Young Entrepreneur Wins Shell LiveWIRE Award with Innovative Task Management Site
Newcastle University graduate takes home a Shell LiveWIRE Grand Idea Award for myTaskAngel, an online service that helps people manage their daily tasks.
- (1888PressRelease) August 18, 2010 - The idea came to Florence Iwuoha as she encountered certain tasks that perhaps would be a cinch for others to perform, but somehow proved to be troublesome for her. Why not establish a service clearinghouse type of site, where users can post tasks to be performed and willing people can perform them in exchange for a small fee, she reasoned. From that idea, myTaskAngel was born, and quickly earned a £1,000 financial boost that accompanied the Shell LiveWIRE Grand Ideas Award.
Shell LiveWIRE is dedicated to assisting young entrepreneurs succeed in the business world, and they do so by providing free startup advice, support as well as funding. They also recognize achievements by young professionals through their two business awards, the monthly £1,000 Shell LiveWIRE Grand Ideas Awards and the annual £10,000 Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. To be recognized by a Shell LiveWIRE award means that a young entrepreneur's idea is sound, innovative and superior to its contemporaries.
The site myTaskAngel is in essence an online marketplace for tasks, where service providers can be matched with specific tasks that they can perform for a fee. Having access to myTaskAngel is akin to having a personal assistant by your side. Whenever you encounter difficulties with what you are doing, you may opt to have an expert at myTaskAngel take over for you. The "angel" performing your task will earn a small fee, and you can free yourself from the troublesome task. The concept is refreshingly straightforward and infinitely useful for those procuring services as well as for those providing them.
Practically any task one can think of can be posted in myTaskAngel. So long as there is someone able and willing to perform the task, the transaction should clear. While many view the benefits of myTaskAngel from the perspective of those procuring the service, the benefits realized by service providers should be noted as well. People seeking to perform odd jobs in exchange for a fee will be happy to participate in myTaskAngel's model, particularly because it offers them a one-stop-shop in their search for many odd jobs to perform.
"The beauty of myTaskAngel is its ability to accept a custom task request that couldn't possibly be easily sourced elsewhere. For example, one could request a service provider to pick up food, dry cleaning, pet supplies and a book, all in one trip," notes Florence Iwuoha, the award-winning entrepreneur behind myTaskAngel.
The Shell LiveWIRE Grand Ideas Award winning site is currently in limited public beta, but will launch in the very near future. Interested users are encouraged to visit the myTaskAngel site and sign up to ensure that they receive the newsletter and notification when the service goes live.
