What is Relax Consulting?

What is Relax Consulting?
I get asked this question a lot, and when I try to answer using a title or reference to another business, I feel like I'm trying to stick a square peg in a round hole. Administrative Consulting or Virtual Assisting is 'sort of' what I do...but more of some and less of other things that those type of companies provide. What Relax Consulting is, is an extension of me. We do the things that I'm good at and the things I enjoy - and we do them for the people I enjoy spending my time with. 


I am reading a book by Tim Ferriss called the Four Hour Work Week where he talks about controlling the W's in your life, which lets you control, WHAT you do, WHEN you do it, WHERE you do it, and with WHOM. And that's exactly what Relax Consulting is. I help companies and individuals with marketing, writing, team building, presentation creation/polishing, etc...and it do it on my terms to fit into my family schedule, I do it from my home (or remotely - gotta love technology - ie: from the beach), and I get to choose my clients which means I have the ability to work with only those people I want to work with.

So, to answer the initial question of what Relax Consulting is, it's a chance for someone who is frustrated by their limitations, to sit down and talk to someone who has insightful ideas, positive energy, and a passion for life. We can talk about plans, goals, and ideas, and see if we can help one another. This may mean I help you design a website and teach someone at your office how to maintain it and link together your social media, or it may mean you call me once in a while to write a blog or proof read a presentation. 

In the end - Relax Consulting is about building relationships, building up one another, and going back to the basics of life where one hand washes the other and ideas can be shared and created openly and honestly among people that respect one another.

That's the scoop - and as I learn more things, or hire additional teammates, Relax Consulting will become bigger, better, and we will expand into different business spaces. It's all about embracing diversity and individuality as well as driving change!

Your Business - Your Baby

Don't Trust Your Business to Just Anyone!

Your business is your baby - admit it...both cause you sleepless nights and you worry about the future of your child like you worry about the future of your business. This is how seriously we take our pledge to our clients: See what Crystal has to say below:


One of the first Relax Consulting clients was Crystal's own ex-husband. Yes...ex-husband...he had enough faith in her to cut her a check. Say what you want about trust and integrity - this alone speaks for itself. You won't be disappointed if you partner with someone who truly cares about your business.

Here's what the business experts have to say about that:

From Women in Business: "Communicate Effectively"

From Working Wisdom:  "Effective conflict resolution"

Relax Consulting may not be right for you and your business - but the consultation is free and full of value - partnering with someone you can call a trusted friend and partner is vitally important to your success and your ability to Relax, knowing that some of your once daunting tasks are being taken care of professionally by someone who cares.

As I finished this blog...I received the following email to attest to some of our claims:
