Featured: ‘Create Ease in Your Work with a Little Tech’
Note: This post was originally written by me for Women in Business NI.
Have you ever felt like you were spinning your wheels in your work? Like you spend your days doing a million little tasks that don’t actually end up moving the needle forward?
It can feel so overwhelming when you’re doing everything on manual-mode!
In my work, I see this all the time. People get so busy doing their day-to-day work, they rarely take the time to see if they can find a way to do that work more simply and efficiently.
The thing is… you can’t do your best work when you’re stuck in the weeds of the repetitive admin of your job or business.
You never get the time to step back, see the bigger picture and get strategic.
You can’t dedicate the focused, energized attention that gives your clients the best results.
You spend less time getting to do the work you actually enjoy, the stuff that lights you up and that you are uniquely talented at.
And most importantly, it’s nearly impossible to take a restful break because you physically need to be the one keeping the work happening.
All of this can change when you have the right tools and processes in place.
And the thing is this doesn’t have to be scary or overwhelming.
Start by assessing your needs:
With these tools and my guidance, over the years my clients have had results like…
Wivi-Anne’s:
"Working with Ellie has been invaluable to me, since she really puts her energy into digging into my wishes and needs first, as a business owner. I simply love to work with a team like Ellie’s, that takes time to listen, and then in a professional and simple way, transforms my wishes into reality! She is an amazing pro at finding solutions to simplify my way of working online.
Ellie is really efficient and highly skilled in what she is offering, and more importantly really good at responding and explaining processes in a simple and understandable way."
Mel’s:
“When my business started to scale up I realized I couldn’t bring my best to the table without bringing in some practical support. Having Ellie on board was invaluable to me and gave me the opportunity to focus on doing the parts of my business that I really love and am good at. She set up systems and automations that mean I don’t have to spend my time faffing about with admin and can instead focus on delivering content and value to the people I want to serve. She has such a professional and warm understanding of what small businesses and entrepreneurs need to streamline and save time. If you’re feeling stretched, bogged down or not sure how to make your business run more efficiently, Ellie is your girl!”
