A brief introduction – who is Jeannine Clontz? 

Hello, 

I’ve owned and operated my own VA practice for more than fourteen years. About two years into it, I was ready to throw in the towel and go back to corporate America. Luckily, a competitor I had done some sub-contractor work for told me something incredible…she told me not to give up. She said that I did great work, had wonderful skills and that I really presented myself very professionally. 

She also said that it usually takes 3-5 years for you to turn the corner and start really making an income from this type of a business. So, I pulled up my bootstraps and went on to make about every mistake possible in starting and growing a business.

Then in 2005 I was approached by a member of the International Virtual Assistants Association (www.ivaa.org) who asked if I’d ever thought about writing a book on how to start a VA practice. She thought that since I was currently the president of IVAA, it might be good timing. So my dear friend and awesome editor, Lauren Hidden, spent the next eight months with me creating Entrepreneurial Freedom, How to Start and Grow a Profitable Virtual Assistance Practice. 

The rest, as they say, is history. Not only has the book proven to be wildly successful to people looking to start such a small business, but we were also asked by several community colleges to create a companion workbook so they could include our book as a part of their continuing education curriculum. Then last summer I was contacted by a local community college who wanted me to teach the course. 

It’s been a very wild ride that has led me to an extensive speaking and writing career, and finally to develop a coaching program to continue to help improve the business climate for VAs worldwide. 

Most of my coaching programs and systems are setup for the more established and full-time VA. With that in mind, I wondered what I could do to help those people who are just looking to get started, or really needed that push to get their business organized, like I did in my second year. 

I bolted up in the middle of the night and had my, ah-ha moment – why not use the materials I already have in place to create an online course designed with the newer VA (up to 5-years in business) in mind. 

TA-DA! Welcome to my ‘Just Getting Started’ program for VAs ready to grow their business, someone who is part-time looking to get more organized or take their business full-time, or for the more established VA who just needs to kick start their business. Really anyone who feels stuck or puzzled by how to take their skills and expertise and turn it into a profitable business. 

Are you ready to take the plunge?
Are you ready to create the business of your dreams?
Read on…
 

The Business Essentials for a Virtual Assistance Practice, is a ten-week course (60-90-minutes per week) designed to take you step-by-step through the process of starting or growing your VA practice. Utilizing the companion workbook, you’ll quickly see how it will allow you to formulate your ideas, plans, and dreams. 

Here’s what’s covered in the book: 

Chapter One – Do you Have What it Takes?
Chapter Two – Planning Your Business
Chapter Three – Branding
Chapter Four – How to Find and Keep Clients
Chapter Five – Professional Development
Chapter Six – Marketing, Advertising & Public Relations
Chapter Seven – The Challenges of Working From Home
Chapter Eight – Ethical Considerations
Chapter Nine – Growing Your Business

Extra Content

Beyond the scope of knowledge covered in each Chapter, you’ll also have access to the results of our VA survey, sample documents and contracts. Everything you’ll need to get your small business off the ground and growing in the right direction. 

Each week we will go in-depth covering all the information in each Chapter, assist you in developing your workbooks, and there will even be two sessions completely devoted to Q&A. 

BUT THERE’S MORE!
Here’s what I Promise You This WILL Be

This is a hands-on, no-pitch, “Get ‘er Done” Program

This is going to be a very different kind of program than you may be accustomed to. It’s going to be “all Jeannine, all the time.” There will NOT be a parade of people trying to sell you piles of stuff. This is NOT a case where the program is a ‘come on’ so you’ll buy something else. It’s going to be high-content, focused content, where you’ll get everything you need to get your business going and get out of your own way in getting there. 

This program is geared ONLY toward entrepreneurs and solopreneurs working together, laughing together and growing together. I will help you create breakthroughs and teach you how to setup and grow a profitable VA practice while you will create amazing relationships and networking opportunities that will help build your confidence and build a business where you can make more money and have more time off to enjoy it all. 

Because isn’t that what this is all about? Isn’t that WHY you want to be, or are in business for yourself? If you don’t see a way to have money, time and freedom right now, you may as well go back and get a corporate job. 

One More Thing Though:
No Whiners, Complainers or Skeptics Allowed

 Here’s the deal. I really only like to hang out and surround myself with caring, open, honest, and ethical people who are ready to make big changes in their lives. With this program, we are going to create a safe environment so we can learn together, benefit from the experience, earn camaraderie, respect and support, and learn to create the business and life of our dreams.  

So, I want to be sure I’m really clear that this program is only for people VERY SERIOUS about getting into and growing a lucrative business, being open, authentic and efficient. 

This is NOT for people who make excuses and resist or question every suggestion I will give them, just because that’s how you operate your own lives. No thank you! 

If you are a negative person, this program would be a waste of time for you. We will be taking a no-excuses approach to getting what we want in business and in our lives! 

“Okay Jeannine, I’m ready! What’s my investment
to participate in this program?”

 Because I’m going to spend ten weeks with you, and we are limiting the program to a certain number of people, and it’s a true and complete start-to-finish program where you get to make decisions, complete processes, create or re-invent your business by the end of the program, and ask me questions on the spot, I’m sure you can guess that I’m NOT giving this away!  

When I tried to price this, I thought about the value you will get, and I considered other programs available to you. Personally, in my opinion, programs of this sort are PRICELESS. But I have to be practical. If I charge $150 per hour for a one-hour coaching session, this program would be valued at $2,250, not including ALL the bonuses I haven’t even mentioned yet. 

When I told my colleagues what I was offering in this program and how much value my attendees would get, they said I could easily charge $750-1,000 for this type of HANDS-ON program, and people would happily pay for it. 

However, this is my passion, and I want to be of service and support to as many people as I can. Knowing that, if I charged that much, I know that would price-out many of the people who actually NEED and WANT my help the most. 

So admission to my Business Essentials for a Virtual Assistance Practice program is just $297. 

The strategies you’ll learn in this program are the EXACT same ones that others have used to start and grow profitable businesses. 

What is THIS type of information worth to YOU?  Ready to get started?  Visit http://www.VAbizcoach.com/starters.html and sign-up NOW (we even have 2-EZ installments of only $148.50!)!

What about those BONUSES I mentioned earlier? In addition to receiving a copy of the Entrepreneurial Freedom book and workbook, every person who signs up and completes the program will also receive:

 

  • Free 30-minute private coaching session with Jeannine (a $75 value)
  • Free marketing plan strategy session 60-days after program completion (a $37.50 value)
  • Free follow-up 90-minute Q&A phone session with your class 90-days after program completion (a $112.50 value)
  • Free copy of my CD, “What’s Holding Back my Business Success?”  (a $12.95 value)
  • Free 1-month trial in Jeannine’s Virtual Assistance Inner Track after program completion (a $47 value)
  • 20% discount on Jeannine’s One-on-One Coaching program (a $200 value)
     

That’s more than $400 in Bonuses 

Can You Tell How PASSIONATE and INVESTED I am In Getting You
In This Program and Into Success?

Total, the program AND bonus value equals a whopping $2,600+. So, it’s clear that for just $297 (or 2 installments of $148.50), this is a no-brainer. But if you’re still undecided about making this investment in yourself and your future… 

Let’s Look At What Else You Could Easily
Spend $297 On Instead
 

A useless system built by someone with no experience working in the virtual assistance industry, trying to convince you to run your business their way; 

Print ads, online marketing, or marketing pieces created by a graphic designer with no idea of how to reach potential or target markets for VAs; or 

More books, e-books, manuals, audio programs and courses that will end up collecting dust in your computer files or on your shelf and won’t do a thing for you by themselves. Ugh! (And then you feel guilty about not using them, too!)
 

This Program Will Get You Engaged In
Creating Your Dream Business
Remember NO EXCUSES
It’s Time To GET REAL

 So, what are you waiting for? I’m ready, are YOU?
