"I have just completed the Simple Systems to Scale Group Programme and I wanted to share how amazing it has been for my business. As someone who is not naturally organised and hates anything filing etc, I was a bit wary of starting the course, especially at the start of my business journey, but it has been so useful. I now can find things easily which saves me so much time onboarding clients and keeping track of who I have spoken to. For the first time I have a proper system for all the functions of my business. I would thoroughly recommend taking this course to really start to see what is going on in your business and managing it so much more effectively in the day to day. Thanks so much Charlotte!"

Jill Pringle – Brand Symphony Marketing
"I'm so glad I found Charlotte and her business CVA Associates. Charlotte is so friendly, client focused and organised in the way she runs her business, and matches clients like me with our exec assistants. If you're a business owner and need a bit of support to take away all the small, fiddly, technical tasks each week, or need help with a particular project, then the range of people and skills Charlotte can access is amazing. I got support setting up all of my GDPR processes, my CRM and Email Automations, project managing my website rebuild and then ongoing admin and marketing tasks. What's best about Charlotte is she matched me perfectly with my EA Gill, and also stays in touch regularly to make sure things are working well. A real pleasure to work with."

Rose Cox – Certified Human Potential Coach, Advanced Rapid Transformational Therapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist
"I recently had an online session with Charlotte where she walked me through her business hub set up in ClickUp. It was super useful and I came away with great strategies to implement for my own business in helping me keep everything systematised and on track, both with my goals, my overall business planning and right down to my project planning and daily task management.

I highly recommend working with Charlotte if you need someone to show you the most structured and easy to implement way to keep track of everything related to your business."

Why Choose The Blend-able Way® Living?

The “Blend-able way®” is a concept that implies a holistic and integrated approach to life, work, and health. It suggests that instead of striving for a traditional notion of balance, where these aspects of life are kept separate and equal, you aim to blend them seamlessly together into a harmonious and complementary whole.

In the Blend-able way®, you seek to find synergy and integration between your personal life, your professional life, and your health and well-being.

Essentially, the Blend-able way® encourages you to find a way of living that allows you to pursue your career goals, enjoy a fulfilling personal life, and maintain good health without constantly feeling like you have to choose one over the other.
