Who We Assist

Chief Cook and Bottle Washer?

In Focus VA clients are successful solopreneurs from a wide variety of industries. They include coaches who conduct teleclasses, speakers who provide corporate training, consultants who travel frequently and work from a mobile office, and authors who work from home offices. What they all have in common is that, as self-employed people, they find themselves doing everything - customer service, website updates, vendor management, ordering more toner - EVERYTHING. They are the "chief cook and bottle washer"!

In Focus VA provides support to solo entrepreneurs who may be struggling with overseeing every aspect of their business management all by themselves. Generally, solopreneurs - consultants, coaches, and other SOHO (small office/home office) business owners - work alone to provide their service or expertise. And in the beginning, they manage. Savvy solopreneurs recognize that as their business grows, their success depends on having a great support system. Being self-employed doesn't mean you have to do everything yourself!

Is This You?

Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?

“When I started this business, I thought I’d spend all my time providing my service/product to clients, but instead…” Are you spending your days connecting with current and prospective clients, trying to grow your business, and your nights and weekends working on all the administrative aspects of running your business? You’re exhausted and you feel like you’ve dropped a few balls.

“My To Do list just keeps growing and growing!” You know exactly what you want to tackle, but just can’t get to it.

“I don’t have time to learn all the technology I want to use.” You haven’t sent out that newsletter or set up that blog because you're too busy to write, proofread/edit & post fresh content, or learn the software. You haven't gotten your information products on your website because you don't have time (or the desire) to set up a shopping cart & merchant account on your own.

“I don’t really want someone to work from my home office.” You don’t want the hassle or expense of an employee.

“My days are so full - how can I get it all done?” You wish you had more time to spend developing new products, developing new skills, or just hanging out with family and friends.

Our Ideal Client

Virtual Assistance is not for everyone. Clients are likely to be successful working with In Focus VA if:
  •  They are comfortable working "virtually", i.e., with a geographically dispersed team
  •  They are tech savvy - not necessarily experts, but are comfortable with and willing to utilize different technologies to grow their business
  •  They require on-going support, not occasional project work.
  •  They are ready to delegate
  •  They appreciate proactive support
  •  They are ready to invest in their business

Now that you know the kind of clients we work with, the issues we help them resolve and what our clients need to do to ensure their success with us, read here about How We Work.
