You thought you had it under control when you said so long to your day job, but working for yourself sometimes feels like a sinking ship.

Before the sharks start circling, call Gloria Bell of Red Stapler Consulting.

This nice South Philly lady specializes in helping small businesses (yes, even really small) that don’t have the budget for full-time administrative staff (or any staff). And since she’s logged in serious hours as an office manager, she’s a pro at all the tasks you dread.

Her services run the gamut from proofreading and editing to writing press releases and proposals. She’ll handle travel arrangements, take care of client gifts, and oversee your invoicing. And everything’s offered on an a la carte basis, so you can pick and choose what you really need.

Just think of her as your lifesaver.
