Business Management

Implementensive®

about

You create + serve your clients.
We manage the behind-the-scenes operations.

Simple, sustainable systems that give your business the freedom to grow.

Over managing your team because they can't seem to do it exactly the way you would

Constantly falling behind on internal projects because you’ve bottlenecked yourself

Dropping the ball on client communication because you're head down doing the work

Avoiding taking time off for vacations (or even just working half-days) because your business isn’t set up to run without you

Taking on a project with yellow or red flags after you told yourself you wouldn't anymore

Overbooking yourself with unrealistic deadlines that have you working when you really don't want to be

How many of these have you done (and continue to do)?

Let’s have an honest chat…

Right now, the reason you’re so frustrated is that your team wasn’t properly trained, your systems aren’t consistent, and you’ve become a big bottleneck. Instead of spending your time doing the creative work you love, you’re bogged down in neverending admin tasks and micromanagement.

Your brain might not think in systems and processes, but it's the next inevitable step you need to grow.

Here's the difference, you need them set up in a simple, custom-to-you way. And that's where we come in.

Our team will help you finally step out of the day-to-day weeds of your business so you can focus on the role you want to have. And your team can run with their task list instead of coming to you with a million questions. 

Best of all, we’ll help you manage your time so you can stop working all day, everyday, and can finally unplug without the fear your business will come to a screeching halt.

As much as you and I love just going with the flow in business, it’s not set up to help your business grow. It’s set up with the mindset of a team of one — and getting you out of the weeds requires a team.

Listen, I know you’re not a systems person (hello, tasks and notes in 34726 different places), but you do need this “systems stuff” to set your business up efficiently.

Revenue growth and an increase in your profit margins

Longer team retention (read: a happier team) with straightforward tasks and expectations 

Freedom in your life as you’ll no longer need to manage your projects and teams so you can focus your attention on ONLY the work you want to do!

A clear focus on where to spend your time so you can finally focus on the needle-moving tasks or so you can step out and take time off without things coming to a halt

Automations that save you time (and money) from having to hire another contractor

Increased client capacity with timelines  that fit how you want to work, and a client experience that keeps them coming back and referring others to you

Before working with Lux & Vita, I was overwhelmed, out of my element, and in desperate need of support. Once I met Liz, I felt confident that I had found someone with a depth of experience in areas I knew little about. Not only was she ready to set up all of our internal systems, but having her help with ongoing project management gave me back SO much time. Instead of just outsourcing tasks, it feels like I have a partner in business growth. Our team has grown from 2 to 6, we’ve scaled with new services, and the tasks I work on now are much higher level. It’s been such a relief to get out of the details!

OUR CLIENT ROSTER HAS DOUBLED AND OUR REVENUE INCREASED BY 150%

I've been able to take on more team members, more clients, and experiment with new services because I have Liz making sure that the back-end process of each client process is being completed with excellence, and the vibe of our client experience/team culture is positive. She holds things steady while I'm traveling, trying new things, or building out the team with a business coach. Oh, and our clients LOVE her!!

LIZ IS THE REASON I CAN CONTINUE TO GROW MY BUSINESS AND TEAM. I’D BE A HOT MESS WITHOUT HER!

And having a system to know what I need to focus my attention on without losing track of the important things right now, and having a plan of action for the upcoming due tasks, that is priceless to my sanity. It’s a compilation of all the good setup systems Liz has put in motion. Seriously thank you for not judging my mess and my “how did you make it in business up to this point?!” kind of back end. Thank you for always being a sounding board and helping me clarify my processes.

it's so reassuring to know someone is working on what your brain just can’t wrap around.

IT'S SO REASSURING TO KNOW SOMEONE IS WORKING ON WHAT YOUR BRAIN JUST CAN’T WRAP AROUND.

We’ll help you set up systems that are completely custom to your business and growing team. We know just how important keeping your personal touch points with clients is, and we’ll build your business around just how involved you want to be.

Plus, with a background in the design industry, you won’t find an operations team that better understands the ins and outs of running a creative business! We’ll hold you accountable to your promise of saying you’re booked out this month, so you’re not cramming your schedule to the brim anymore. 

This is how you give your clients the best of you and your best work, all without feeling scattered and stressed to “get it done.”

You won't get a generic systems strategy that feels complicated. You'll have a simple, clear structure that’s designed for your business goals.

Get in touch, and we can clarify what type of support is best for your business!

Still unsure what your business needs?

A VA provides basic task support. They receive the task and complete it, they don’t typically strategize or oversee projects. They are the task-doers and know less about the big picture workings of your business.

A PM oversees specific projects. They are less in the business as a whole and can handle onboarding and off-boarding clients, maintaining communication between you and your clients. They generally only have access to the client side of your business, or occasionally internal projects like launches.

An OBM provides hands-on project and operational support for your business. They give project oversight, and create and implement strategies. They support the day-to-day operations of a business: making sure projects are on schedule, handling communication with clients and team members, managing situations that pop up, and making sure all systems in the business are running smoothly. Ops Managers know the ins and outs of your business systems as they often are the ones who built them in the first place.

Help, there are so many terms! What’s the difference between a project manager (PM), operations manager (OBM), and virtual assistant (VA)?

You’ll be working directly with me (Liz) and my project manager, Stephanie. I’ll handle the high-level OBM strategy and operations, while Stephanie will take care of the project management side of things.

Who will I be working with?

Nope! We use a flat rate instead of an hourly fee, so you always know exactly what your expenses will be each month.

Do you work on an hourly basis? 

Not exactly no! While we do have our favorites, the only thing we ask is that you are using (or want to move to) Asana for project management. If you’re not already familiar with it, we can help you move everything over!

Do I have to use a certain software?

This retainer is best for if you’re consistently making $10k/month (we want you consistently paying yourself well) and are ready to build a team (even if that's just per-project contractors).

How do I know if I’m ready to bring on an OBM?

We love to work with brand & website designers, copywriters , marketing and email strategists who have or are working to build a small, but mighty team (like a micro-agency).

Who do you work with for your OBM service?

don't worry, we have the answers!

You might have some questions

This is where you unlock support for your clients, team members, and all your internal systems!

When we’re by your side helping you run your business day in and day out, you’ll gain more time back, make more income, and truly build a solid foundation to scale.

Get back to doing what you love and let us handle the rest.
