Dramatically Increase (and Crisis Proof) Your Freelance Business Income with the Virtual Team Success Kit
Oh, my friend, welcome.
I recognize you. I really do. In fact, I was walking in your shoes, just over a year ago…
Mmmmm hmmm, I know you: you quit your corporate job to become an entrepreneur. You’re providing a service. You’re a freelancer, you love it, and you’re rocking it out.
And it’s working: you’re doing well – working full-tilt, clients love you, the sun is out, and look! a rainbow!
And then you break your elbow. You’ve got the flu. Your child is in the hospital for a week with pneumonia and H1N1.
What do you do?
How do you take care of your clients and complete their projects?
What happens to your business – which is, let’s just admit it, entirely based on your time?
(Although that’s not what you want, right? Because a business based on selling your time means that when you don’t have time to sell, you don’t have business…
And that’s a BIG problem, especially if you get sick, or your kid does, or you want to go *gasp* on vacation.)
I know you’re worried about how to manage this – and I know because I’ve been there.
Like you, I’m an entrepreneur.
I’m the sole proprietor of an 18 month old business, The Small Business Transcriptionist. Business is booming, projects are flowing and my client base is growing – as is my monthly revenue.
Perfect, right?
And then last October – about a year into my new business – my three year old daughter was diagnosed with H1N1. She also had pneumonia. And asthma.

My little girl was in the ICU for 6 days – and of course I was there with her 24/7.

If I had been the only person completing client assignments, my business would have crashed and burned. Projects would have waited, clients would have disappeared into the clutches of my competition, and I wouldn’t have made a cent just when I needed money the most.
If my business model needed me to sit at a desk and transcribe my files myself, my business would have died.
Instead, while I was at the hospital with my daughter, my business kept…working.
This crisis could have devastated my business – but it didn’t, because I had systems and a virtual team in place.
And thank goodness I did that because if I hadn’t, I would have
- lost more than at least two weeks worth of revenue,
- lost the confidence of my clients,
- lost clients themselves, and with them future jobs…
We’re talking about thousands and thousands of dollars of lost revenue. Gone. *poof*
Instead, my projects were completed, my clients were happy, new jobs came in, invoices went out, and I returned to an in-box overflowing with well-wishes.
Introducing The Virtual Team Success Kit
How did I do it?
What’s the secret to building a business that works even when you don’t (or can’t)?
That’s exactly what I want to teach you in the Virtual Team Success Kit, my course that shows you how to develop and implement business systems to crisis-proof and multiply your income.
What you’ll learn in the Virtual Team Success Kit is the kind of work that you would hire an Online Business Development Manager to do for you.
And you’d pay that person $60 an hour, 30 hours a week, 50 weeks a year.
(That’s $90,000! Do you have $90,000 a year to pay out to a Business Development Manager?)
But in the Virtual Team Success Kit you’ll learn how to do it yourself from someone (me!) who learned how to do it for myself.
And here’s my secret:
As obvious as it may sound, my business keeps working – even when I’m on vacation, sick (it happens!) or focused on my family – because I got the back end of my business right.
I have a structure. I have systems. I have a virtual team and the tools to manage them.
That’s the difference between being a freelancer and owning a business.
And it is a BIG difference.
Although I am an entrepreneur, I’m not a “freelancer” – and that’s because I have a business that keeps working (and earning money!) even when I’m not.
And you can do it, too.

I can almost see you cringing.
You’re wondering:
But how do I do that?
Where do I find team members?
How do I screen them?
How do I assign projects and make sure they get done?
How do I stay in touch with my team?
How do I pay my contractors?
How do I develop systems – templates and tools – to do all of these things quickly and effectively?
In fact, you’re probably thinking, This all sounds like more work than I can take on – and I don’t even know how to do any of those tasks.
You’re might also be thinking that working with sub-contractors is…painful.
And you’re right. Working with contract employees can hurt, if you don’t have the tools to do it right.
Trust me, I know. Before I started my own business, I was in Human Resources. In fact, I was an HR Manager for a major chain of drugstores, managing a team of between 80 and 400 stores depending on what week in corporate mayhem you asked. I managed over 800 pharmacists, 400 stores and 1200 employees.
So I know about the pain that can come with managing people and performance.
And that’s where I learned one of my secrets: that the key to working with people – and getting them to perform – is to outline expectations and ‘the terms of engagement’ right from the beginning.
In the Virtual Team Success Kit, I teach you how to do that.
And if the contractor still isn’t performing?
I show you how to fix that, too. Fast.
Because what’s the alternative?
You can keep doing everything yourself…and that means your business is limited to the number of clients you can handle on your own. That means you’ve applied a ceiling to your income. That means you can only bill as much as you can do, yourself.
You can keep doing everything yourself and worry about the day when you have a crisis and can’t do it…and that day will come. We all get sick. We all have family emergencies. Which means the best thing you can do for your business – and your cash flow – is admit that problems happen. Anticipate them. Plan for them. Prevent them from devastating your business.
And when you do that, you’ll find that you did something magic:
You will unchain your revenue from your time. You will set your revenue free (to grow) – and take back some of your time, too.
Or…
You can keep “freelancing” instead of building a business and keep losing money. And time.

Not Having a Business System and Virtual Team Costs You Time (and Money)
Most freelancers think they’re saving time by doing it all themselves.
But in fact they’re just wasting time.
Here’s why.
Let’s say you’re an illustrator.
If you’re an illustrator, you don’t just complete an illustration and call it a day.
No, you track your time, you invoice, you communicate with clients, you investigate new techniques and technologies that might improve your work. You hang out on twitter and work on your marketing strategy.
So the thing you do – the service you provide – is just one part of your business.
And if you had a virtual team, you could assign some of the drawings to your contract illustrators. You could forward your time sheets to your assistant, who’d invoice the clients and update your books. You’d then talk a little more to your clients and drum up some new work.
You’d gain time and you’d make more money.
Instead of freelancing and scrambling to take care of the details, you’d have a business that almost takes care of itself.
And you wouldn’t have to pay on Online Business Development Manager $90K a year to do that for you.
That all sounds great, right?
Except you’ve got one big problem: you don’t know how to make all of this happen.
You don’t know how to turn your business into a business. You don’t have time to save time. You don’t have the money to outsource.
And even if you did have the time and money to build a virtual team (and trust me, I’ll show you how to find both), you don’t have the time to develop the systems to manage the team.
And that’s where the Virtual Team Success Kit comes in.
Everything I teach you in the Virtual Team Success Kit I’ve done in my own business.
I’ve figured out the secrets to managing subcontractors and virtual teams so that they perform. And I’ve developed the business system, templates, and tools to make it easy for you to do, too.
And I’ll teach you how to do it in your business in my course, the Virtual Team Success Kit.
