One week to go to Chelmsford PUB Networking Night!

Come and join the amazing vibe we get at our Chelmsford meetings!

Powered Up Business Networking (PUBNetworking) is not your normal networking. This is networking with a twist - relaxed, social, and genuinely fun. We ditch the stiff formality and focus on building real connections - not just for business, but for friendships and collaborations too.

This isn’t just about swapping business cards. It’s about sharing a drink, having a laugh, and getting stuck in to conversations that spark ideas and opportunities.

Join in the fun:
✔️ Make new connections
✔️ Grow your existing ones
✔️ Share your work
✔️ Get actionable business support
✔️ Enjoy a great evening out

📍 The United Brethren, Chelmsford
📆 Thursday 10th September
🕢 7:30pm - 9:30pm

If you’re looking for a networking event where you can be yourself, learn something, and walk away with real value (and maybe a few new mates), reserve your space now!

September can feel like a bit of a reset after the summer. Routines start to settle again, businesses get busier, and it’s a good time to get a few things back in order.

Here are a few areas to prioritise this month:

◾️ Review your filing system: Have a look at how your documents and folders are organised. If you’re constantly searching for things, it might be time to rethink where everything is kept.

◾️ Check your recurring tasks: Look at the things you do every week or month and make sure they’re actually scheduled or documented. It’s easy for regular jobs to become dependent on someone simply remembering to do them.

◾️ Look at your subscriptions: September is a good time to check what software, memberships, and other subscriptions you’re paying for. Are you still using everything you’re paying for?

◾️ Tidy up your contact list: Remove old contacts, check details are up to date, and make sure new contacts from the last few months have been added to the right place.

◾️ Review your processes: Are there tasks you’re still doing in a way that made sense a year ago but no longer works for your business? Small changes to how you work can make a big difference as things grow.

September doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul. Sometimes it’s just about getting the little things back in order so the rest of the year runs a bit more smoothly. If this list seems daunting (or you want to share the fun), let’s have a friendly consultation to see how I can help you!

Outside of the usual admin, there have been a few additional tasks this month, because we all know it’s not just emails, invoices, and calendar stuff that shape a business!

This month I’ve been:

✔️ Preparing booking contracts and invoices
✔️ Proofreading documents
✔️ Carrying out an inbox detox

A mix of organisation, detail-focused work, and behind-the-scenes support all aimed at helping my clients keep things moving.

These aren’t always the biggest tasks, but they’re the ones that can take up valuable time when they’re sitting in the background, and I’m always happy to help get them ticked off!

If you keep writing the same thing down, make a template.

One of the first things I make a note of when working with a new client, are the repeat emails, letters or bodies of text that I’ll be sending on their behalf again and again.

If I know I’m going to be writing something more than once, I’ll usually make a template for it.

It doesn’t have to be anything complicated. It could be:

- A standard email you regularly send
- A document you create for different clients
- An onboarding checklist
- A spreadsheet you update every month

Believe it or not, these are processes too. If you’re doing something repeatedly, it’s part of your process, and even something as simple as an email template can be included in your procedures.

It doesn’t mean everything has to be copied and pasted forever. You can have a template to start from and then change the bits you need.

It’s one of those small things that can save you a surprising amount of time, especially when you’re doing the same task over and over again.

If you’ve written something three times already, it might be time to make a template!

You never really know where bringing someone onto your team will take you.

One of my clients is a Chartered Planner, and when we first started working together, the support was fairly simple: inbox management and emailing external contacts.

Since then, it’s grown into a much wider range of support, including:

✔️ Inbox management
✔️ Emailing suppliers
✔️ Bank reconciliation
✔️ Invoicing
✔️ Social media designs
✔️ PowerPoint presentations
✔️ Local area research

It’s a good example of how working with a VA doesn’t have to start with a long list of tasks.

Sometimes you just start with the things that are taking up too much of your time, and as you get to know each other and understand how the business works, other areas naturally get added.

You never know where bringing someone onto the team might take you!

Things to do today:

◾️ Check emails
◾️ Send invoice
◾️ Update newsletter
...

◾️ Hold Jerry's head

I'm sure I could make this a "what I've learnt about business" post but let's face it, we all know I've stopped the timer to hold Jerry's head so he can look at me.

Just me and the guys at our meeting on Friday!

I’m really enjoying the 1:1s everyone is having during the meetings and finding out how they can help each other in their businesses. It’s been great seeing those conversations develop and the introductions that come from them.

A big thank you to Ricky for his speaker slot on his electrical and military background, and how he’s moving his business forward this year.

Our next meeting is Friday 11th September at The Swan Hotel. Hope to see you there!

17/08/2026

Another fun, but warm, evening with the gang at Chelmsford!

Thank you to Patryk for his tips on how to not feel so self-conscious in front of the camera, how to take photos of ourselves and why it’s so important for our branding.

Next month, the one and only Kayla Conley will be our speaker, and she always comes up with something interesting and interactive for us all to do!

Our next meeting will be Thursday 10th September at The United Brethren.

Hope to see you there!

Not all admin support looks the same because no two businesses run the same way.

The tasks behind each business can look very different, but they all serve the same purpose: keeping things organised and moving forward.

For a business coach, support has included social media management, inbox organisation, and platform monitoring to make sure everything is running consistently behind the scenes.

For a business development client, it’s been monthly invoicing, updating sales and expenditure sheets, and carrying out ad hoc research tasks as they come up.

And for a social charity, support has included social media planning, creating imagery, and scheduling content to keep everything consistent.

The goal is always the same: less mental load, fewer loose ends, and more space for business owners to focus on the work that matters most.

A lot of this work happens quietly in the background, but it all plays a part in helping businesses run more smoothly day to day.

This started as a small project a couple of years ago and has grown into something bigger.

Alongside creating and managing his social media, I also help with the background admin that comes with running an electrical business.

The amount of admin that comes with being an electrician is huge, and there are always little things that need doing alongside the actual jobs.

Anything I can take off Ricky’s plate, whether that’s a social media post, updating CRM, fine-tuning document templates and organising emails, is one less thing for him to think about.

It’s been really nice to see how the support has grown as the business has grown too, and this is a great example of how working with a VA doesn’t have to mean handing everything over at once.

Sometimes it starts with one small project and grows from there.
