlling clutter is an important part of keeping your office and work space balanced.

Introduction
Greetings small business owners and entrepreneurs:
I am so excited about building my virtual/personal assistant business. After years of working for a major company as an administrative assistant and being laid off because my job was outsourced to another country, I felt it was time to put my skills to use on my own terms and help those in need.
Being a personal assistant is a way to fullfill my desire to provide administrative support to those in business for themselves; they don't have the time to complete the neccessary back office tasks and well, let's face it...they really don't want to be bothered with the chore. That's where I come in. By allowing me to relieve the stress of administrative duties, all is well in the business world.
