When you start out in business you never really anticipate the amount of stress you go through in your first few years.
I have been trading since December 2007 and have gone through highs and lows, ups and downs, Ive felt ecstatic, tired, happy, passionate, enthusiastic, annoyed, determined and stressed!
There are a few things that really gets me through the stressful times, bearing in mind these stresses are usually out of our control.....
Support from my friends and family and one fantastic boyfriend!
My passion, dreams and belief in what I am aiming for
Relaxation time, either getting my hair and nails done or general pampering
Knowing that we have to work hard and go through tough times to reach the amazingly good times!
We work with business owners of all sizes and we understand what its like to be in business and ride the rollercoaster that all business owners ride! It can be a stressful one at times and one of our missions is to be here for our clients to support them throughout.
If you are a business owner who has just spent their weekend on their bookkeeping or sending out a marketing mailshot, we can help you, we are experts in admin and bookkeeping and can usually complete your tasks in a lot less time.
We can also recommend a beauty salon, hairdressers, therapy centre and fantastic restaurants to relax in!
Dream big,
Miriam

Sitting in the office looking at my peeling skin from my lovely Mexican tan, it dawned on me that almost 50% of our clients are on holiday in August, thats a lot of work to look after, which keeps us happy :-)
But what happens to the small business owner whos staff take their usual summer holidays for on average of two weeks between July and August? If they dont plan carefully and have systems in place to ensure that their business runs smoothly without key team members, things could start to fall apart.
As a business owner, my favourite word is peace of mind, I know what it feels like to constantly worry and stress. Unanswered phone calls, emails sitting in your inbox for days and clients starting to feel unimportant. This is where we can help!
We can answer all of your telephone calls and then text/email you with the message, most of the time we deal with the call and send you an email to let you know what we have done.
We can monitor your emails and deal with what we can, through our years of experience and excellent business sense and knowledge we can generally deal with your emails and respond on your behalf.
We can also look after your mail (remember that square shaped envelope that get delivered once a day!).
We basically act as your business support and can deal with however much you want us too.
Trust me, it really helps you relax whilst lying by the pool, the last thing you want is to spend £££ on internet charges replying to each and every email and having to return and even answer telephone calls on holiday :-)
