Hey there, my friend, welcome to episode 316 of the Small Business Made Simple Podcast.

Thanks for leading me your ears right now – I know you have lots of other things you could be doing or listening to – so I appreciate you.

Today my guest, Lisa Hawkins, I am talking about life admin – yep admin created by our lives. We all might be business owners, but I reckon we’d all have admin from our lives that we, potentially, if you’re like me, sometimes fail in.  So Lisa is our secret sauce for today.

But before we get into that, did you have a chance to listen to last week’s episode? Last week I talked about what Meta are up to and what that means for you as small business owner. I think I freaked some people out, but the reality is we just need to be adaptable, and we know marketing is subject to change and change is definitely coming! Take a listen to episode 315 on your favourite podcast app or here: www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au/315

Also, have you grabbed yourself a copy of my book Small Town Big Impact with 107 Simple Marketing Strategies for Regional Business Success. If you haven’t got a copy yet, go to www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au and get a copy. It is available on Amazon – so you can get a kindle or hard copy there too – but I’d prefer you get it from my website! I have just picked up the next print run of the book – which means, holy cow, that’s there are already a thousand copies of my book out in the big wide world (and some have even gone overseas!).

And today for my Throwback Thursday part of this pod, I’m throwing back to episode 199, which is titled Doing Business Differently to Grow – how differently? Well very in some cases. With the time coming for you to set 2025 goals – it’s a good one to mull over. You can find the episode here: www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au/199 Oh and that reminds me I have a Women in Business Get Shit Done Retreat happening in December that will help you with your 2025 focus – come the show notes for the link: https://bit.ly/2025retreatjenn

Okay, let’s get into it. As mentioned, my guest is Lisa Hawkins, from Life Balance Essentials. Lisa shares insights into her personal concierge service, which helps business owners manage life admin tasks like email and bill payments. We discuss the importance of outsourcing, inbox management tips, and how AI might assist with admin tasks for small business owners

Let’s get into the chat. Here’s Lisa to help with our life admin!
