Carla Kroger, October 2007 MUIB Member Spotlight Winner


Name of business/website and URL: Daily Administration
http://www.dailyadministration.com 

Why did you start your business/website? I started my business because I had a lot to offer others in getting their businesses started and helping others meet and surpass their business goals.

What makes your business/website unique? Unique... well I am able to offer my services to emerging and growing businesses as an extension of their business.  I don't interrupt a house to help a home business and you don't have to set up extra space for me if you have an office.

How did you choose the focus for your business/website? My background is in administration and marketing and this was what was natural for me.  I began assisting local businesses and it just grew from there.

What obstacles have you faced and how have you overcome them? Well in this line of work, once you help one person they refer someone else to you and so on.  There was a time when I was trying to help a lot of people all at once because I did not want to let anyone down by turning them away.  I was stretched into many different directions.  To overcome this "obstacle" I established a team that works with me, and together we are able to keep up with the flow.

What do you feel are the benefits of being a WAHM? The number one benefit is that I am here with my family and I have the flexibility to fully be available to help my clients.

Do you have any specials that you are running right now? I always have discounts for other WAHM's and Non-profits.  I also offer customized plans to fit all budgets. In addition to this for October I am offering 25% off of all web design and 2 free hours to all new clients that sign up for 5 or more hours.

How do you "get the word out" to get visitors to your site/to purchase products? I get the word out mainly through word of mouth.   I also do expos offline, I am a sponsor for several events and I participate in on and offline networking groups.

What advice would you offer to other WAHMs? Keep focused.  It is easy to get discouraged but come up with a plan and steps to achieve that goal.  You might have some small failure along the way but the overall goal is still there.  Just keep working to reach it.

Favorite motto or quote you live by: I don't have a motto or quote.  If I had to choose something I guess it would be to do all things for the glory of God. If you do your best for Him, that is the best you can do.

How do you take time to nurture yourself? I spend time with my family.

How do you balance the many roles you play in life? One at a time.

Why do you feel you should be in the MUIB Spotlight (Do NOT be modest, I know it is difficult to "sell" yourself, but tell us what makes you special and unique!): To be honest I did not expect to be nominated.  I enjoy helping others.  I think that is why I love doing what I do.  Assisting others to succeed by meeting and exceeding their goals just comes natural.  Anytime I can offer assistance I will.
