Admin Corner: Weekly Coworking Sessions for Small Business Owners

Join other UK business owners for weekly admin-focused coworking sessions that get stuff done.

Using a body doubling approach and accountability, Admin Corner helps sole traders and small businesses tackle their overwhelming admin tasks together.

Every Tuesday at 11am, dedicate one hour to your admin with support from an experienced Virtual Assistant and a community of business owners who get it.

Procrastinating with your business admin? You're not alone.

You love the product or service that you provide to your customers and clients, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t get into a habit or rhythm with the administrative tasks that come with running a business. (And there’s a lot of hats being juggled when you don’t have a big team around you!).  

  • You spend ages looking for receipts when doing your bookkeeping
  • You find yourself typing the same replies to email enquiries
  • You don’t market your business because your website isn’t up to date
  • You are forever searching for important emails
  • You leave your year end submissions until the week of the deadline (or later)
  • You can’t ever seem to find the document(s) you created
  • You are completing sign ups/onboarding manually for each new client
  • You’re manually entering data into different systems
  • You want to streamline your business but don’t know where to start

Then Admin Corner is for you!

HOW ADMIN CORNER COWORKING SESSIONS WORK

WEEKLY 1-HOUR LIVE SESSIONS

Every week, join a focused admin session with other business owners. These will be live via Teams every Tuesday at 11am. You can join and leave at any time throughout the hour and the topic section of the session will be recorded to watch in your own time.

MONTHLY ADMIN TOPICS & TRAINING

There will be a monthly admin topic and the first 10 minutes of each session will be dedicated to learning how to complete certain tasks around that topic, and then you will have the remainder of the session to work on these tasks.

THE BODY DOUBLING APPROACH

Body doubling is a proven productivity technique where working alongside others helps you focus and complete tasks. While Admin Corner is not traditional one-on-one body doubling, the presence of other business owners and my support creates a similar accountability effect that significantly reduces procrastination.

VA SUPPORT DURING EACH SESSION

After I’ve shared the topic learnings, the group will be put on mute to allow you to focus on your own tasks, but I will be available via the chat to answer any questions you may have. It will be like having access to your very own Virtual Assistant once a week!

FREQUENTYLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ADMIN CORNER

What is body doubling and how does it help with admin tasks?

Body doubling is a productivity technique where you work alongside others to increase focus and accountability. While Admin Corner isn’t traditional one-on-one body doubling, the presence of other business owners working on their admin, combined with my availability for support, creates a similar accountability effect. Research shows this significantly reduces procrastination, especially for tasks you typically avoid, like business admin.

Do I need to attend live or can I watch the replay?

You can do both! Join live Tuesday sessions at 11am, watch the topic training replay in the members library, or rewatch what you attended live for a recap. The idea is to dedicate that hour to your admin, whether live or on replay. The live sessions give you real-time support and accountability, but the flexibility means you can do this at a time that works for you.

What happens if I miss a week?

All topic trainings are recorded and available in the members library. You can catch up whenever suits you, and you never lose access to past session recordings while you’re a member.

What if the monthly topic isn't relevant to me that week?

You can use the hour for any admin task you’ve been putting off. The power is in the dedicated time and accountability, not necessarily the specific topic. Many members use the sessions for catch-up work like bookkeeping, email management, or other business admin that is ‘left for another day.’

How is this different from hiring a Virtual Assistant?

Admin Corner gives you accountability, training, and some VA support during sessions. This perfect if you want to do your own admin but need structure and guidance and/or would like to ask clarifying questions.

For tasks you want completely off your plate, or where the advice you need is more detailed, check out my VA services.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, all memberships can be cancelled anytime with no penalties or notice period required. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.
