Five Balancing Acts for New Business Owners

Thanks http://www.corporatejourney2u.com/business/five-balancing-acts-for-new-business-owners.html for this post.

There are five different services that could be providing some balancing acts for new business owners:

1. Family Care
2. Health
3. Meals
4. Office Help
5. Errands Services

When it comes to family cares matter, all parents of small children should have a backup plan for child care options. There has been many websites that sprung up online to serve parents across the world offering parents an easier way to find child care, elder care and even pet care by area. In most large cities, 24-hour day-care centers are popping up to cater to employees or business owners with odd work hours.

Walk-in clinics,24-hour vets, or pediatric pharmacy windows are some of the health options you can look for if you don’t want the waiting hours in a physician’s office.

Make-and-take meal assembly stores are the rage with dozens of chains, franchises, and stand-alone stores around the country, providing meals for working parent in getting dinner on the table. If you prefer those order on demand food, the Internet has made it easy for workers to order meals online and have it delivered to their door.

Virtual assistants will be a good office help to your small business. Virtual assistants can give administrative support remotely without the cost of a full-time employee. For example, the use of a Small Business Answering Service will save you quite some costing while having the same services as provided by a full time employee.

For your information, most virtual assistants work from their home offices and receive their project instructions by phone, fax, e-mail or even instant message. Other than secretarial services, some virtual assistant may also specialize in marketing, graphic and Web design, IT support or even translations.

Errand services will do the small things (buying pet food, plant watering, post office runs) or the big ones (personal shopping, travel coordination, party planning. There are a few hundred personal concierges throughout the United States.

You should find some creative solutions to conflicting demands, and new strategies to juggle responsibilities from time to time as the business environment is ever evolving with the advance of technology. Whether it is about becoming a millionaire, having multiple streams of passive income, or retire young retire rich, it is important for you to be living a purposeful life.

In summary, an unresolved conflict between partners, joint venturers, shareholders, or limited liability company members may destroy an otherwise promising endeavor. So it is very important to take care of the five balancing acts for new business owners to ensure a bright future for business and successful personal life.

We helped save Easter!


For the last 3 years Chocolates on MY Pillow has provided services to the employees of RSM McGladrey. RSM McGladrey offers our services as a benefit to their employees. Being a leading tax firm, the employees have their hands full the first half of each year. That’s when we step in to offer personal assistance when they need it.

Chocolates on MY Pillow’s owner, Tisha Littlejohn, recently received a thank you email from one of the employees who we recently assisted. Because of our assistance, she said she was able to have family over for Easter dinner. It’s a good feeling knowing we helped someone to that degree. That email put a smile on all the faces of the Chocolates on MY Pillow family.
