Read the full show notes here: https://www.victoriatretis.co.uk/podcast-club/caro-syson Today's guest is Caro Syson, founder of Pocket PA.

The Pocket PA app helps self-employed business owners to feel organised in their business & get their accounts done (without the hassle of boring spreadsheets).

Pocket PA is a neuroinclusive, one-stop business management tool for anyone who is self-employed and wants to get organised using a very simple system without any jargon! The use of colour is a cornerstone to ensuring it is simple to use and understand.

From bookings to book-keeping, Pocket PA was originally created for her own 19 year old daughter Megan - and Caro talks about how you can transform your own business admin headaches to become a thing of the past by getting a 360 view on your whole business, using it to make more money, understand your business finances at a glance and to automate as much as possible.

Caro is passionate about sharing the power of systems and processes like Pocket PA to help manage your finances, diary and clients to sky rocket your business profits and help to leverage your time.

No more boring business admin when you use Pocket PA, and Caro's offering a 14-day trial. Just go to www.PocketPA.com to sign up.

Tune in today to learn about Caro as well as her thoughts on neurodivergence and:

  • getting her own diagnosis in her 50s
  • the stereotypes around ADHD and ASD
  • masking and blending in to avoid standing out
  • designing the app to support her daughter's business goals and dyscalculia (numbers)
  • how she can't ever imagine retiring from work completely
  • and exactly what she means by her phrase, "the magic is in the mundane".

Btw - not sure which product in their range might be a good fit for you? I don't offer medical advice so I'm sharing my own experience here, particularly around my anxiety. If you're on prescription meds, always seek advice from a medical professional. If you have any other questions, just drop The Herbtender a message directly - they're all so super knowledgeable and will be very happy to help you.
