As a small business owner, I understand the challenges and time constraints entrepreneurs face. I also recognized that many business owners are so busy that they’re not keeping up with the newest management, online marketing, and customer acquisition opportunities available.

My goal is to provide knowledgeable and tech-savvy marketing and virtual business management that gives you the time to focus on implementing strategies and opportunities for growth

Three things set The 24 Hour Secretary apart from other virtual business support companies:

1.  our accessibility — whenever you call we respond

2.  our diligence — we surpass expectations

3.  we believe your success is our success — and we make every effort to help you succeed.

SHARON WILLIAMS, CHIEF STRATEGIST

My experiences range from being a clerk typist, Executive Assistant and Program Compliance Officer for a local government agency. I also served as a Labor Relations Specialist and rose through the union hierarchy to become its first Black President, serving 7,000 members. (Yes, I’m proud of this accomplishment!)

In 1989 after being laid off, I decided I would never let anyone else determine if I was going to get paid. I opened The 24 Hour Secretary and implemented a business model that eliminated a need to work for any employer again — 24/7 service, 365 days-a-year.
