Even small tweaks in a system can make a huge difference.

I have systems on top of systems and systems for my systems. But a system is really just how you do a thing.

One of my systems is to write out my to-do lists for work and personal tasks for the week.

A few months back, I moved my business to the top of my to do list.

It was a very small change. Just writing Hot Mess Fix Chick higher on a notepad.

But that small change led to more conversations about my business and more folks that are interested in what I do.

It caused a mental shift too. It helped me to readjust my focus and recognize that my business is where I need to spend the majority of my time.

Modifying the systems in our lives doesn’t have to be complicated. It can be as simple as changing your location.

We just changed campgrounds today, and are now much closer to Disney and the resorts.

One thing that I LOVE about being in the Orlando area is working at the Disney resorts. It can be such a great reset to get out of your normal routine and get the creative juices flowing.

Just a small tweak, changing the location of my work, but because of my systems on top of systems, I know exactly what to work on.

How are your systems?

So who is this Hot Mess Fix Chick? My name is Jennilyn and I’ve been a lover of admin and travel most of my adult life. When we hit the road in our RV in 2020, my husband and I had driven across the country four times, so living in an RV just made sense as a living situation. I had had different admin roles throughout my career and for a while I didn’t love admin work, I wanted to do the fun, creative work! But after our income took a major hit (and our spending took a big leap up), I realized I needed to get back into it. Since deciding to get back in, I’ve worked with a number of amazing business owners across the country and even talked about my journey on the RV Entrepreneur podcast. If you want to learn more, comment PODCAST to get the link! For funsies, how did you hear about me?

Business owners are really impressive people. You have to be creative, consistent, have a tough skin, and just the ability to keep going. You’re able to do all the things in your business, obviously, YOU built it! You know all the ins and outs of your business. You know all the steps to get it done. But, unless you’re running an admin business, I’m guessing you’re not the best at your admin. My client Naomi, who has a band and runs a dance membership, said this about the work we’ve done together, she’s been able to “delegate what drags me down, and count on someone to stay on top of things. With her taking care of the admin details for my band and my dance membership, I can focus more on what I love doing: singing and teaching dance.”

Having someone help with your admin can be an affordable way to free up more time and allow you to spend more time doing what you love.

Today is Veteran’s Day and one of my favorite holidays. It is because of the Marines that I met my husband and today is one of those days that I can celebrate him....and find him some great freebies! I’m very much the planner in our household and planning for Veteran’s Day this year was super fun because we’re in Orlando, which has a TON of places that offer things for Veteran’s Day. So while I’m working, Bret is out going down the list of freebies I found for him.

Being a business owner is an awesome thing to be. One of the things I miss about being in one location all the time is in-person networking. While it’s a little harder to find meetups in some of the locations we travel to, in more populated areas like Orlando, it’s much easier. Today, I’m meeting with a reading and writing group called . I’ve been following along for a few years and the schedule finally aligned so that I could meet up. We’re working at my FAVORITE place to work, Coronado Springs Resort. I even got in a little bit of reading before we got started. Traveling friends, how do you find other business owners or folks with similar interests in your travels?

For the first time since we've been traveling full-time in an RV, we're voting in person. One of the questions that comes up is how do we handle all these "normal things" like voting or vehicle registration or doctor's appointments. For voting, if we're not in town, we mail in our ballots. For vehicle registration, it depends - we've driven to renew them and we've also had our renewals mailed. We're actually able to renew our truck tags after voting today. For doctors, we do have to be in town. There was one time where I had to have follow-up appointments after we left the area, so I had to fly back and get a hotel. But the benefit there was extra Disney time. For these things, it just takes planning. What questions do you have about the logistics of traveling full-time?

There are so many types of virtual admins out there. There are some that work in only one industry. There are some that do social media management. There are some that help plan and manage things, while others are more task-orientated. All have their place and can help you in your business. It's important to know what you need from a VA and what the VA you're talking to can do.

Here's a list of the tasks that I do:
- Bookkeeping
- Managing CRMs
- Moving leads from a spreadsheet tracking system into a CRM
- Drafting and scheduling emails
- Moving subscribers from one email service to another
- Drafting and sending contracts
- Recording manuals/how things are done in the business so things don’t fall through the cracks
- Minor web updates
- Managing memberships – adding/removing members from Facebook groups, prepping graphics and scheduling Zooms/YouTube lives, prepping emails
- Researching grants that fit the client’s profile
- Proofreading
- Managing free Facebook groups – mainly screening new adds and making sure they meet the criteria and aren’t spam accounts.
- Creating advanced spreadsheets for tracking income, expenses and payouts.

What types of things does your VA do?

Four years ago, we started a journey into full-time RV life. The first year, was all about going fast, seeing all the things - filling up our buckets but also filling up our credit card balances. After that, our journey was one of building a new business and traveling as much as we could and doing what we could. While years 2-4 weren't about seeing a lot of epic things, we met so many epic people. During that time, I have met friends who are now at the level of driving to the airport or that I can share scary medical news. I have met people with hard stories, amazing stories, funny stories. The journey to this point has truly been the point. The person I've become through our struggles is a pretty cool version of me. You never know where your journey will take you. I'm going to be sharing every day of November about my business, our travels and just life in general here on Hot Mess, so make sure you're following so you don't miss anything!

It always comes back to admin for me, even when I run from it. When the photography business wasn’t bringing in what we needed, I looked to admin work.

When we changed how we ran our real estate business and were getting less income, I looked into admin work again.

Over the last 3+ years of growing Hot Mess Fix Chick, I’ve fully embraced that admin is what I’m best at, and truly, what I love to do.

My work allows me to help business owners get their behind the scenes organized so they can do more of what they’re awesome at and not worry about all the little things falling through the cracks.

I have room in my calendar for another client. Below are a few of the different types of work I’ve been doing for my clients, if you see something you or someone you know could use more help with, check out the the link below.

- Bookkeeping
- Managing CRMs
- Moving leads from a spreadsheet tracking system into a CRM
- Drafting and scheduling emails
- Moving subscribers from one email service to another
- Drafting and sending contracts
- Recording manuals/how things are done in the business so things don’t fall through the cracks
- Minor web updates
