And sometimes it&#8217;s lonely working your tail off at your own business.</p>
<p>A business assistant can help take away some of that isolation. He or she can serve as a sounding board and may be able to provide perspectives that you have not considered.</p>
<p>And it always helps to have another pair of eyes, another set of hands, and another calculating brain around.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-392" title="business-flyer-typo" src="http://blog.detourservices.com/wp-content/uploads/business-flyer-typo.jpg" alt="sign typo business flyer" width="40%" hspace="10" align="right"/>The picture shows an actual notification that was stuck under my windshield wiper. This brand new business canvassed blocks and blocks of cars with this flyer.
<p>They really wanted to get the word out, but I highly doubt that this is the first impression they wanted to create.
<p>People start their own businesses to do what they love. No one, however, is good at everything.
<p>If you need some help with a quick copyedit run through of a business document, please don&#8217;t hesitate to drop us a line. I have six years of editing experience in the publishing industry and continue to perform these duties for my current clients. We&#8217;ll stop those glaring errors from reaching the light of day.</p>
