Plus....as a VIP you can leave with
your very own professional website
with 6 months of free website maintenance($1000 value!)
As we've gone through this program, I've noticed one thing that has been a barrier to growing businesses -- having your own website! This just happens to be my virtual professional super power and I'm all about breaking down barriers. When you complete this program, we will design and host for 6 months, free of charge, your own professional services website.
Why do I need this program?
Can't I do it myself?
(Your skeptical husbands may be asking this question!)
You can. Like anything else online, it's learnable with a lot of trial and error. But with a personal Virtual Work Mentor, you go faster and have access to an experienced Virtual Business Strategist.
My own business always explodes when I insert the right mentors into my learning experiences. Mentoring works.

My own business always explodes when I insert the right mentors into my learning experiences. Mentoring works.
My 10+ year experience in the virtual professional space as a service provider and a client hiring virtual professionals, allows me to provide insights that others cannot.
I intentionally waited to launch this program until I felt I had the right experience to be not just a trainer but a mentor. No other program offers this kind of experience.
My strengths include strategy and organizational development. Getting the right people in the right seats.
This is how I serve you as a personal mentor in this program.

HOW CAN YOU GET DIFFERENT, BETTER RESULTS?
(I want you to build a successful Virtual Professional Business)
A personal message from Lori
Great question! I just had to share some of my own personal philosophy so you can see how this is different and if it makes sense for you to be part of the Virtual Professional community.
I'm not into selling "internet junk" and trying to make a fast buck. I'm here to build a long term sustainable business and that's what I want for YOU too.
That's the first key difference. I say VIRTUAL PROFESSIONAL. Yes this could mean you do VA work. But "VA" has a price tag connotation around it. And, I want you to be more than a VA. The VA industry is associated now with $3-5 / hour workers in the Phillipines (who have their place in the market but that's not who you want to compete with.)
This Virtual Work industry is sooooo new, it's like the wild west. It's ripe for the stars to just take those bulls by the horns and do things BETTER. To apply the professional skills you either learned in your corporate workplace or CAN LEARN through my program.
Do you know what the #1 complaint is about Virtual workers from great business owners? THEY AREN'T RESPONSIVE.
Now come on, that's a low hurdle to cross to elevate your game and become someone's right hand girl or guy.
Professionals are responsive, good communicators, thinking AHEAD of their clients, minimizing risk and saving time like they're an efficiency superhero. And the get the contracts and kudos that go along with that quality of professionalism.
We are here to create and elevate Virtual Professionals to --- better skills, better pay, better clients, better projects. Oh yeah. All from the comfort of your home with a flexible family-friendly schedule.
PS - You'll get the inside view of my Virtual Professional Competency Matrix and what it takes to move into the $30, $40 and $50 / hour range.

What if I already have clients?

Or you need a more efficient process to discover prospective clients and onboard them rapidly? These are all reasons to learn our methods to find, close and onboard new clients efficiently.
Do you offer any refunds or guarantees?
Most of all we like people to choose a program only when they are committed to doing the work and getting the results.

Because, that's the professional thing to do :)
How long do I have access to this course?

What format is the course content delivered in?
The course includes easy to follow video training supported by worksheets, PDF checklists. All the details are accessible in your own member portal where you can track your progress with completing each module.

Nope! I show you how to do all of this and make your business work with what you have and the free version of the many nice tools that are out there to support us Virtual Professionals. Will I show you recommendations for tools? Sure, I would be a terrible teacher if I did not, but that doesn’t mean that you have to buy any of them.

Boy, do I wish I met Lori before I left my job and struck out on my own. She has given us the keys to staying off the income roller coaster. Having a steady income stream AND a way to create fluid processes in your business is essential. Otherwise, it's a cycle of momentum, inertia, and trying to gain momentum again or accepting work that's not a good fit just to keep the money coming in - I know this well! As I pivot and refocus with my business, I'm excited to implement what I've learned and so grateful to her for creating this program. Do yourself and your family, business, a favor, and jump in!!
Lori is a trusted advisor and someone I consider as part of my “inner circle” to help guide me in the process of building my own virtual business. Lori has:
1) Opened my eyes to the world of virtual work opportunities leveraging my professional skills.
2) Equipped me with resources that help provide momentum and quick wins to build my business, while also establishing simple, scalable processes for long term.
3) Spoken “truth in love” every step of the way!
Her desire is to help professional women like you and me, including help in avoiding some of the pitfalls and landmines that come with being an entrepreneur. Her track record of creating businesses from the ground up (both non-profit and for profit) was already impressive, but the fact that she is sharing the tips and resources from her toolkit…WOW! Ladies, look no further because Lori is the real deal.

I'm amazed at the progress I made during the 6 Weeks to Clients program. When I started I was unclear on how to get clients, or where to even begin to look for freelance jobs, what kind of services or packages to offer, how much to charge, or what clients would be willing to pay for.
At the end of the 6 weeks I had gained my first monthly client, had a "Design Services" page up on my website, was confident in my pricing, had a plan in place for getting new clients, and even learned how to quickly spot scams.
I also learned how to write a better profile bio (for social media & job boards), how to on-board clients, manage client files, and what to include in a contract. And I was thrilled to discover the best places to search for virtual work, and the best tools and apps to use to communicate more effectively with clients and manage projects.
But the most valuable part of the program was probably the accountability, encouragement, and new friendships. I'm quite sure I would not have made so much progress without these elements. Plus, I loved how Lori went above and beyond in providing so much value, answering all our questions and providing insights about work/life balance. Now I am so excited about the future, and am confident that I can get and serve clients well.

6 Weeks to Clients gave me the tools and the confidence to step out and start my own business. Lori cuts through the clutter and helps you focus on the tools you have already.
I was inspired and empowered. 6 weeks to Clients helped me focus on how to get from where I am now to where I want to be next month and showed me the way to get there.
