Shari Larkin is the owner of BZB Virtual Business Solutions, providing online business services to entrepreneurs who want to utilize the internet to attract clients, automate their business systems and build customer relationships. Doing everything by yourself creates stress, is demotivating and becomes overwhelming.  Entrepreneurs spend more time in administrative tasks than actually attracting clients and making money.  BZB wants to help you "build your hive to success" and free your time up for the important tasks of attracting clients and doing what you do best,.    Shari was the office administrator for the Cornwall Branch of a  leading national home healthcare company providing support to all in house and field staff of the five counties of Stormont, Glengarry, Dundas, Prescott and Russell. She is the proud mother of two gorgeous and rambunctious boys which led to her desire to start her own business and help others find a work/life balance.
