Hi everyone ...I've been a member for several years and I check in whenever I get the time, but then I forget once I get busy.

Anyway...my name is Leona Martin, owner of A Plus Admin Services. I've been in business since 2000 mainly working locally for clients, but in the last year I've changed that to be more off site assisting businesses and still maintain a few off site businesses since I've been with them for so many years and I don't mind getting out of the house for a few hours a few times a week.

Oh I'm based here in Virginia...I see several Virginians, yay! I'm a mom two a girl (12) and boy (9) who have literally grown up watching me grow my business and slow down too. My husband has been the best supporting me, but does get stressed when things slow down, but that is the nature of things.

My business has changes so much these last few years that now I provide assistance in many areas and love it. Last fall I added Social Media while still providing bookkeeping, office management and more. Loving this Social Media stuff.

Anyway....I'm going to try really hard to be around more often.

Hi Leona, great to see you back on the boards
It's great that you're modeling business ownership and entrepreneurship for your kids, especially at the ages they are now. They must get so much out of seeing their mom own and run a business.

I'll look forward to seeing you around the forums again!
