I effectively have all the basics set up that I need to have and should be able to start really marketing myself & finding clients. However, I'm holding myself back because I feel like I need to have contracts available for clients to sign, protecting us both. I don't feel right about taking on work without having the safeguard of a document that I could, theoretically, point to in court and say, "This clause is why I did/didn't do XYZ." Am I overthinking this? I can't afford to join the classes & such that Erin or other coaches offer that tend to have either contracts available for you to customize or at the very least, lessons on how to go about setting up contracts. I'm doing this all on my own, with Claire (my ChatGPT) and Claude as my guides & confidantes.

The replay from our last call is up, and it's a good one! We got into how to run discovery calls that lead with your client's problems instead of your service list, why custom packages land better than a menu of everything you offer, and why following up 6 or 7 times isn't pushy, it's just how clients get won. @Stanley Azubuike chisom walked us through exactly how he prospects, from digging deep to find a client's pain points to making every follow-up worth opening, plus the tools he uses to make it all easier (LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Google Alerts, and email tracking). We also talked about building a portfolio when you're brand new, whether to niche down yet (short answer: not yet, try a few things first), how to break into healthcare VA work, and how to wrap up the year by looking at what's actually working so you walk into 2027 with a plan. If you missed it live, grab a notebook and give it a watch!

Y'all, I think I have nailed down my brand name and a logo suite, and I'm so excited! Primary logo attached here! (Hopefully it posts with better quality than this preview!)

This week we're talking about the thing everyone's afraid of: telling people you're a VA. Your challenge: by Friday, tell ONE person in your real life that you're building a VA business. Comment "one person" below if you're in, and come back to tell us how it went 🙌
