Why a Personal Assistant May Be Right for You
If you are busy professional that never seems to have enough hours in a day, hiring a Personal Assistant (PA) can be a step in the right direction. With a PA you can be more productive, reduce your stress level, and most of all spend your time on what matters.
Celebrities and famous people have learned to leverage their assistants to get more done in a day. If your disposable income does not allow for a full time employee you could hire an assistant by the hour from a concierge and errand service company. In the last few years these companies are flourishing in every major metropolitan area. Check the International Concierge and Errand association at www.iceaweb.org for a provider in your area.
When it comes to the tasks that you need to delegate, the important questions to ask yourself are
- Do I have the time to do it myself?
- Do I want to complete the task?
- Am I going to complete the task on time?
If your answer is “no” to any of these questions than you should consider delegating the task. Before hiring the assistant decide what tasks you would like to delegate and your budget.
Take the following sample list of tasks that a PA can perform and think how much time you can save by having a PA complete them.
Travel arrangements;
Buying gifts for special occasion;
Car maintenance;
Caring for pets;
Dry cleaning pick up;
Grocery shopping;
Maintaining household, business, and social calendar;
Scheduling all appointments;
Organizing special events;
Handling all email and written correspondence;
Managing bill-paying;
Maintaining all personal and business files;
Maintaining address book;
Writing personal thank-you notes, invitations and greeting cards;
Completing all personal errands;
A good Personal Assistant makes an enormous contribution to the employer's effectiveness and posses numerous professional skills. Once you hire a Personal Assistant you will realize that it is well worth the investment.

Do you ever wish there were more hours in the day?
Do you sometimes wish there were two of you?
Do you daydream about relaxing, but you run out of energy and stress out trying to accomplish all of your errands over
the weekend?
Do you need an extra set of hands to help you with chores, holiday or birthday parties, pets, shopping, endless errands?
Are you a frequent traveler? Craving some yummy cupcakes from Sprinkles Bakery?
Do you need help with a family member while you're at work or traveling?
Do you have pets that need to be walked or groomed?
Disorganized closets? A "to do" list longer than your arm?
Data that needs to be input, calendar management, travel arrangement requests or Internet research that must get done now?
Are you wishing you had more time for personal pursuits?
If you've sighed and answered yes to any of these questions, you're not alone! You
may wonder what is the solution in today's busy world?
Why, it's Consider It Done! of course.

We free up your precious time. We are your own personal concierge service!
Have you ever stopped to consider just how valuable your time really is?
Is it worth gift shopping for hours, taking the car to be serviced, the dog to the groomer, picking up prescriptions, writing out invitations, paying a traffic ticket, waiting in line at the DMV, the post office, shoe repair, dry cleaner or bank, organizing that overstuffed closet while you could be exercising, traveling, or gardening?
How heavenly would it feel to have your home or office organized, out of town company picked up at the airport, groceries bought and put away, the car washed or serviced, forgotten lunches dropped off at the kids' school, Grandma taken to get her hair done, phone calls made, while you get some work done or have lunch with a friend?
How would going to the movies or to the day spa, spending time with friends or family, golfing, or simply relaxing really feel?
Take a moment to ask yourself: How could doing the things you truly want to do change your quality of life?
Consider It Done! gives you back your time at a cost that's hard to beat. We are stress erasers!
Why hire a company like ours instead of a full time personal assistant (employee)?
We have liability insurance and are bonded.
We have been in business for years, we have proven to be experienced and reliable.

There's a measurable advantage to retaining, not replacing excellent employees. Rewarding employees with our errand services increases morale, loyalty, and productivity.
