Virtual Pro Society

Virtual Pro Society I help women who run the backend of online businesses build smarter systems, templates, and digital products.

Most of the women I work with are virtual assistants or online business specialists doing far more than entry-level work.

Y’all, your service menu should genuinely excite you to talk about. Not tolerate, not just get through, but EXCITE you. And if it doesn’t, something is off. It’s usually one of two things. Either you’re offering services you don’t actually like doing because you think that’s what clients want, or you’re sitting on skills you don’t realize are completely sellable. Both happen way more than most VAs want to admit. I’ve seen VAs doing inbox management with four thousand unread emails in their own inbox. I’ve seen people who could live in Canva all day but don’t offer design because they don’t think it counts. It counts. I’ve seen VAs who understand systems and workflows better than anyone in the room but have never thought to put that on a service menu. And don’t even get me started on how many of you know AI better than the clients you’d be working for and are still waiting until you feel “ready” to offer it. Here’s what I know after doing this for a while. The VAs who build businesses they actually love aren’t necessarily more talented than anyone else. They just got honest about what their zone of genius is and built around THAT instead of building around what they thought they were supposed to offer. If you’ve been grinding through work you tolerate instead of work you’re actually built for, that’s worth sitting with for a minute.

I’m gonna say the quiet part out loud, and honestly at this point it’s not even that quiet anymore because I see more and more people talking about it every single day.

A lot of the content flooding your feed right now was written by AI with zero real input behind it. The perspective is gone, the real experience is missing, and most importantly there is NO ACTUAL OPINION anywhere in sight. Just a vague request and then whatever came out getting posted like that’s a content strategy. You can tell, and honestly everyone can tell because it has a very specific flavor of — oh I don’t know — NOTHING. But here’s what I want you to understand. AI is genuinely powerful when you actually bring something real to it. YOUR experience, YOUR take, your specific context that nobody else has. That is what makes the output sound like a person worth following instead of a very confident and honestly pretty boring search engine. If your AI content sounds like it could have come from anyone, that is the problem to fix, and I promise you it is not the tool’s fault.

Y'all. I once sent a contract to a client, felt really good about myself, and then approximately four hours later realized I had not included a single thing about revision limits. Not one. She came back three weeks later with her ninth round of "just a few small tweaks" and I had nothing to point to. Nothing. Just my own choices staring back at me.

That was a fun invoice conversation. Truly.

The thing is, most of us are out here using contracts we cobbled together from a free template we found in a Facebook group in 2021 and never actually read all the way through. And it works fine. Until it doesn't. And when it doesn't, you are on your own.

The Complete VA Contract Kit is what I wish I had back then. Built from 8+ years of real client situations, written in plain language, and reviewed by an attorney. It covers the stuff that actually comes up, not just the obvious stuff.

Your future self will thank you. Or at the very least she won't be sitting across from a client on round nine with absolutely nothing to say.

Virtual assistants do this more than they’ll admit. You sign the client, send the agreement you’ve always used, and somewhere in the back of your mind there’s a quiet “I hope this actually covers me” that you’ve learned to ignore.

That feeling isn’t paranoia. It’s the part of you that knows a free template you found online and never really read probably wasn’t written with VA work in mind.

The Complete VA Contract Kit is the thing you check yours against. Built by Christi Balfour with years of experience and hundreds of client agreements, it covers the situations VAs actually run into. Scope creep, a client who stops paying, verbal scope that gets reinterpreted later, a project with no way out. Written in plain language, reviewed by an attorney.

It’s worth ten minutes to compare what you’re using now against what was actually built for this work. Comment CONTRACT to see what’s inside.

I’m thrilled to announce that I have been selected, unanimously and by no one but myself, to serve as Chief Do Everything Officer, Lead Tech Troubleshooter, Resident Shiny Object Chaser, and Professional Rabbit Hole Explorer at Virtual Pro Society. The selection committee was rigorous. It was just me in my pajamas making a decision I couldn’t take back.

In this role I will continue to oversee all operations, which includes but is not limited to: learning software I don’t need, signing up for platforms I will use twice, and spending forty-five minutes troubleshooting something that turns out to be a browser issue.

I have also been asked to continue my tenure as the person who feels genuinely guilty for not liking every single one of my friends’ posts, even though I follow approximately a gazillion people and I have a business to run.

My inbox will remain a crime scene. I’ve made peace with it and I don’t want to hear it. My systems in literally every other area of my life are immaculate and I will die on that hill.

I am deeply humbled by this opportunity and look forward to another year of doing it all, questioning all of it, and figuring it out as I go anyway.

The ceremony was just me hitting publish. Congratulations to me.

Okay so I sell a custom GPT and I also use Claude regularly. I know. Stick with me.

A lot of people in my community have made the switch to Claude for their day-to-day AI use and I think that's totally fine. But I've noticed some of y'all using it as a reason to skip the VA Whisperer and I want to clear something up.

Claude is a great general purpose tool. What it isn't is a VA business coach with years of experience in your specific industry and the corporate background that actually informs how I teach it. Every time you ask it something about your pricing or a tricky client situation, you're starting from zero. It doesn't know what a retainer looks like, it doesn't understand the scope creep spiral, and it definitely doesn't know what you should have in your contract before a client burns you.
The VA Whisperer does. That's the whole point.

The workflow I actually use is simple. VA Whisperer for the VA-specific stuff, then whatever AI tool I want for everything else. The output from one works just fine in the other.

If you've been holding off because you're a Claude person, that's honestly not the reason you think it is. Still at the intro price if you want to grab it. Link is in the comments.

I think a lot of VAs are hesitant to try one more group, membership, or course because honestly? There is so much crap out there.

People have been burned. Scammed. Sold expensive programs they could barely afford, only to finish them and still sit there wondering where the clients are.

I get it.

That’s actually part of why I brought this membership back differently.

I didn’t want another space full of recycled advice, gatekeeping, fake transparency, or people acting like every useful piece of information is “too good to share.” I’m not playing that game.

I’ve been doing this for years now. I’ve made mistakes. Expensive ones. Awkward ones. “Oh lordy, why did I do that?” ones. But I’ve also built a real business, worked with incredible clients, learned what works, and learned what absolutely does not.

And I don’t mind sharing those things because honestly, I want other women to win too.

That’s the whole point.

I know some of you are probably thinking, “I just cannot spend $10 on one more thing right now.” Totally fair. That’s almost the cost of one bougie coffee these days, and I promise I’m not about to start asking how many of those you’re drinking every week.

I just wanted this to feel accessible. Useful. Honest. A place where people can actually learn, ask questions, and build something sustainable without feeling intimidated or constantly sold to.

That’s what I’m trying to create here. Link to get a full week example of prompts & canva templates is in the comments. No cost, free, nadda.

This isn’t about having everything perfect before you go after clients. It’s about knowing where your gaps are so you’re not figuring it out at someone else’s expense.

Most of the problems VAs run into with clients aren’t client problems. They’re business structure problems that showed up at the worst possible time.

Go through this list. Save it. Share it with a VA friend who needs it too. Gatekeeping is so yesterday.

Nobody walks into a new client relationship thinking this is going to be a disaster. And yet here we are.

The ones that go sideways hit completely different when there is nothing in writing to point to. No scope. No payment terms. No exit clause. Just a whole lot of “but I thought” and “that’s not what I meant” and you eating the cost of someone else’s confusion.

A contract does not make you difficult. It makes you someone who takes their business seriously. The right clients will not even flinch at it. The wrong ones will tell on themselves the second you send it over.

Y’all, get your paperwork in order. Said with love. 🥰
