Your VA offer in one sentence (post yours below)
Hi everyone!! This week's challenge: ⭐ Your service offer in just ONE sentence. ⭐ What do you do, for whom, and what changes for them when they hire you? Post it below. If you can't say it in one sentence yet, that IS the exercise. Getting stuck is useful information because it usually means you're still trying to be everything to everyone, and that's exactly what we're fixing. Once you've posted yours, read two other offers in the thread and leave a comment on what you'd sharpen. You'll learn as much from giving feedback as you will from getting it. Here's an example: "I help busy founders free up 10+ hours a week by managing their inbox, calendar, and client communication so they can focus on the work only they can do." Your turn. Drop it below. 👇

@Fabiola Castillo Fabiola Fabiola "lead their business instead of running it." That's the whole thing in six words. Really sharp!

@Peninnah Wainaina Peninnah this is a very clear and specific offer! Email marketing and lifecycle automation is a strong niche and "repeat customers" is exactly the outcome a business owner cares about. Well done!

Have you told people that you're starting a VA business??
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 🙌

@Jen Fusilier Jen never too late! And your sister joining you on this journey is such a good thing, accountability partners who are actually doing the same work are rare. Send her this way, the more the merrier! 🙌

Module 4 - Rates question
I completed Module 4 regarding the rates. I took my list and plugged it into perplexity and it provided me different rates for the list of services based on their categories. This is what it gave me I would start with: - $30/hr for administrative work. - $38/hr for customer support and hiring coordination. - $50/hr for operations, SOPs, and process improvement. - A two-hour minimum for ad hoc work. - A 25%–50% rush premium for urgent, same-day, evening, or weekend requests. - A monthly retainer minimum of $600–$750. I guess my question is, would I start with different rates depending on the type of project/task; is that ok to do?

@Gwen Daniels Great question! The "hold-the-line" script is more for boundary-setting than anything module-specific. It's the language you use when a client pushes back on your rate, asks for a "favor" rate, or tries to negotiate scope creep after you've already quoted them. Instead of getting caught off guard and either caving or fumbling for words, you write out ahead of time exactly what you'll say to hold your rate/boundary calmly and professionally. Think of it as your go-to response for moments like "Is there any way you could come down on price?" On your rate calculator question: yes, the $48/hr is your actual client-facing rate. The calculator builds in a buffer on top of your $40/hr base (to account for things like taxes, non-billable admin time, tools/software costs, etc.), so $48/hr is the number that already has that buffer baked in. $48 is the all-in rate you'd quote. So for that client at 20 hrs/week: - You'd invoice at $48/hr (or use the monthly retainer of $960 if you're doing a flat monthly rate instead of hourly billing) "Rate confidence: Priced with confidence" just means the calculator sees this rate as sustainable given your inputs, not underpriced for the market or your experience level. Hope this helps!

@Gwen Daniels I am HUMBLED beyond believe. It's amazing how many times I can look at my program and completely skim over something as crucial as packages and retainers. That's a nice way of saying, "did I forget to include that?" Head back to module 4, I have just shared the most recent iteration of hourly vs retainer vs packages.

Any Va working on Upwork?
I am currently working with someone in Canada as a VA. But i want more clients via the upwork platform. Can anyone guide me if you have any sort of experience with upwork or other freelancing platforms?

I suggest starting with LinkedIn search. This video is old but still works in terms of using search bar and filters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HhOnQXJT9I&feature=youtu.be
