The Story Behind GirlFriday
When I was first venturing out to start a business, my intention was to partner solely with real estate agents. I knew I needed some guidance to get the ball rolling, so I reached out to various friends and colleagues that were also business owners. Many were very successful and ran million-dollar companies, so leaning into them for wisdom and advice was high on my to-do list! As I walked in to meet with each individual, I expected to hear that my idea was not profitable, but, to my amazement, each person not only encouraged me but gave me great advice on moving forward! As I left each office, I felt as if I were collecting pieces of a puzzle and the big picture was all coming together! One of the last places I visited was with a former employer where I had served as his C.O.O. As I spoke with him, he turned to his assistant and asked her, "What do you think? Would you like to have your own GirlFriday?" I had never heard of the term or expression before, so I inquired! "What is a GirlFriday??" He explained it was the name of an old movie, as well as a term used to describe a secretary. I just knew at that moment that I had found the last piece of the puzzle! I went home and looked up its definition: "A female office assistant entrusted with a wide variety of tasks." BOOM! And there it was! GirlFriday Business Solutions was born!
