Have you ever wondered:
How can I promise my clients next-level results when I’m running my business all alone – like a basic beginner?
Then it’s time you next-level your own results!
You can grow your business slowly, going only as fast as you can go while wearing all the hats and doing all the things yourself.
Or you can grow rapidly, deliberately, and with results.
The choice is yours.
Where do I even start?
You hear people say it all the time:
If you want to grow your business, you need to hire someone.
But how?
❓ How do you know who you need to hire?
❓ How do you know how to find the best fit for your business?
❓ How do you know what to do after you find someone to hire?
❓ How can I possibly keep doing everything and bring someone new into my business?
❓ How can I find the time to hire someone?
❓ How do I know I’m doing it correctly?
Maybe you’re looking to hire your first contractor or maybe you’ve tried this before.
But it all boils down to the same thing…
You’re ready to hire the right person right now – right away!
Your business is successful but…
you wouldn’t say that you’re enjoying success.
Instead of living the dream, you’re:
👉 Working all the jobs
👉 Wearing all the hats
👉 Doing all the things
👉 Tired all the time
You tell yourself that you’re a unicorn, but you’re really just exhausted from taking the DIY method a little too far.
Admit it. You’re running on fumes.
You love your business but it’s starting to lose some of its shine and you’re no longer waking up looking forward to work like you did when you first started your business.
Remember work/life balance?
Yeah. It’s been a while, huh?
I’ve got good news for you!
You don’t have to do any of this alone.
I get it. Really.
You need help.
You need a VA, or a subcontractor, or maybe you really need a designer or other contractor who can finally take whatever isn’t the thing that makes clients line up to see you off your plate.
You just need help.
You don’t have enough hours in the day.
You hear other people talk about work/life balance and you remember thinking that’s what you’ve been working towards – but it seems so out of reach.
You don’t have extra time, money, or energy and you can’t afford to lose what you do have.
I can help!
I can take you from overwhelmed to onboarding your contractor.
Who am I?
I can take the anxiety out of making your first good hire.
I’m Amalie Shaffer.
I’m a former U.S. Navy officer and professional Integrator.
If you’re not familiar with the term, I’m the right-hand woman or COO (Chief Operating Officer) to the CEO (that’s you!).
I handle the day to day operations, strategies, processes, and policies that keep your business running like a well-oiled, powerful machine.
I make sure that you can stop managing the team members all the time and focus on what deserves your focus.
Bottom line? I bring order and simplicity to your business so it can run efficiently and effectively as you achieve your professional goals.
I can navigate your business through the roughest seas into smooth sailing.
You’re ready to leave overwhelmed and overworked behind and start onboarding your first contractor so your business can grow.
You need a step by step guide that will take you from overwhelmed to onboarding your first contractor.
But not just any guide…
🚫 I’m not talking about another vague and fluffy Pinterest freebie that you could’ve written yourself.
🚫 I’m not talking about advice from another guru who you’re pretty sure hasn’t even managed to hire well for their own business.
🚫 I’m not talking about crowdsourcing hiring do’s, don’t’s, and best practices in a Facebook group only to be pitched over and over and over and over, with no value given.

Execute Easily With Standard Operating Procedures
Get to work with SOPs that get you set up not just for this hire, but for the next and the next. Put procedures in place for:
✔️ Team Member Onboarding so that you will only have to go through the set up once – no matter how many times you hire
✔️ Official Communications so that your new hire knows exactly how to reach you, what platform to use to connect, how often to keep in touch, and when they should expect your response
✔️ Hourly Tracking procedures that create transparency so you can keep an eye on your timelines and spending for any time based contractors.
✔️ Team Member Invoice protocols to pay hourly or package based contractors because nothing says “I’m a boss” like clear policies and on-time payments.
What’s inside?

Your start to finish roadmap will help you prep like a pro to:
