About Me

I’m Janet Barclay, a virtual assistant, website designer, and blogger.  I live and work with my husband Scott in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

I established Organized Assistant in 2002, went full time in 2005, and would never dream of going back to a “real job.” I guess you could say that entrepreneurship is in my blood, as my father and his father both owned successful businesses.

In 2006 I reluctantly began blogging, and discovered a passion for writing I never realized I had. In my main blog,  From the Desk of Janet Barclay, I share insights and helpful tips I’ve picked up while operating my home-based business. You can read more of my tips, articles, and other thoughts at:

I must be doing something right, as my colleagues have honoured me with three awards!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you’ll enjoy reading my blog, and look forward to reading your comments.
