Just an early heads up.... we close our books to new clients in mid July for the Summer... it's one of the things I promised myself I would always do, no matter how busy the business gets.🤩 It's part of 'walking our talk' - I run a fully inclusive and flexible business and lots of my team (and clients) are parents who juggle 🤹♀️an insane amount over the Summer. We support our existing clients all through the year, including the Summer holidays by planning our workload 📃💻and ensuring that our clients get what they need before they take more downtime too.🏖️ But, setting up new clients isn't something we do over the Summer - our team are in the middle of planning for their own juggle, and onboarding clients needs time - for us and the client - and being frank, our clients don't want that over the Summer either. So, if you want marketing support in place before the Summer madness hits you, let me know asap before we close to new clients until after the holidays, and we'll get all the groundwork laid in good time so you benefit from the headspace we can give you! ☺️☺️ #smallbusiness #flexiblemarketingsupport #marketingsupport #summerlife #smallbusinesssummer

Don’t forget to do those all-important tasks before signing off for 2023 and Happy Holidays: ✅ Put your out-of-office on (humbly bragging that you’ve saved up those holidays all year). ✅ Change your voicemail (people still use phones to make phone calls, right?) ✅ Prime those emails ready to send just before you finish for the year (don’t want any tasks waiting for you when you get back, and you know how people love a good ‘can you just’ before a holiday). ✅ Arrange those first week back meetings (because right now they seem so far away.... 'they'll never come round'). ✅ Write cards for everyone you hardly talk to in the office (don’t want to appear rude, we did chat back in June 09). ✅ Send that generic ‘thanks for all your support this year’ email to all colleagues and clients (to show you care, personally). ✅ Finally remove all the dirty cups and plates from your desk (caring for the cleaners this winter). ✅ Make sure you use HAPPY HOLIDAYS instead of Xmas/Christmas as to not offend anyone. ✅ Arrange pens, pencils and post-its in a symmetrical order.* ___________ Do like the other 13,000+ followers and benefit from more marketing tips.

🗓️New day, new week, new month, new quarter and a new half of the year! No idea how it’s already July 1, but I’m here for it! Any day is a good day to start making plans towards your next goal … or even just plotting out life and business. Last July (2023), I did substantial planning for the coming year (2024) and it’s proven to be so helpful — and fairly accurate. For example, I: • Set my anticipated PTO days; • Blocked weeks/days I know I wouldn’t travel due to other life commitments; • Then, carve out the ideal weeks/days for travel, if needed; • Document what worked/what didn’t/what I wanted to do different in the coming seasons; and • Noted what clients were talking about at different parts of the year. For instance, July is the season many Legal Ops teams start honing in on their outside counsel management practices, and getting ready for year end activity (hard to believe). Whether it’s a business goal or life planning, 1️⃣ Take the time to make a plan, at least a tentative one — you’ve got to start from somewhere 2️⃣ Seek input from stakeholders as needed; and 3️⃣ Be flexible — it’s not a perfect science. Again, point is to start from somewhere. Need help in brainstorming the plan for that next legal ops project? Happy to help — drop me a note or feel free to set up time over a virtual coffee ☕️ Calendly Link in bio — Love my new planner or want a new one? I just received my new 2024 (2nd Half)/2025 to help me with that forward thinking. Anyone else geek out over a new planner? 📒@thepaperandplanco (Instagram)
