I have been researching starting a home business. I would like to get feedback on a Girl Friday business. (Running Errands, shopping, party planning,pet care, house sitting, etc.) I am interested in finding out what you think of this service. Would you utilize such a service? Why or Why not? Do you have any suggestions for someone wanting to start a home business. I am interested in all opinions. Thank you.

What can I do next?

I think your idea is a great one ! I use a pool service as well as a maid service because of our hectic schedules, I find it invaluable and just so worth it so that I can enjoy what matters most and that is time with my family. When we go away we use a pet service for our animals, it is so necessary in the Valley where the average family has 2 dogs. Kennels are always full on holidays way in advance, they are expensive and not much fun for your animals being away from their homes. We have a real piece of mind knowing that someone is looking after them with love. I think pet care service is a great idea if you are in town a lot on holidays and you love animals. I personally would not use the errand, shopping because I really enjoy doing those things myself but I would pay you to come cook ! haha just teasing :) Good luck and kudos for having the courage to dream of a home based business.

I think it sounds like a great idea! I too have been trying to think of a way to earn money and be a stay at home mom. Good luck on your venture and let me know how it goes.

Hi T.,
I agree, I think your business idea sound great for those busy people who just don't have the time to do their own errands, especially those with kids. I don't know if I would use the service myself but only because I am a stay home mom so I can do all that stuff myself but if I worked full time, I would surely use your company. Good luck!

hi T... that sounds like a very useful thing... every one needs help with all of that kind of stuff.. i also am trying to start a home based biz.. but am working full time and have a family of my own.. which is difficult to juggle.. here is some info about it.. if this doesn't pan out for ya!! But... i really hope it does cause it sounds like that is definately something people would be able to use and you can make some money off of it...

Good luck!!!

i just recently started in a company that you can work from home, no selling.. no stocking inventory... all you are doing is referring people to this website... its better than it sounds, we are basically joining an organization that sells everyday products that you all ready buy but they are less expensive and better for you and the family... If you are interested let me know.. it is a pretty easy concept and would be more than happy to get in touch with you to share all about it...

:0) Talk to you soon
