During May half-term, I had a short caravan holiday with my extended family on the east coast, in our favourite place, West Mersea. We had mixed weather, but still had a couple of days on the beach. I love that feeling after a day at the beach.
The sun is setting, the breeze is warm, and you’ve got sand in your toes and salt in your hair. You’re tired — but it’s the good kind of tired. The kind that comes from switching off, letting go, and enjoying the moment. Now imagine feeling that way about your business.
Running a small business often means you’re carrying far too much. Spreadsheets you’ve been meaning to update. Email lists in a tangle. A CRM that no one really uses properly. Duplicate tasks. Missed opportunities.
It’s like hauling a beach bag full of half-used sun cream, soggy towels, and someone else’s flip-flops — every single day. Exhausting. Draining. And not how business should feel.
That’s where I come in. At Oyster Flame, I help you drop the admin overwhelm and smooth out the messy stuff. Think of it as handing over that beach bag — and finding it neatly packed and ready for the next adventure.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
✅ Cleaning up and organising your spreadsheets
✅ Setting up or streamlining your CRM system
✅ Managing your email lists and newsletters
✅ Creating calm, effective processes that actually work
You don’t have to keep juggling it all. In fact, your business runs better when you don’t.
A Client recently said… “I finally feel like I can breathe again. I’d been staring at the same messy data for months. Now it’s sorted, streamlined, and I don’t dread it anymore.” – One very relieved client
Think what you would do with that headspace? Perhaps you’d take a proper break? Or focus on growing your business? Or just enjoy working on your business again instead of constantly being in the weeds? Whatever it is, I can help make it happen — one organised spreadsheet and simplified system at a time.
Here’s a quick comparison to show what I mean:
| Overwhelmed (Beach Bag Chaos) | Outsourced (Beachside Calm) |
| Sticky spreadsheets | Clean, easy-to-read dashboards |
| Messy email lists | Streamlined, segmented mailing systems |
| CRM nobody updates | CRM that actually supports your workflow |
| Endless admin to-dos | Freed-up time for higher-level work |
| Feeling frazzled | Feeling focused, clear and in control |
If your business feels more like a sandy mess than a calm shoreline, let’s talk. You bring the vision. I’ll bring the clarity.
