Besides money, there’s the issue of tiredness. Because it’s one person or just a handful of people responsible for running the small business, it’s easy to become tired because there’s just too much to do and not enough hours in the day to do it all. If a small business owner doesn’t pace him/herself, he/she can get burnt out easily. When that happens, the whole business can fail because there simply isn’t the energy to maintain it.

Next, a small business sometimes has a hard time finding and keeping its customers. Bigger companies have both people and money that can help them thrive with big accounts bringing in big money. Small businesses, however, have to work harder to attract customers. Once they get a steady stream of customers, then they have to maintain contact with them as communication is key. Things like phone calls and emails help do this, as well as face-to-face interactions. Small businesses don’t want to be forgotten but they also don’t want to annoy people, either, by trying too hard to impress others.

Also, sometimes small business owners may have a difficult time motivating employees who don’t like their hours, don’t like their paycheck, and/or don’t like customers!

Finally, small businesses often worry about having more bills than profits.

Since owning and running a small business can be stressful, there’s help available via South Florida’s Peg At Your Service of Coconut Creek/Fort Lauderdale. Peg helps small businesses accomplish time-consuming tasks, like purchasing, bookkeeping, banking, bill paying, handling mail, data input, expense reports, and running errands. She can take care of the mundane stuff, allowing the business to focus on things that matter most.

If you’re a small business that could use some affordable and efficient help, call Peg At Your Service today at 561-908-2004.

People who live in Northern climates like New York and New Jersey often spend their winter months living in Palm Beach County. These “snowbirds” often rent or own a condo, bungalow, or home in Palm Beach County, where they get to enjoy the sunshine and warm temperatures of months like January, February and March. It snows “at home up North,” and they don’t want to shovel, so Palm Beach County becomes their beloved second home.

Did you know snowbirds increase Palm Beach County’s overall population by about 144,000? Peg At Your Service serves all sorts of people, but snowbirds are typically most in need of Peg’s services, such as mail collection, home redesigning, and senior assistance with things like shopping and running errands.

If you’re a snowbird and you have a place in Palm Beach County that you only use three or four months of the year, consider hiring Peg At Your Service to “check in” on the place during the many months you’re not around. Meanwhile, while you are living in South Florida, have Peg come over, take a look at your place, and help you with decor and design so the place becomes more attractive and functional to your liking. She has a great eye for where furniture should go to “open up a room.” And she can even help you shop for the various things you want to bring to your place to decorate it… Many people appreciate having Peg’s learned opinion on such things!

When Palm Beach County snowbirds get to a certain age, it may not be as easy for them to “get around,” which is where Peg is a godsend. She can take care of things like picking up pills from the drug store, shopping for groceries, and/or driving people to their doctor’s appointments.

With a kind and friendly demeanor, Peg becomes like a trusted friend to many snowbirds in need of “extra help” to make their lives easier and more enjoyable in Florida. Call 561-908-2004 to discuss your needs today!

You’ve probably met an older person who likes to say, “I can do it myself!” There are plenty of people over a certain age who are proudly and fiercely independent. They come from a generation where hard work and self-reliance were the norm.

As people age, it’s not unusual for them to end up in a senior home where they’re well cared for by nurses and staff. However, seniors would most likely prefer to stay in their own house or apartment for as long as possible before being “shipped off to ‘the home’.”

How can you help a senior citizen in your life to maintain their independence such that they can still live on their own? Peg At Your Service of Palm Beach County, Florida offers a service which gives assistance to seniors in a helpful way, as needed or everyday depending on the situation. While Peg isn’t a trained/licensed nurse, she certainly can fulfill many duties that a caregiver offers, such as driving seniors to/from doctors’ appointments. Meanwhile, Peg makes a great shopping companion for seniors. If they don’t want to go shopping, Peg can go to the local stores with a list and get the items they want and need. She can also run errands for seniors.

Oftentimes older people have limited mobility. It can be hard to stand, sit, and/or walk for a long time. Therefore, Peg does the walking/driving for them.

Wouldn’t it be nice to know you’ve got a reliable and trustworthy ally like Peg checking in on your mom or dad? Peg At Your Service does both telephone check-ins and personal check-ins.

Summer parties typically involve spending time outdoors. In Florida, that could mean a really hot and sunny day with a surprise rain shower that lasts a couple minutes. If possible, it’s a good idea to have somewhere for shelter from the sun and rain, whether it’s under an awning, tent, or inside a building. It’s also important to have places for people to sit down and relax as well as tables where they can place items like their drinks, purses, or iPads.

When planning a summer party, consider who you’ll invite and what you think they’d like at the party. Peg At Your Service can help with selecting a caterer, making sure service people are there to go around and serve guests their food and drinks, as well as bringing in other amenities like flowers and guest favors to add to the overall atmosphere.

Oftentimes, people like to have a theme, such as a “luau” where people wear beachwear and sip Pina Coladas or a “pirate birthday party for kids” where eye patches and plastic swords get the youngsters all excited. Themed parties are fun and give people a chance to dress up in a way they don’t normally dress. It’s a prudent idea to have a photo booth at these parties so everyone can have fun taking pictures.

Ideally, a summer party is best when it’s well planned, well executed, and there’s plenty of tasty food and drinks for guests. Entertainers, such as jazz trios or jugglers or costumed characters, can add to the delight of guests. Bringing in bounce houses can make kids squeal with glee. It’s always good to have more than less at parties, and anything unusual or “extra” to get people talking can help make the event more memorable.

There are all sorts of summer parties and events that could happen this year– and since they’re all distinctly unique, it’s best to call Peg At Your Service and discuss your wants and needs. Call 954-917-0925 today so you’ll have time to get ready for your party properly.

Have you ever ordered a big ticket item and were told someone needed to be home on a certain date between the hours of 9 and 5 to receive it?

If you’re preparing for a trade show, there are lots of things to think about, including questions to answer like, “Why do I want to participate in this particular show?” and “What might I or my company get out of it?” Trade shows can be great places to promote products as well as network with like-minded people.

When booking trade show space, ask about your potential location on the trade show floor to determine who would be near you, whether it’s a high traffic or low traffic area, and what the space looks like, size and lighting-wise. Consider whether or not you have money in your budget to properly afford attending the show, too.

Who are you trying to reach at the trade show and how can you attract their attention? Oftentimes, people bring papers to set on a table, they sit in a chair behind the table, and that’s about it– boring. However, with the right type of giveaways, you can create some excitement and get more people to come talk with you. Giving away prizes and/or promotional items always helps get people to your table. Some people bring a large wheel for guests to spin to “see what they win.” Others have guests fill out their name and contact info on a card to drop into a box for a later drawing for a nice prize like a free trip or a car.

Trade shows are often used to sell products, but one thing that should not be forgotten is it’s a people-meeting-people event. Therefore, your table needs to be staffed with engaging, outgoing types who have no fear in approaching guests and having conversations with them. Make the guests feel good, and you’ve essentially won them over to you/your side/what you’re selling!

Now trade shows can be fun, but they’re also work. Therefore, if you need help with your trade show table in South Florida, consider hiring Peg At Your Service. Need someone to help with your pre-show prep, such as receiving send-ahead stock and unpacking it? Call Peg At Your Service at 954-917-0925 today.

When Peg was a little girl her mother worked a shift where she was rarely home at dinner time. As an only child, Peg took to cooking dinner for herself and her dad. Rather than dread cooking, Peg took to it like a fish to water and enjoyed preparing food in a creative way. Later in life, her home became the “go to” home for holiday meals as friends and family flocked to her kitchen to see and taste what she was cooking.

Interestingly, Peg ended up living on a sailboat at anchor in the U.S. Virgin Islands for several years. During this time, she cooked aboard many private and charter luxury yachts. The recipes she came up with during her yachting life ended up becoming part of Peg’s cookbook, The Portside Cuisine Cookbook: A Yacht Chef’s Recipe Collection, which is available to buy on amazon.com, where it has received rave reviews.

Combining everyday recipes along with some more elaborate ones, the cookbook also contains recipes from fellow yacht chefs. So, if you’ve ever wondered what rich people eat aboard their yachts in the Caribbean, The Portside Cuisine Cookbook: A Yacht Chef’s Recipe Collection will tell you. Because Peg is both simple and clear with her recipes, you’ll find yourself able to cook just like she did on the yachts.

You should consider hiring Peg to help with various chores you don’t want to do, or don’t have time to do, with the potential chance that there’ll be just enough time for her to share some of her favorite recipes with you. Call Peg At Your Service today at 954-917-0925.

What do you do when mom or dad gets to “that certain age” where they’re no longer able to care for themselves in a way that makes sense to you? Most likely you or someone you trust will end up helping an elderly family member get through each day.

Seniors like to maintain their independence for as long as possible. That said, if you can find a way to lend a hand that’s not making them feel like you’re trying to baby them, you can offer to drive them to doctor’s appointments, go grocery shopping with/for them, and/or help them bathe and do their laundry. Seniors can also get lonely, so even something as simple as a pleasant conversation helps enliven their day.

Oftentimes the adult children of elderly folks are very busy with their work and/or live far away from mom or dad. Peg At Your Service is able to assist seniors in and around Coconut Creek, FL, with some of their day-to-day needs when sons and daughters can’t be there. Keep in mind that Peg is not a licensed or trained nurse, but she is someone who can call and/or look in on the elderly to “check-in” with them. Peg At Your Service can also be their personal shopper or shopping companion. Do they need a ride to and from their doctor’s appointment? Peg At Your Service can do that, too.

Are you looking for someone you can trust to help with mom or dad in Southeast Florida? Help for seniors is just a phone call away. Call Peg At Your Service today at 954-917-0925.
