Your path to better business starts here.

Hey, I’m Karen

Business Admin Services

I take pride in being a Jack of all trades. I love being the go-to person when someone is not sure how to do something on the computer, or doesn’t have the patience for it. I love presenting clients with a solution to their problem that makes them giddy with happiness because they were previously stuck.

My experience is wide and I’m happy to work on small tasks, large projects, and everything in between.

Start your own business

A how-to guide: What you need to know to launch your small business in Australia

I know how exciting it feels to start your own business, and then how disheartening it is when you get caught up in trying to learn how to run a compliant business. It takes time away from doing the work you want to be doing.

Eventually I worked my way through the overwhelm, but I didn’t want anyone else to have to struggle, so I wrote the book that I wish I’d had when I started out. No more scrambling and searching different websites or being led astray by misinformation posted in online groups and forums!

Everything you need to get started is in this ebook. Whether you are a tradie, online course creator, artist, clinician, etc, and regardless of whether you sell products, services, or a mixture of both, this guide can help.

When the pathology place is right next to your favourite cafe and you’ve been fasting for your blood test … it’d be rude not to! ☕️ @thenookcafeadelaide Image description: Karen sits at a corner table, one wall covered in greenery and one in beautifully illustrated wallpaper featuring flowers and mushrooms.

In the latest episode of matching books with my hair … 𝘽𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙈𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙗𝙮 𝙀𝙧𝙞𝙠𝙖 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙧 I’ve been following Erika since before she launched her first book so I’m excited to dive into her second. It’s even got loads of questions to reflect/journal on so it’s right up my alley! Congratulations @thequeenofconfidence! Image description: Karen…
My life became infinitely better when I stopped comparing my life trajectory with that of others. Even if I wanted what they had, at the age they had it, I can’t change the past so why dwell on it? Maintaining the status quo and adopting societal norms doesn’t always suit me either, so why try…
Another successful writing session at my local (@thenookcafeadelaide). Image descriptions: 1. A table with an open laptop, delicious flat white, and notebook opened to a blank spread. 2.

📚☀️😻 SLOW, SUNNY SUNDAYS. A bit of reading, a bit of writing. What’s everyone else up to? Image description: a cat sitting on a couch soaks up the hint of sunshine coming through the window. In the foreground is a relatively chonky book, ‘The Secret History’, and a coffee in a black mug with white…
I'm so excited to share the news that I am one of six writers shortlisted for the Deep Creek Residency Fellowship for 2024! I can't tell you how amazing it is to know that industry professionals have read my work and can see the potential in it. Writing this memoir has come naturally to me…
I needed this 𝙗𝙤𝙬𝙡 of coffee to get going last Sunday morning, just until @mary.the.writer arrived for our writing session at my local, @thenookcafeadelaide. I met Mary almost a year ago, and we’ve spent a few hours together almost every Wednesday since then. But next week Mary returns to the U.S. to start the next…
Today’s reading and journalling spot is brought to you by ‘South Road traffic is hard to predict so I’m at the hospital very early for my post-surgery review appointment’ 😂 I am not a fan of just scrolling away on my phone unintentionally so I just about always carry a book and my journal, especially…
After having surgery last week I needed to catch up on some journalling so I visited my favourite cosy cafe, @thenookcafeadelaide. It’s a cafe full of books to read but today I was writing my own story! Video description: image labelled BEFORE shows a cafe table with a laptop, full coffee, and blank notebook pages.…
