How May We
Help YOU?
A pay- what -you
-can life concierge service.
Teach a man
to fish--Based on the assumption that everyone has something to offer, and
everyone needs help with something.
What do you
need? We can mow a lawn, do yard work, clean
gutters, change a light bulb , move
furniture, do your dishes, get your groceries, take your car to the shop, type
up a paper, do errands, cook you dinner, walk your animals, shovel your
sidewalk or driveway, take pets to the
vet, change your oil, be your virtual assistant, clean your home , clean and
wash your car, babysitting, offer
marketing assistance for your business…temp work for short term projects. Drill
your bowling ball. Deliver goods and services. Advertise your business, party,
event or fundraiser. I can even create slogans and greeting cards for you.
What you do is submit your gopher task request
with a good description of the service you need completed , time and date you
need it done, and a rough idea of how long the task will take to complete and what
you could pay for the service. We may,
in some cases, be willing to barter. If we cannot do the task, we may know
someone that will. ( I am not a professional carpenter, plumber, roofer and so
on..just a guy willing to help someone out if I can. )
Our qualifications. Mark and Amy Burkenbine. Mark has
lived 46 years on this world and made some good decisions and some bad ones. He
has seen some good things and bad things. The verdict is in—It’s better to do
something good! Through the years Mark
has been a professional bowler, owned a bowling pro shop, mowed lawns, worked
at a bowling center and a convenience store, delivered tuxedos and meat, and
spent three years doing quality control field service work for financial
institutions. He has also published
content for his bowling
tournament website and personal blog with the goal of being a professional
writer and content creator. After all
these years, Mark figures it is best to be himself. His goal is to live and
learn all he can, and hopefully be of some help to someone who may be a little
overwhelmed or in a time of need.
Amy is 37 years old, and is possibly
the most capable person you will ever meet. She recently finished her B.S in business
administration from Columbia College with majors in human resources , accounting,
and management. Possessor of the most pleasant and professional phone
voice you will ever be graced with hearing, and genuinely determined to
succeed, Amy runs an office that is accurate and professional while still
maintaining a sense of humor and energy. There really is no stopping Amy, as she
recently started driving again also.
There are only limits for those that choose
to live in a box.
How can we help you?
Mission Statement.
To find good people who are
overwhelmed and help them figure out what they can do to get back on their feet. Talent is in everyone. Find it and aim it in
a fulfilling direction . In our networking efforts, we will do odd jobs for
those in need for a negotiated fee, not so much for the money but so people hopefully
don’t lose all appreciation for the time of others. Nonprofit is a misleading
and dirty word. We are FOR PROFIT, but believe money is the least valuable form
of currency.
We would like to work on the “teach a
man to fish” principal and provide a network of teachers, tools, advice and
apprenticeships to help build and nurture talents and skills so an individual
who is down can create his own business or service. Providing money to someone who can spend it
but cannot make it grow or use it to change their situation does not help the
future. Talent and skill are tools of hope, and hope changes everything.
---This is a rough start of a basic mission statement, We figure we should do what we can while we can. I am sure there are legal issues with some of this, but at some point one should just do what is right. I don't have much but I can change a light bulb for one who can't. It is a start.
