Meet Quinda Barrett | Founder of The Assist Me App

We had the good fortune of connecting with Quinda Barrett and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Quinda, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
One day I needed someone to ran an errand to pick up a few items for me while I was home alone sick. I thought to myself ” I wish I could afford a personal assistant”. From there an idea sparked to create a personal assistant service on an as needed basis.

Since we’re always on our phones I figured a mobile app would be the perfect convenient way to request personal assistance services for handling tasks in the moments we could use assistance. For many of us we are unable to afford a full time assistant, but we are able to outsource help as needed. With this thought in mind, the Assist Me App was created.

I also wanted to create a platform for individuals to earn income by using the skills and talents they already have. As we can see there is always a need to create multiple revenue streams.

Assist Me is here to help get tasks on our to-do list handled as well as to serve as resource for individuals and small business to advertise their services to gain clients and income.

What should our readers know about your business?
Assist Me is the solution to finding personal assistance on demand in the form of an app. While developing this app I had two main functions in mind. One function was to ease the process of finding help with any task as a moment’s notice and the other was to provide a platform individuals are able to use to advertise the skills and talents they already have with the ability to earn money providing personal assistant services.

What started off as a mobile app to tackle small everyday miscellaneous tasks has grown into an automated and intricate technology to make a breakthrough in the world of Personal Assistance. Whether you need assistance with taking out your trash, to delivering donuts and coffee to the office, to help with booking vendors Assist Me has you covered while making users’ lives easier by offering a wide range of products and services through its extensive platform.

Gone are the days when you had to go to your computer and perform an online search for hours for help with everyday tasks. With our innovative mobile technology, you can now gain instant access to everything you need and want from wherever you are. Assist Me offers you all that and much more.

Assist Me’s mission is to make each of our lives simple, efficient, and stress-free. We want to live in a world where technology and design are seamlessly intertwined, bringing together a unique user experience, and we strive to reach this goal everyday — working harder to be at the pinnacle of the App industry. With our wide range of easy-to-use features, you’ll feel your life improve right away.

I saw a need for people needing help with day to day tasks at a moment’s notice. I thought to myself ” what is the best way to offer personal assistant services on demand at any given time'” Then I said “an app!” We always have our phones in our hands and apps are a super convenient way to get access to information fast.

I am extremely proud and excited for this technology! This service is definitely needed, especially amongst small businesses and new entrepreneurs. There are so many creatives and skilled individuals that offer helpful services and should get paid for their expertise.

Creating this technology was not easy at all. I started the development of this app back in 2019. There have been several set backs and road blocks. In addition to the challenges, it was also expensive and I had to make several financial sacrifices to see it the investment through. I wanted to quit and throw in the towel several times. However, I believed in the vision so each time I just readjusted and found a way to solve problems and keep going! The way I solved each problem was to go back to each goal and find a way to create a solution. I researched, tried new approaches, used my resources and surrounded myself around positive people who believed in me as well as the mission of the app. I tapped into my village when I would hit a low point, regrouped and came back stronger and more focused.

I am elated to say that the Assist Me brand is here to stay! We are moving into households day by day helping to ease the load on to do lists one download at a time!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I had a friend visiting Atlanta for a week some of the places we’d visit would have to be The Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta Botanical Gardens, and Atlanta Civil Right Museum.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My story is not complete without the tribe of women who constantly motivate and support me.
