The Systems Girl

Most VAs don't have a productivity problem.They have a system problem. In this episode, Kerrie is joined by Marianne Tansley, also known as the Systems Girl, to unpack why systems have such a bad reputation and what they actually look like when they're built to support you. Because systems aren't rigid frameworks or 25 step processes. They're the structure that lets you stop carrying it all in your head. They dive into how virtual assistant business owners can: Reframe what a system actually is, and let go of the corporate baggage attached to the word Spot the quiet moment their business has turned them into the bottleneck Build filing systems and naming conventions that hold up as the business grows Use Microsoft 365 tools like Bookings, Forms and Teams to scale without overwhelm Decide what to systemise first when everything feels like it needs attention Make the mindset shift that separates VAs who stay stuck from VAs who build something that runs without them If you've ever felt like the problem is you, that you should be more on top of things, that everyone else has it figured out, this conversation will land. Because the work isn't the problem.It's the background noise. Hit play and give your brain some of its space back.
