Where Virtual Assistants finally enjoy the time, freedom & profits of a Life-First Business®
I am now able to bring in 4-figures each month for our family working only 10-12 hours for clients each week on MY terms.
-Ashley, Source member
If there was a community that could get your cute self closer to those 20 hour workweeks, hitting consistent $5k, $10k or more months, and get your business to wherever-the-heck you want it to be…
Without spending thousands, would you finally feel supported enough to take the next step toward your business goals?
So you’re putting down $$$ on your dream kitchen reno, excited to operate your Life-First Business® from your gorgeously sun-filled office.
Every day…
Professional VAs, OBMs, and other service providers like yourself stumble on questions, like…
- How do I start charging more with retainer packages?
- How do I ACTUALLY only work 20 hours a week with kiddos?
- How do I hire and onboard new team members, the right way?
- How do I add mini-trainings, VIP offers or a course to my business model?
- How do I show up when my to-do list doesn’t match the mental energy in my tank?
- How do I [INSERT EVERYTHING YOU’VE WONDERED SINCE YOU STARTED YOUR BUSINESS HERE]??
Problem is: not having “here’s-exactly-what-you-do” game plan from a pro keeps them from moving forward.
IF GUT FEELINGS ARE TELLING YOU….
Wing-ing it solo while heading for burnout is not a sustainable option.
And despite those very normal hiccups in the beginning you KNOW you could hone your business success and follow your desires if you had the right expert support…
…THEN KEEP READING.
Cause what’s below could EASILY be the magic moment you look back on a few months from now when you’re booked out (with a waitlist!), and your secret nightmare of “what if I have to go back to my 9-5?” derrrrrfintely doesn’t apply to you anymore. 😉
Truth…
You started this whole “online business thing” with a kid on your hip (or a cat on your lap), a work-balanced dream on your heart, and (possibly) the unpleasant aftertaste of that MLM nightmare still in your mouth.
Now that you’re here, things have been going pretty ok!
Since entering this virtual space, you’re more present than ever with your partner, kids or fur-child.
You’re landing clients, squeezing in weekly exercise and bringing in income (though you could stand to be making more money while working less hours).
- Maybe your goals are to book-out your bread and butter for your first 5k month!
- Maybe you’re dreaming of soulmate clients and a waitlist so big you can start your own agency!
- Maybe you want to get more organized, visible and even land a podcast feature.
BUT…
- Freak out moments keep you up at night. like when a client ghosts your emails… “omg, clearly she wants to fire me!!”
- Not knowing how to do scale keeps you lost… so you never add that new offer to expand beyond 1:1 client services and into leveraged income
- You’re struggling to meet your own needs, keep tiny humans alive and increase your revenue all at the same time
- Understandable questions pop up all the time like: “How do I respond to a potential new client asking for a discount?”
And when these “how do I handle this?” situations come up – you’re alone with no coach or biz bestie to SOS.
SO…
- You post a Q in a free Facebook group, swimming with 15,000 other #girlbosses — and someone responds with an unsolicited pitch
- You try talking to your neighbor— and realize they don’t get online business (like everyone else in your life)
- And though your partner takes the gold medal for meal prep — you lose them the second you say something like “Slack!” “Dubsado!” or “am I experiencing imposter syndrome?”
Those rate raises and business goals never happen because the mental exhaustion of “ugh, just how?” is too overwhelming to navigate on top of all the life stuff you have to juggle!
The inevitable thought that comes next?
“I WISH I HAD A TRUSTED COMMUNITY TO TURN TO!”
I love that I have access to a community of other VAs and OBMs inside The Source. It’s a safe place where you can seek advice and also receive valuable trainings monthly. It’s a family and one that you need as you start, grow and nurture your business.

Sara Wiles, here!
Wife, mama, dog mama, Floridian, champagne connoisseur, four-letter word addict who went from corporate burnout to successful business owner working 20 hours a week (or less).
When I’m not doing CrossFit workouts with my hubby or de-constructing legos with my son — I’m helping virtual service providers start & scale Life-First businesses.
One that gives you the financial freedom to make career and family work together — without sacrificing mental health, well-being and time with loved ones.
And I don’t believe you need to pay the big bucks to learn how to do it.
That’s why I created THE SOURCE — a high-quality, yet affordable community specifically designed for service providers like you.
I’m based in the UK and the international ‘family vibe’ that The Source provides me makes me feel included and less alone as an entrepreneur. There is truly a collaboration over competition vibe. The monthly Zooms are the best – I always come away from them feeling like I’m wrapped in a bubble of supportive friendship, joy and love, feeling like “I CAN DO IT!”
I also feel like The Source has allowed me to move away from the “shoulds” of running an online business and allowed me to gain confidence in my own ability to make the decisions that are right solely for me. That’s been huge for me. I’ve gone from consistent £2k months to consistent £4k months! Most importantly I feel like I have a bigger circle of pals who ‘just get it’. I love the feeling of belonging to a group of women who are endlessly supportive, it really means the world.

What You Get & How It Works
INSIDE THE SOURCE
COMMUNITY
- Our high-touch Facebook group is where you’ll meet new biz besties in your industry who “get you” and are jumping at the chance to share with you everything they know (just ask!). You’ll also frequently see job postings by others in the community or opportunities to connect with referrals.

I wish I had THE SOURCE when I started my Virtual Assisting business. But for you… later today, you could be celebrating your decision to join inside the Facebook group, pressing play on your first rate-increasing masterclass, and dancing through the living room, telling your partner all about which big goal you’ll be tackling first.
And I don’t want anything standing between you and that moment.
I can’t wait for THE SOURCE to become your community of hype-humans cheerleading you toward the healthiest, most vibrant version of yourself (+ biz).
QUESTIONS FUTURE MEMBERS ASK…
BEFORE SAYING “LEMME IN!”
THE START is my program to kickstart your Virtual Assisting business with a rock solid foundation of skills in 6 weeks. But often, graduates want more support because this whole online business thing is brand new.
Growing your Life-First Business® inevitably brings you up against mindset wobbles, a desire for personalized support and new skills for your toolbox.
THE SOURCE is the membership community I created to answer all those lingering skill, client management, and life/work balance questions with supportive service providers by your side (+ me and my team) instead of diy-ing your business growth alone.
So you go from a handful of mehhh clients…
→ to a waitlist of dream clients ready to pay your new rate
→ to pivoting from Virtual Assistant to OBM
→ to building your team and exiting done-for-you work
→ to messaging your partner you’re paying for a staycation
… on your terms
Yes, you’ll want to have the bare bones of your business set-up before you enter this service-provider party. If you want to become a Virtual assistant, check out THE START before joining THE SOURCE. THE START is a 6 week program that takes you from 0 to Virtual Assisting business in just 30 minutes a day.
Check it out here (and hop on the waitlist so you get a BIG discount if you decide to join us!).
Oooo, buckle up. Our members are genuinely here to be your landing pad. Growing a service provider business is work that gets lonely and isolating.
We’re scaling aligned, Life-First Businesses that consider your role as a partner, parent and human be-ing (not just a human do-ing)…
for the freedom, bank account, and family experiences YOU want.
No. Members don’t get direct access to leads, however the 150+ Sourcies inside post job-opps, refer out, hand-off clients and look to hire from the pool of this group often.
If I have overflow in my matchmaking program, my team might connect you with a perfect-fit lead.
Just like no two humans are the same, no two businesses are the same. And it’s for this reason that we offer 2 monthly LIVE Group Coaching Calls where you’ll get Sara or our Support Coach Erin’s eyes on your business. Whether that’s about a new offer you’re launching, letting go of a client, or the customized support you need to grow.
All you have to do is drop your question in the chat and we will take it from there.
Hell, yes! You *actually* get personalized support from coaches here! NO swimming in trainings without an expert to ask questions.
Weekly Q+ A thread every.single.Wednesday with Sara + Support Coach Erin to ask us your questions.
What if it’s Friday and you have a five alarm client fire? Post any Q inside the Facebook Group where Erin and members will chime in to hand-hold so you log off with a solution.
Boatloads. So many trainings and masterclasses that I have to remind Source members this is not to overwhelm you. Don’t try to gobble down years’ worth of trainings in one week.
Scaling involves simplifying with intention. So learn the new skills when needed, go apply and watch results roll in.
Gotcha covered! Exact scripts for those sticky client convos is one of the #1 bonus resources I direct members to.
Every “crap, how do I say this?!” email you need to send to a client is already drafted word-for-word inside your SOURCE portal.
From “I have a family emergency” to rate increases to “we need to part ways”.
Your only job is to press send, then write to the Facebook group you #didthedangthing so we can show you some love!
I hear ya and I’ve heard this concern from other members, too. With THE SOURCE, we keep the format super simple so it doesn’t feel intimidating. We also make sure that even if you do “fall off the bandwagon” and ghost the group once life gets busy (whoops!) — it’s really easy to get an instant quick win that makes the investment worth it.
Would getting one question on the Wednesday Q&A thread that saves your 4 hours of tech trouble be worth it?
How about picking up one new skill in one of our Core Trainings that allows you to say “yep, I can do that” on your next discovery call?
How about landing one job from a post that’s dropped inside the Facebook Group?
This doesn’t have to be a program that you have to “squeeze” in among “all the things!” It’s designed so service-providers can get a quick win when they need it (though we’d love to have you around as much as possible. Like with anything else, what you put in is what you get out.)
You bet your bippy! Social Media Managers, Project Managers, Launch Managers, Podcast Managers and every other done-for-you service provider will learn so much and get so much value inside THE SOURCE.
That’s up to you!
What you put in is what you’ll get out. You can put in as little as 15 minutes per week (aka, a daily SOS or accountability check to the Facebook Group). Or you can plan to attend every coaching call, office hours call, and LIVE masterclass as they’re dropped.
If you’re looking for a sweet-spot-suggestion, I’d say 30-60 minutes per week. Make it a mix of digesting whatever content floats your fancy, schmoozing in the Facebook Group, and implementing what you learn.
As soon as you sign up you’ll get a confirmation email with the next steps to take. Our amazing team of magical humans will confirm your entry into the Facebook community within 48 business hours. Once you’re inside, you get on-demand access to all materials, trainings and classes available whenever you want them.
SO…
If you’re pumped to finally feel fulfilled while growing your biz inside a supportive, warm-and-fuzzy service provider community…

Because they are in similar shoes to mine. I also love that there are varying levels and areas of expertise so it’s not just Sara who provides awesome feedback, knowledge, and response… but the others in the group do so as well! Because of THE SOURCE, I’m about to take on my first VA for my own business! Which is huge because growing in this way has always been a goal of mine.”
