As a VA, service provider or creative who is tired of the endless hours, constantly totting up your hours for your invoices & feeling burnt out by the end of every month?

I hear you, and I've been there.

But I’m here to tell you, that there is a much better way to create stability and preserve your sanity on your VA journey: ✨The Retainer Model✨

Retainer Models (or packages with clear deliverables) allow you to have a clear monthly income, knowing exactly how much you'll make each month without the stress of fluctuating hours.

With a retainer model, you set minimum monthly hours or a package with deliverables set out, providing clarity (& boundaries!) for both you and your clients. No more guesswork, just peace of mind.

Let’s dive in: what’s the difference between Ad hoc Vs Retainer?

Let’s talk pros and cons and I’ll let you know now, I’m so biased about this - if you’re working $-per-hour, doing ad-hoc is going to burn you out and retainers are for the win.

But lets look at the difference…

Ad hoc: No baseline hours set, you work as little or as much as the client needs

❌ Impossible to timeblock or plan your week as you are unsure of your availability

❌ Difficult to gauge your workload or predict your income

❌ Very difficult to scale this business model

Retainer Model: Set minimum monthly hours, providing clarity for both you and your clients.

✅ Clear monthly income because you bill upfront every time and you know how much capacity you have for each client

✅ Healthy boundaries: clients must ask for additional hours, ensuring you maintain control over your workload, or if you’ve created a package of deliverables, they know exaaactly what your scope of work is, that way expectations are set so clearly.

✅ Scalability becomes a breeze – you have a framework to expand without chaos.

💡 Key Takeaway: Packaging your hours with a retainer model or packages isn't just about setting boundaries; it's about taking charge of your time, your income, and your growth so you can be in the land of meaningful money, good clients and save yourself from burnout.

If you're tired of the ad-hoc grind and ready to take control of your time, income, and growth, it's time to embrace a new way of doing things.
