By kelliesimpson | November 5, 2022 | 0

It takes a lot of work to keep a law firm running smoothly. Every day you and your team undertake essential actions like client communication, progressing project work, raising invoices etc. Without these taking place, your business would soon grind to a halt. But what happens if the people responsible for those tasks take holiday,…

Get ready to outsource, organise and manage your admin like a pro!

Every two weeks I'll be sharing tips, tools and advice to help you get on top of your admin and organisation.

Your business won't know what's hit it.

It’s official…. We’re now into the second ha It’s official…. We’re now into the second half of 2026 🫣🫪

Q2 has flown by in the blink of an eye. 

In some ways it’s been a quiet quarter.

I’ve not travelled too far.

I’ve been intentional on looking after myself, noticing energy shifts and taking on work that lights me up.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 let’s start with the biggest news by far and the highlight of Q2 :

WE’RE MOVING TO SCOTLAND - It’s taken me a while to really get excited about this move, but I’m almost there. 

🔑 in fact, Graham picks up the keys to our new house today. 

Other highlights include:

💆🏼‍♀️✨Working with @iam_sarahjepson inside the Flourish programme alongside Jenny @vet_harmony has been so lovely, we’ve been on quite the journey & our stay @lilypod_escapes really was so special.

📢 I spent 2 days in the Cotswold at the Branded & unstoppable event hosted by @belindafurneauxharris which was incredible. 

Cannot wait to share what we’ve been working on and excited to meet up with the ladies for lunch at the end of July. 

👩🏼‍💻 I started my new events manager role with Adviserly - loving the work with this client.

💝 I celebrated my 12th wedding anniversary, a night away in Ilfracombe at The Carlton Hotel - a free night gifted to me. 

🏝️ blessed with 2 holidays to Menorca and Crete - the best times with the bestie @charliering and my family.

🧘🏼‍♀️I did a self mastery day - wow wow wow - a reiki session (something I’m still very new to) was something else, I’ve never had an experience quite like it. 

Let’s see what Q3 brings… it will be my last 3 months of living in Devon, & in my beautiful home, as I get it ready for letting to holiday guests from October 😢

What’s been your Q2 highlight?
It’s so nice to be on holiday when the only deci It’s so nice to be on holiday when the only decisions of the day are:

1. What bikini to wear;

2. What sun bed to lie on;  

3. What time to crack open the first beer of the day; and

4. What time we’re preparing dinner.

No work, no emails, no worries, no stress.

Just complete chill.

We arrived back last Thursday (to rain!) and I took the rest of the week off to make the most of my break.

AND this is the beauty of having your own PA.  Without one, I wouldn’t have been as care free.

With enough planning and a handover before you go, you can really wind down and enjoy your break knowing things are being taken care of.  

Whilst I was off my PA, Emma Portor actioned the following:

✅ Monitored my inbox and responded to emails

✅ Scheduled meetings

✅ Onboarded 2 new clients 

✅ Drafted a team newsletter

✅ Liaised with my team whenever they had any queries

Emma was on my out of office so any queries or questions from clients - they know they can reach out to her.

Emma has been my PA for 3 years now and I’ve been outsourcing client work to my team for 5 years. Without my amazing team around me - work-free holidays would not exist.  @tilbamarketing 

Building this structure over the last 5 years is something I’m really proud of.

When Rob asked me recently if I wanted to work with him at Adviserly… 

It was a HUGE “YES - of course, I’d bloody love to work with you”. 

This week I start my new role as Events Manager for Adviserly.

I love planning, I love events and I absolutely love working with Rob. 

I’d say my first memory of us “hitting it off” was over a pirate martini at one of our mutual client’s summer party lunch. 

And it’s been a blossoming work/friendship ever since. 

I’ve worked with MANY lawyers over my 26 year legal career and Rob is one of those lawyers I instantly clicked with and is a pleasure to support, with both his corporate lawyer and Adviserly hats on. 

Having been Aviserly’s gold sponsor last year, for the relaunch and boutique pioneers event I know how much of a good fit this is for me. 

I know many of the members, some are friends, and some are clients present and past. 

I’m so proud of Rob for what he’s building with Adviserly and at these early stages it’s great to be a part of the Adviserly family. 

Thanks also to Magda for the warm welcome - look forward to working closely with you too. 

So this is me showing my soft and caring side today as I really do value good people who come into my life such as Rob and who make running a business so enjoyable.

So proud to have been on this journey with you and to see how Adviserly is evolving. This is just the beginning 🫶🏻

Why time away from work is so much easier when you Why time away from work is so much easier when you have a team in place to keep things running 🙌🏻

Batteries are fully recharged after a mini Menorca Hols with my best friend!

Whilst I’ve been away my PA has:

• Looked after my inbox 
• Arranged calls 
• Created and sent out all our invoices 
• Co-ordinated new work enquiries 
• Liaised with the team 
• Started onboarding a new client 

And I have PAs (aka my team) in place to support ALL our clients, which means I can be away and not need to worry about client work. 

✔️ I’ve built my business this way. 

✔️ I’ve created a foundation, structures and processes that mean I can take time out and nothing falls apart. 

Back to work today, and for me it’s always nice to get back into routine ☺️

I’ve had the last few months to really get my head around it.

However, to make it feel more real - I need to tell the world.

And to find out... you’ll need to swipe ➡️ 🤭

Scared, excited, nervous and full of excitement at the same time.

This is such an opportunity for us 🥰

I’ve always had the clearest vision of what our future looks like and this new chapter is really going to bring that future vision to life sooner than we thought.
