One of the biggest misconceptions about working with a Virtual Assistant is that you need to have enough work for a full-time member of staff.

In reality, most business owners don't need another employee. They just need support with the tasks that keep building up in the background.

Whether that's managing an inbox, scheduling social media, updating spreadsheets, chasing invoices, or keeping systems organised, a VA can step in where support is needed most.

The benefit is that you only pay for the support you actually need. There's no recruitment process, no long-term commitment, and no pressure to hand everything over at once.

Many of my clients start with just a handful of tasks that they no longer have the time, energy, or desire to do themselves. Sometimes a few hours of support each month is all it takes to create a bit more space in your week and keep things moving forward consistently.

If you've been thinking about getting support but assumed it would be a bigger commitment than you're ready for, it may be worth exploring what's possible.

Social media isn’t complicated, but it does need to be consistent.

Have you ever sat down to write a post, stared at a blank screen for 20 minutes, and then decided you’d come back to it later?

Or spent hours tweaking the imagery for a post, only to realise you've only managed to create one piece of content when you could have had two or three ready to go?

That’s usually when social media starts slipping down the priority list, not because you don’t know what to say, but because there are always more urgent things competing for your attention.

When social media is handled well:

✔️ Images are created and branded consistently
✔️ Captions are written and ready to go
✔️ Posts are scheduled in advance
✔️ Your business stays visible, even when you're busy

Consistency is what makes the difference, but consistency is often the hardest part when you're trying to do everything yourself.

If your social media keeps getting pushed to the bottom of your to-do list, it may just need a bit more structure and support behind it.

Our next PUB Networking meeting is on 11th June, and this month I'll be taking the speaker slot!

I'll be sharing my top holiday admin tips to help you take a week away from your business without coming back to an overflowing inbox, missed tasks, and admin chaos.

Taking time off should feel like a break, not something that creates extra stress before and after. I'll be talking through some simple ways to prepare your business so things continue running smoothly while you're away.

Whether you've got a summer holiday booked or you're simply trying to be better at stepping away from work, there should be plenty of practical ideas to take away.

As an added bonus, tickets are currently 50% off for this meeting, so it's a great opportunity to come along, meet some local business owners, and see what PUB Networking is all about.

Join in the fun:
✔️ Make new connections
✔️ Grow your existing ones

✔️ Get actionable business support
✔️ Enjoy a great evening out

As June begins, it’s a good opportunity to pause and check that everything is still working the way you need it to.

The year is nearly halfway through, which makes it a great time to review what’s working well, what’s slipping, and where a little more structure could help.

Here are a few areas to prioritise this month:

◾️ Review outstanding tasks: Take a look at anything that’s been sitting on your to-do list for a while and decide whether it needs doing, delegating, or removing altogether.

◾️ Organise your digital files: Make sure important documents, photos, and folders are easy to find before they become difficult to manage.

◾️ Check in on your systems: Whether it’s spreadsheets, workflows, or processes, a quick review can highlight small improvements that save time later.

◾️ Plan for summer leave: If you have holidays or time away coming up, now is a good time to make sure clients, projects, and ongoing tasks are covered.

June is a good month for creating clarity and making sure the second half of the year feels organised rather than rushed. 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:
✔️ Carrying out an inbox detox and organisation
✔️ Creating a website
✔️ Designing and scheduling social media posts

A mix of organisation, setup, and visibility support all aimed at making things easier and more manageable for my clients.

These aren’t big tasks on their own, but they’re the ones that keep things moving forward and I’m always happy to support that!

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 one client in talent management, that’s looked like creating a Google Sheet workflow for event invitation lists, researching TikTok trends, and designing artist portfolios.

For a personal development coach, it’s been inbox management and letterhead design to help keep communication organised and professional.

And 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.

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.

I’m officially stuck.

I have a client who is trying to create a Google account using her non-Google email address, which is normally easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Except Google seems to think her email is already linked to a Google Sheet or Doc that she previously opened as a “visitor”, and now it won’t let us create the account.

So far we have:
✔️ Removed all visible sessions/connections
✔️ Cleared browser data and cache
✔️ Tried incognito mode
✔️ Tried different browsers/devices
✔️ Attempted to contact Google (with absolutely no luck)

At this point I’ve run out of ideas, and she’s understandably desperate to get this sorted.

Has anyone dealt with this before and found a solution?

It's known in my networking group that I love a Google Sheet Project.

A good Google Sheet can solve a lot more problems than people realise!

Recently, I’ve been building spreadsheets that help clients keep track of things like:

✔ Project progress with specific cell formatting rules
✔ Social media planning
✔ Invite lists and event responses
✔ Outstanding invoices and follow-ups

They’re not overly complicated for the sake of it, they’re built to make information easier to track and quicker to understand. I listen to what my client actually needs from their tracker and build the sheet to do exactly that.

Sometimes all someone needs is one clear place to see what’s happening, what’s outstanding, and what needs attention next.

And if it saves clients from searching through emails, notes apps, and random pieces of paper… even better!

Due to a last-minute change in plans, I found myself hosting our PUB Networking branch on Thursday for the first time.

It wasn’t lost on me how far my public speaking confidence has come. This time last year I was shaking like a leaf doing my own presentation, and this week I ended up hosting the whole meeting - so a little pat on the back for Hannah!

I think it’s safe to say Tim’s job is safe though… although I did enjoy being the one who got to choose the winner of the icebreaker question for the night.

A big thank you to Helene for speaking for us. She’s fairly new to PUB, so it was really nice to hear more about her background and how she followed her path to become the life coach she is today.

At PUB, we love hearing the different journeys people take to build their businesses.

Our next meeting is on Thursday 11th June, and I’ll be speaking this time, so if you’d like to come along, visitors are always welcome!
