About My Office & More
My Office & More was opened by Kate Lake in August 2015. Kate’s vision is to have a place where entrepreneurs, freelancers, road warriors, remote employees, and small businesses can benefit from having the same types of business tools and productive atmosphere as larger companies without making large capital commitments.
Usually, to have an office outside of a home starts with entering into a long-term lease agreement. Then furniture and equipment (do you need a copier?) are purchased or leased, utilities are turned on (don’t forget about the utility deposits!), and internet is setup (do you need extra equipment like routers, etc.?). Oh, and who is going to clean the bathrooms? 🙂
Instead, Members at My Office & More have immediate access to a place to work and tools to make them productive for a monthly Membership Fee. And not everyone needs the expense of an office. For these individuals, desk space is available for a fraction of the cost.
About Kate
If you are running a small business, sometimes it helps to be around others who know your struggles and who can help celebrate your successes. I know this personally because as the owner of My Office & More, I know how hard it can be to run a business. So many things to know, do, and oversee.
I have several decades of business experience working for small-, medium-, and large-size companies. One of my exciting positions was as the administrative assistant to the president of Disney Cruise Line during its start-up years. This position gave me access to senior corporate executives and celebrities and required that I provide a high level of administrative support to ensure they were able to stay productive. My ambition is to be able to offer the same level of administrative support to all business people, whether they are Fortune 100 senior executives or not.
My schooling includes undergraduate degrees in secretarial administration, accounting, and business information systems from Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And later, I received a Masters of Business Administration (accounting emphasis) from Florida Southern College.
Having lived in Lakeland since 2000, I am committed to helping local business people be successful because I recognize that the community thrives when its local businesses thrive. My passion is business!
