Build Your Own VA
create an AI assistant to do your busy work for you (for people who are intimidated by ai)
MONDAY NOVEMBER 9, 12pm EST
$300, 20 spots available
You didn’t start a coaching business to be your own admin department.
You started it to coach. To help people. To do the work only you can do.
But right now the day-to-day stuff is eating your actual business alive.
First there's the admin stuff you can't ignore
- Updating your website
- Client follow up emails
- Trying to figure out how to make your broken contact form work again (ugh!)
And then there is all the stuff you only wish you had time for but takes a backseat because there are only so many hours in a day
- You wish you could record video testimonials from your clients (but you don't have time to learn how to edit)
- You'd love to be able to get more content created for all your various channels that are just sitting there collecting dust
- Digging into the numbers and actually seeing what is working and what's not would be so helpful, but you have no idea how to actually track everything properly or effectively (spreadsheets are not really your thing)
And the thing that would fix all this (hiring a VA), isn't in your budget right now.
The dream
What you actually want
SOMEONE TO JUST DO THE BORING STUFF FOR YOU
Follow up emails, editing videos, uploading emails and scheduling posts - all done automatically.
YOUR HOURS BACK
So you can have the time to do the work that grows your business: coaching, selling, being a human being with a life.
REAL SUPPORT WITHOUT THE COST
And in this case "real support" is currently just you and a lukewarm coffee learning how to build your own VA
Sound familiar?
Why it hasn’t happened yet
Let’s be honest about what you’ve already tried.
YOU'VE THOUGHT ABOUT HIRING A VA
And then looked at the price, and closed the tab. Totally fair: when you’re new, every dollar matters, and handing stuff off feels daunting (and expensive)
YOU'VE POKED AROUND AT AI
You asked ChatGPT for a post, got something that sounded like a LinkedIn robot wrote it, and thought “this doesn’t sound like me” (because it doesn’t)... and decided AI wasn't for you.
YOU'VE HEARD OF CLAUDE
But all you know is that it writes better than ChatGPT. People are talking about everything else it can do, but you're clueless. You're not techy. You don't even know what you don't know.
That last one is the real stopper. It’s not that you can’t do it. It’s that no one has shown you where to start, in plain English, while you’re doing it with your own business on your own computer.
Reading about it doesn’t work. Watching a tutorial doesn’t work. (If it did, you’d have done it already. You’re smart!) You need someone next to you while you actually build the thing.
Let’s talk about
the “I’m not techy” thing
Here’s what “BUILDING YOUR OWN VA” actually looks like
You type what you want, in normal words, like you’d text a person.
That’s it. “Take these questions and write a friendly follow-up email for each one.” “Find the broken links on my website.” “Tell me what worked in my last launch.”
No complicated coding or messing with the backend of your systems. Anyone can do this.
And you won’t be figuring it out alone at 11pm with a confusing tutorial. In this workshop we will set it up together, one small step at a time, with real people helping you while you do it. If you get stuck or something isn't clear, this is a small group workshop so you can just raise your hand and we will help you out.
I’m not super techy myself. If I can do this, anyone can.
YOUR HOSTS FOR
"BUILD YOUR OWN VA"
Mikey Wasnidge. Mikey will be the actually teaching this workshop. Mikey is a friend and a serial entrepreneur who has started and sold several companies. He uses AI every single day to do the work of about ten people. He’s the person I called when I wanted to go deeper into how I could be using AI in my business, and he’s the one who’ll show us what’s possible when you stop treating AI like a glorified Google search and start treating it like staff.The workshop
Build Your Own VA
This is a 4-hour live working session. By the end of the morning you’ll:
1
Have your new VA installed and running on your own computer via Claude Code.
We will get the most confusing step out of the way and so we can get to work.
2
Have a “brain” for your business
Your voice, your offers, your clients, your rules, will all be integrated, so that anything you have your VA create is created from that space.
3
Have 2-3 real tasks working that save you actual hours
We will be working LIVE in your real business on real tasks that have been on your to-do list for months.
4
Know exactly what to hand off next
When we are done, you will know exactly how to use your VA to help you hand off more stuff anytime you want.
What’s included
- 4 hours live on Zoom with me and Mikey, working in real time (this is not a lecture, you’re actually going to be working in your business the whole time)
- Hands-on help while you build, so you don’t get stuck on the technical stuff
- Your starter setup to take home, so you can keep going after we sign off
- The recording Fair warning: this is a working session, so the real magic happens live. Come live if you can.
Total time commitment: 4 hours, one morning. Plus a little prep so we can hit the ground running (we’ll send you a short checklist).
Your investment: $300 USD
(* you will also need to sign up for a a paid Claude account for $23/month. This will not work on the free version)
Real results
What people are saying
Is this right for you?
Let’s make sure it’s a fit
This is for you if…
- ✓You already have a coaching business and you’re doing it all yourself
- ✓You’ve thought “I need a VA” and then thought “…but I can’t afford one”
- ✓You’re not techy (or you think you’re not), and you want someone to walk you through every click, in plain English
- ✓You can write an email and use Google Docs. That’s genuinely all the “tech skill” you need
- ✓You want to see it working for your business, not watch someone else’s demo
- ✓You’re a doer. You’d rather build something this morning than sit through another webinar
This is not for you if…
- ✕You’re not willing to install something on your computer. We’re building live on your machine
- ✕You want to watch and take notes. This is a working session, and you’ll be doing the work
- ✕You don’t have a business yet. This is for people already working in their business
- ✕You’re looking for a deep dive into how AI works under the hood. We’re going for useful, not academic
- ✕You can’t make it live. The recording helps, but it isn’t the same
Still wondering?
Questions you might be asking
“I’m not techy. Will I be lost?”
That’s exactly who this is for. This workshop was designed for non-techy people. I’m not a developer either. You’ll type in plain English (no code, ever), we go one small step at a time, and there’s help while you do it, so nobody gets left behind. If you can write an email and use Google Docs, you can do this. The only thing you need is a willingness to try.
“What stage of business should I be at to benefit from this?”
Any stage! Your VA can pitch in wherever you are right now: creating your opt-in form and the opt-in itself, helping you come up with content, brainstorming places to market yourself, and plenty more.
“What if I get stuck or break something?”
You won’t break anything, and you won’t be stuck for long. Mikey and I are there the whole four hours to get you unstuck.
“I can’t afford a VA. Is this really a replacement?”
It’s not a replacement for a human. It’s a bridge. When you’re new and budget is tight, this gives you real support now, so you aren’t doing everything by hand while you save up. And when you’re ready to hire, you’ll know exactly what to hand off.
“What happens if I already have a human VA?”
Great! I wouldn’t let them go just yet. I’ve personally found that helping my human team members learn how to use their own AI VA lets them offload the mundane tasks that take up so much of their time, which frees them up for more strategic thinking.
“I tried ChatGPT and it sounded like a robot. Why would this be different?”
Because we teach it who you are first. Your voice, your clients, your offers. But also - this is about so much more than writing! Yes, you can use it to write, but we will teach you EVERYTHING else it can do for you too.
“I don’t even know what I don’t know.”
Good. That’s the point. You don’t have to know what to ask for. We’ll show you what’s possible, then help you pick what to work on first.
“Is $300 worth it?”
Think about what a VA costs per hour (usually $35/hour in the online biz world). Think about the hours you spend every week on tasks that could be handled. One of my projects took what would have been hours of copy-paste and turned it into minutes. This workshop pays for itself the first time you use it (plus you can keep using your VA again and again).
“What if I can’t make it live?”
There’s a recording. But I’ll be honest: this is a working session, and you’ll get far more out of it live, with us helping while you build.
“What do I need to bring?”
A computer, a paid Claude account ($23/mo), and a few real tasks from your own business. We’ll send a short prep checklist after you register.
