AssistU is proud to put Cynthia Morse in the spotlight!
My name is Cynthia Morse, and I own and operate Virtually At Your Service from my home in Deerfield, New Hampshire. My doors opened for business in August 2003, and I have been enjoying my new career ever since. I live with my wonderful, supportive husband Andy and my mischievous but lovable lap cat Alexis.
My journey began when I was the Marketing Administrator for a technology company. On my lunch break one day, I was reading Office Pro, a magazine I receive as part of my membership with IAAP, the International Association for Administrative Professionals. In the magazine was an article written by Stacy Brice, President and Chief Visionary Officer of AssistU. This article opened my eyes to a whole new world. I had been unhappy for quite some time in the corporate world, but did not know exactly why. Here was my answer in black and white! What I had been looking for was a new, bold career move in which I could utilize all of the skills I currently had, and yet at the same time could be my own boss. I was very excited, and when I got home that night, I immediately began researching Virtual Assistance. I applied for and got accepted to AssistU's Virtual Training Program, and successfully launched my business after graduation from the program that summer.
Although I am still in the growing phase of my business, I am learning so much every day about working virtually and about attracting my ideal clients. I love supporting my clients, and knowing that I can help to make a difference in their lives. I love working with busy professionals who value family and personal time as well as having a successful business. I believe in hard work and rewarding yourself with plenty of fun and R&R, and in having a balanced life. Having a sense of humor is also extremely important to me, and laughter really is the best medicine!
My seventeen-plus years in the administrative field have prepared me with valuable experience to help my clients succeed in their businesses. I am a quick learner, and am always updating my skills, keeping an open mind for newer and better ways to get things done.
Back a few years ago, I never would have realized that I'd be where I am today. The thought of being financially independent continues to motivate me, as does meeting and partnering with wonderful clients whose success I am able to be a part of.
