Busylizzyva Helping busy business owners stay organised through executive support, project coordination and operations management.

From inboxes and calendars to projects, events and systems, I create structure so you can focus on growth.

It’s rarely just admin.

One of the things I love most about my work is that no two weeks look quite the same.
This week I’ve worked on contracts, researched software, set up accounting systems, organised events, coordinated logistics and helped clients communicate more clearly.
And somewhere in between there are emails to follow up, documents to organise, people to chase and those random:
“Lizzy, can you sort this?” jobs that land in my inbox.

That’s actually my favourite kind of work.

Because the value of good support isn’t just getting through an admin list.
It’s having someone in your business who understands what’s going on, thinks ahead, works things out and makes sure the important things don’t fall through the cracks.

You give me the context.
Tell me the outcome you need.
And let me take it from there.

Right now, I have space for one more ongoing client.
I’m looking for an established business or leader with plenty happening who is ready to stop being the person everything comes back to.
If that sounds a little too familiar, send me a message. 😊

Caught on a sticky note...

**Build a business that supports your life.**

Success used to look very different to me.

It was working long hours, taking work home. ensuring I was the best I could be for the students and staff, being in a respected profession and even looking successful from the outside.

These days, success looks a little different.

It's still about challenging myself, growing and doing work I'm proud of. I'm definitely not interested in sitting still. 😂

But I want **balance** too.

I want to do school drop-offs and pick-ups. Be at assemblies. Have time with my family. Grow a profitable business without it needing every available hour I have.

And next year, it means **taking Busy Lizzy VA on the road** while we travel Australia as a family.

Laptop, caravan, kids and all. 😂

That's probably the biggest shift in how I think about success.

I'm no longer trying to build my life around my work.

**I'm intentionally building a business that fits around the life we want to live.**

Ambition and balance don't have to be opposites.

What does success look like for you now and has your definition changed over the years?

Sometimes you reach a fork in the road.
You can keep doing what you've been doing.
Holding onto the inbox. The calendar. The follow-ups. The research. The systems. The documents. The little jobs that somehow find their way back to you.

But if that path is leaving you overwhelmed, frustrated and spending less time on the parts of your business you actually enjoy... perhaps it's time to take the other one.

The one where you start handing things over.
Not to someone else you need to constantly manage, but to someone who can take the context, work out what needs to happen and handle it.

Right now, Busy Lizzy VA has space for one more ongoing client and that doesn't happen very often.

If you're standing at that fork wondering whether it's finally time to get some support, send me a message.
Maybe it's time to take a different path. 💜

Simple automation to save time when onboarding a new client.

I recently looked at my own client onboarding process and realised I was doing the same things every single time. None of the tasks are particularly difficult. But they're repetitive, they take time and, when you're busy, they're exactly the kind of little admin tasks where something can get missed.

So I automated them.

Now, when I mark a new client as ""Won"" in Moxie, it triggers a workflow that automatically:

✓ Creates a new client section in Asana
✓ Generates my standard onboarding tasks and subtasks
✓ Assigns tasks to the right people
✓ Creates the client's OneDrive folder
✓ Builds the subfolders I use for files, research and ongoing work

By the time I open Asana or OneDrive, the basic client structure is already there waiting for me.

And I think that's something people sometimes misunderstand about automation.

You don't need to automate your entire business.

Start by looking for the small things you do over and over again.

If you complete the same five steps every time you onboard a client, receive an enquiry, finish a project or send an invoice, there's a good chance at least part of that process could happen automatically.

The goal isn't to remove the human side of running a business.

Tools used: Moxie + Asana + OneDrive + Make

Have a look at your own processes this week.

What's one thing you do every single time that could probably be automated?

I have space for one more client 👋
And honestly, this opportunity doesn’t come around all that often.
Busy Lizzy VA is at the point where I’m intentionally keeping my client list small. I want to know the businesses I work with, understand how they operate and be the person they can hand something to and know it’s handled.
My support can look like inbox and calendar management, logistics, research, surveys, events, systems, project coordination and all those “Lizzy, can you sort this?” jobs that pop up along the way.
I’m not looking to fill my week with lots of new clients.
I’m looking for one great-fit client.
An established business or leader who has plenty going on, is coping... but probably shouldn't still be doing everything themselves.
If you've been thinking about getting some proper support behind you, this might be your opportunity.
Send me a message and we can have a chat - no hard sell, just a conversation to see if we're a good fit. 😊

Caught on a sticky note...

Future You will thank Present You.

The last few weeks I've been playing around with Claude and ChatGPT to create a few systems for myself and one of my clients.

And I've realised that sometimes the best systems aren't the ones that save you time today. They're the ones quietly working away in the background, making life easier next week, next month and hopefully six months from now.

For one client, I've created a Claude workflow that reviews her emails and identifies her five most pressing emails, plus five things she may have missed. Before her day starts, she gets a calendar reminder with a link to her Claude brief so she can quickly see what needs her attention.

We're also testing Claude to draft email responses.

I've created a knowledge base based on how I respond to emails in her business, and we're testing how accurately Claude can use that information to prepare drafts. The next step is refining it so it only drafts emails that genuinely require a response - pretty important when you're receiving 50 -100 emails a day!

Then, for Busy Lizzy VA, I've created my own version in ChatGPT.

Every Monday morning at 8am, I'm reminded to check my weekly brief. It gives me an overview of what's happening in my calendar, highlights emails that might need attention and helps me start the week knowing what needs to happen.

None of these systems took an enormous amount of time to create.

But now they're there.

Working in the background. Prompting us. Helping us prioritise. Reducing the chance of something slipping through the cracks.

And we'll keep tweaking them as we learn what works.

That's what I love about good systems.

They're little bits of work Present You does once, so Future You doesn't have to keep doing the same thing over and over again.

And when you're a busy business owner with a lot going on in your head, Future You will probably be pretty grateful. 😂

What's something you could set up once today that would make life easier for you every week?

One of the unexpected parts of starting Busy Lizzy VA has been hearing how much of a difference the ""behind-the-scenes"" work makes.

Most people don't see the inboxes that have been organised, the systems that have been streamlined, the reminders that stop things slipping through the cracks, or the hours of mental load that's quietly lifted.

They just notice that work feels... easier.

This testimonial really made me smile because that's exactly what I hope to do.

Help busy CEOs and small teams spend less time juggling the administrative tasks and more time focusing on the work that only they can do.

Thank you to my wonderful client for trusting me and taking the time to share these kind words. 💜

If you're feeling stretched too thin and could use an extra pair of hands behind the scenes, I'd love to have a chat.

This one deserves a VERY big tick off the list. ✔️
Many months ago, a recommendation and ultimately a new client landed on my desk. One of the big-ticket tasks needed was to get a Vehicle Type Approval (VTA).

Did I know what a VTA was?
Not really. 😂

What followed was months of research, ROVER applications, Australian Design Rules, emails, checklists, engineering reports, certificates, manufacturer information, quality-management documents, requests for further information and a fair amount of trial and error.

Every time we thought we had everything covered, there seemed to be another question to investigate.
• So we investigated it.
• Another document needed? We found it.
• More evidence required? We chased it.
• A process needed documenting? We created it.
• Something didn't make sense? We asked more questions.

And today...
🎉 OUR VTA WAS APPROVED! 🎉
There is something incredibly satisfying about seeing a complicated project through from “I have no idea what this is” to APPROVED.

Teaching taught me how to organise complexity, fast.

Every day meant juggling competing priorities, shifting timelines, difficult conversations, planning, reporting and the unexpected... all while keeping everything moving.

I didn't realise it at the time, but those same skills are exactly what business owners need.

Today, I use that experience to keep projects on track, inboxes under control, documentation organised, and deadlines moving forward. So my clients can focus on leading their business instead of getting buried in the day-to-day.

The classroom may have changed, but the skill hasn't.

Helping people succeed by bringing calm to complexity is still what I do best.

Caught on a sticky note...

Know your numbers. This month, in a spare 30 minutes here and an hour after the kids' bedtime there, my CEO time has been about getting set up in this new financial year.

Xero subscription. Clients and suppliers set up. ATO connected. Invoicing configured. Hubdoc ready.

And I actually really enjoyed it 😂 that's the organised VA in me.

I also watched a webinar by Vicky Wren through the Biz Rebels portal (thanks Em Gee!), and one thing really stuck with me: be intentional about where you reinvest in your business.

Better systems. New skills. Outsourcing. Or investing in yourself as the CEO.
That last one I tend to forget...

What's one investment you've made on yourself as a business owner that has paid off? Basically - when's the next retreat people 😂
