AdminProf.com, a One-Woman Endeavor That Turned a Simple Idea into a Successful Website Service.

As an administrative assistant Susan Silva decided to build a website. Like many who want to do business on the web, she instantly thought ecommerce. For weeks she racked her brain trying to come up with something original. She bought an easy to remember URL www.adminprof.com and continued to think. Finally, she came to the conclusion there were too many ecommerce sites out there and put her ideas of creating her little niche on the web aside.

Then one day at work she had a project and opened up the web and went to her bookmarks. It was then she had one of those moments and thought, "Wow, it sure would be cool to put these in one spot on the internet."

At her last place of employment Susan was fortunate to work with many wonderful people. The Administrative Professionals of the company where she worked came together to form a group named ACE (Assistants Creating Excellence). Once a month they would meet over lunch and brainstorm, share, and collaborate on information pertinent to them. The topics ranged from company info, training, personal enhancement, streamlining ideas, sharing resources and contacts.

Most importantly they shared experiences. That is when the idea came to her: between the two concepts 1) Internet resources and info and 2) information from Administrative Professionals all over, she could create a useful website for office professionals of all types.

AdminProf.com was created in August of 1999. It has grown to include resources and articles on careers, links to useful sites, tutorials on software, information on how to start your own Virtual Business and much more. AdminProf.com has monthly articles from experts on Virtual Assisting, Time Management and how to be a better Administrative Professional. Susan makes her living has a Virtual Assistant working for several companies in Northern California but dedicates her free time to the working on and continually improving the website.

Susan’s goal for AdminProf.com is to make a website that viewers find a useful tool and a fun site to visit.

I totally support Susan’s website and endorse her efforts on behalf of Administrative Professionals.

Drop in and visit awhile at www.adminprof.com/ or contact Susan directly at susan@deskdemon.com for more information on any topics within AdminProf.com.

Notice of Website Changes:

Susan offers the following,

“Well, let me start by saying there are exciting things happening! You may be a bit surprised when you open the homepage. It is not what everyone is used to seeing! But change is inevitable and though it can take you back a bit, change is good."

"AdminProf.com has been my pet project for over 4 years. It has evolved beyond a project into a passion that I enjoy working on and improving. I truly believe the quote by Confucius, and I know I have found that. But ... (there is always a but!) there is only so much I can do on my own. In comes DeskDemon.

DeskDemon is a website with the same dedication to the profession as AdminProf.com. It has been predominantly UK based but has many viewers in the US and has a US section.

DeskDemon contacted me and discussed DeskDemon's goals as well as AdminProf.com's goals and came to a conclusion both websites have the same goals. So, I decided to take the position of the US Editor. Clare Bodel heads up the UK portion as the UK Editor."

"What does this all mean for AdminProf.com? To be honest, AdminProf.com is an extension of me. It has been my time, thoughts, work and passion. Nothing will change except the look and it will be the DeskDemon URL. I will be putting the same effort and dedication I have put into AdminProf.com into DeskDemon, but with the support and collaboration of a group of really terrific people. In the short time I have been with DeskDemon I have already been able to improve the Virtual Assistant Database!"

"Now I have resources I never dreamed of working on my own. It is really exciting. It is still a very personal project for me and I will be adding my personal touch over time.”

Drop in and learn more about the changes at www.adminprof.com/ or contact Susan directly at susan@deskdemon.com for more information.

Setting a Pitiful Example: Twenty-six Warnings to Heed *

This is the article to which I refer in my webinars. Please feel free to print, publish, or distribute it as you see fit. I only ask that you keep my Resource Box and links intact.

By Etienne A. Gibbs, MSW

To: All Parents [and Employers and Managers]

From: Your Child [Employee]

Date: The present time

1. Don't spoil me. I know quite well that I ought not to have all I ask for. I'm only testing you.

2. Don't be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer it; it lets me know where I stand.

3. Don't use force with me. It teaches me that power is all that counts; I will respond more readily to being led.

4. Don't be inconsistent. It confuses me and makes me try harder to get away with everything that I can.

5. Don't make promises you cannot keep them. It will discourage my trust in you.

6. Don't fall for my provocations when I say and do things just to upset you. Then I will try for more such "victories".

7. Don't be too upset when I say, "I hate you". I don't mean it, but I want you to feel sorry for what you have done to me.

8. Don't make me feel smaller than I am. I will make up for it by behaving like a "big shot".

9. Don't do things for me that I can do for myself. It makes me feel like a baby and I may continue to put you in my service.

10. Don't correct me in front of people. I'll take much more notice when you talk quietly with me in private.

11. Don't try to discuss my behavior in the heat of conflict. For some reason my hearing is not very good at this time and my cooperation is even worse. It’s all right to take the action required, but let's not talk about it until later.

12. Don't try to preach to me. You’d be surprised how well I know what's right and wrong.

13. Don't make me feel that my mistakes are sins. I have to learn to make mistakes without feeling that I am no good.

14. Don't nag. When you do, I shall have to protect myself by appearing deaf.

15. Don't demand explanations for my wrong behavior. I really don't know why I did it.

16. Don't tax my honesty too much. I am easily frightened into telling lies.

17. Don't forget that I love and use experimenting. I learn from it; so put up with it.

18. Don't take too much notice of my small ailments. I may learn to enjoy poor health when it gets me much attention.

19. Don't protect me from consequences. I need your guidance to learn from my experiences.

20. Don't put me off when I ask honest questions. When you continue to do so, you'll find that I'll stop asking and start seeking my information elsewhere.

21. Don't answer my "silly" or meaningless questions. I just want you to keep busy with me.

22. Don't ever think that it is beneath your dignity to apologize to me. An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm toward you.

23. Don't ever suggest that you are perfect or infallible. It gives me too much to live up to.

24. Don't worry about the little amount of time we spend together. It is HOW we spend it that counts.

25. Don't let my fears arouse your anxiety; then I shall be afraid. Show me courage instead.

26. Don't forget that I can't thrive without lots of understanding and encouragement. But I don't need to tell you that, do I?

Treat me with the respect you treat your friends, then I'll learn to be respectful, too. I learn more from a model than from a critic.

Remember: When you maximize your potential and you teach (by example) your children or employees to maximize theirs, everyone wins. When you don't, we all lose.

* Dr. Christine Wood:

According to How to Get Kids to Eat Great and Love It! by Christine Wood, M.D., the risk of developing degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes and obesity can be significantly reduced through proper nutrition beginning in childhood and continuing through adulthood. How do parents effectively encourage healthy eating so children can reduce these risks? That is the focus of her book.

Dr. Wood, a practicing pediatrician for 19 years and a leading spokesperson on children's nutrition, also outlines in her book ways of dealing with other non-degenerative diseases such as allergies, asthma, ear infections and attention deficit disorder (ADD) with preventative measures and with nutritional supplementation and a balanced childhood diet.
