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.

And it always helps to have another pair of eyes, another set of hands, and another calculating brain around.

A Busy Time For Detour Services

Posted by Marie on February 3, 2009

Detour Services personal assistants for Chicago's EntrepreneursI know I haven’t posted a blog entry in a while. I’m very lucky to have been extremely busy since the beginning of the year.

With the economic downturn, businesses, especially small businesses, are being more aware of how they spend their money. A service like mine benefits from these choices.

I will try to be more diligent in being more productive here and keeping everyone informed.
