How Chartered Creatives came to be...
The moment I said yes to opening Chartered Creatives, was the moment I said yes to being one step closer to my future. I want other business owners or people who want to open business to feel that same feeling I had the moment I said yes. By combining my two major life drivers (LOVE for seeing people grow and LOVE for teaching people), I was able launch Chartered Creatives. I firmly believe that each company should have a goal (long term, short term, whatever!) and communicate that with the people you plan to serve. Chartered Creatives is here for more than just money…true innovation is more than just growing your business, it’s improving your life.
First Goal. Help business owners stop doing the tasks the avoid and start doing the work they love. Chartered Creatives is here to help other companies be brought to life and to expand and grow!
Second Goal. Be a company that people WANT to work for. I want this company to create a space for people to achieve their dreams, create a lifestyle and work environment they dream of, and be financially and emotionally safe.
The Values of Chartered Creatives
With our customers, employees and our service at our core, we live these values:
Create a culture of hard work and empowering results for all. Being loyal and committed to our clients and our company. Being honest, connecting with dignity and respect with employees and customers. Bring the best to the client in innovative and creative ways, while seeking self growth. Work toward the greater good being environmentally responsible.
Where are we headed?
Since the inception of Chartered Creatives, we have always wanted to grow and become a place where small business can come and find a virtual assistant that aligns with their values, can support their needs and get them back to doing what they love. Well after FOUR years, we are finally moving towards that goal.
After 3 years long hold, we are now accepting NEW clients!
