What People Are Saying

“I needed my website finished and they stepped in and made it look professional with added features. I was impressed with their skill and efficiency to get it done quickly.”

– Elizabeth Evans

“This team has been an asset to me! If you’re needing help with your business, hire them! They have helped me with everything from, updating my computer, to putting together a business proposal for a commercial property!! The proposal was a HUGE task. To say the lenders were impressed with what I presented is an understatement! Because of this team, I feel confident in the behind the scenes part of my business!”

– Sam Wiesner, Owner of Healing Sage Massage Therapy

 “Omg, I have the best Virtual Assistant on the planet 🌏!!
Tara Backes puts up with all my craziness and mistakes and attempts to explain technical thingees that only she can translate 🤣 Immediate response, fastest turnarounds, and totally gets what I want (and advises me when something else would work better!). Projects Made Simple, LLC. You wanna check them out. Tara’s team is beyond magnificent.”

– Darlene Sochin

“I use to have so much resistance to asking for help. Seems ridiculous that I actually believed I had to do EVERYTHING alone. It made success sweeter, so I thought. No…It made success harder, more draining, and robbed me of joy.

Stepping into my power and embodying my desire to grow my business required me to uplevel outdated beliefs. Asking for help was a biggie!

I delegated the stuff I disliked doing, made time to serve clients more deeply, and supporting women in their businesses activated me into co-creating wealth. Giving and receiving money with gratitude energetically up-leveled how I run my business.

It was a magical bridge I crossed from who I wanted to be and who I intentionally took action in becoming. I rewrote the story and am excellent at delegating to badass women now. It was a game-changer!

This shift aligned me more deeply in running a soul-led business.

I have an amazing VA – she rocks things out that would have frustrated the hell out of me trying to figure out. She put more time in my schedule doing the things that keep me in flow, happiness, and abundant living. I take action much quicker and get more done in less time.
Big love to Tara at Projects Made Simple – she is a badass! I’m so grateful for all she does for me. Paying her feels so damn good! The energetics of paying someone with love creates an open flow of wealth that is free to circulate without limitations.

– Jen Piceno

“Tara et al fixed all my problems / all my screws ups / I am so glad my wife recommend her for to straighten out my Word Press traffic jam. We whole-heartily recommend her and her team. SO affordable too.”

– Clif Barnes

“Shouting out one of our awesome sponsors for Thursday’s event and my AMAZING virtual assistant, Tara Backes with Projects Made Simple. Hiring a VA was a leap that’s still difficult to take as a solopreneur. Tara makes it easy for me with speedy, high quality, affordable assistance. And…she doesn’t freakout when I have my “I can’t afford this, please hold everything” freakout moments. Thanks for working with my crazy ass Tara.”

– Laura Di Franco

 “I love working with Tara and her team. She has brought peace of mind knowing that I have support for my business so I can focus on serving and creating. Thank you, Tara!”

– Gale West

 “There are just not enough words or room here to write all of the help with projects and website support hours Tara and her team have provided for me over the years. It’s been at least 5. Not only is Tara’s work beautiful and precise, her response time to all emails and completion of projects is frankly unlike anyone or anything I’ve ever encountered. There are VA’s that you can delegate some of your administrative tasks who may be efficient. AND THEN THERE’S TARA!! If you’re an entreprenuer and time as well as proficiency and quality are of the essence (your brand and business are your reputation), Projects Made Simple LLC is totally your #1 choice.”

– Darlene Sochin

You are SO HELPING me build the platform that is going to get me a book deal. THANK YOU, thank you, thank you.”

Laura Di Franco, MPT

“Thank you again for your quick and easy way of just doing what needs to be done! I’m so grateful. It feels like I’m being so impulsive and just throwing stuff up when it feels right. It’s working really well (6 sign ups in an hour) and you are right there with me. I really appreciate it.”

– Lisa Mitchell

 “A huge shout-out to “Projects Made Simple” for their services Tara Backes as my Virtual Assistant you’re amazing: Thank you!”

– Patricia Daly

“The worst day of my life was when Projects Made Simple asked me for a testimonial.

While we LOVE to share good things (like an amazing shoe sale or a great new flavor at Starbucks), there are some things we just want to keep for ourselves! How could I possibly share my beloved team???

Well, because we DO live in an abundant universe! (And I don’t want to get my hand slapped for being stingy when I go to heaven. That would pretty much ruin my whole day.)

So it is with great pleasure that I give my heartiest thumbs-up! My old VA was a one-person show, and when she went through family troubles, MY business fell apart. So then I went with a new 17-person team, thinking any one of ’em could have family troubles and someone else could pick up the ball for me. But then they started “streamlining” and suddenly only pieces of my workload were being handled, leaving me to go find other VAs to fill in the gaps.

Which is exactly what happened when I met Projects Made Simple. It was just to fill in a gap. But here’s the funny thing about a gap. Where there’s a gap, there’s a vacuum. And in a very SHORT period of time, I moved my entire workload to Projects Made Simple to fill in that vacuum.
And then I proceeded to make offerings. Not like what you do at church on Sunday. I started offering complex, creative, DARING projects, that would be sure to break their entire system. Ha! Joke was on me! (That turned out to be a “duh” moment, because I forgot the name of the company: Projects Made SIMPLE. HellooOOOooo!)

If you need your business (and your life!) to be simple, the name says it all! The proof is in the pudding. At this time last year, you’d see my head spinning around on its axis on any given day. The overwhelm was annoying and frustrating. But nowadays, my head is fixed and on straight, my desk is clear, and my heart so OPEN for the amazing success they are a PARTNER to. Thank you, Projects Made Simple!”

“This is a shout out to Tara Backes and James Backes of Projects Made Simple. (www.projectsmadesimplellc.com) My websites suffered vicious attack by malware. It was completely off line. James got his Geek on and fixed it with calm and confidence. Now I can register folks for the new January retreat and all the sad emails from folks who can’t access a video or a blog post or register for a program will cease. Thanks you guys. I’m so grateful for you!!!”

“Tara created a Facebook page and a really cool cover photo for our radio show Smart Women Talk.  I had always planned to do this but just couldn’t get around to it.  Then she increased our followers on Twitter and we went from about 150 followers to 760 and counting!  She took these tasks that I just didn’t have time to finish and finished them!  Now I can check them off my To Do list.  Thanks Tara!  Looking forward to working with you more in the future.”
