“If you want to raise your prices, you have to raise your systems to match the experience you want to give.” — Sam Whisnant
Sam Whisnant skipped the corporate world and started her virtual-assistant business armed with a biochemistry degree, a total of zip-zilch-zero experience in digital marketing, and living halfway around the world. But after working with 45+ clients, tackling everything from copywriting to managing and coaching 20+ member masterminds, she realized you don’t need an MBA, a full-time team, or the most expensive tools on the market to build a thriving six-figure business.
All you really need are the right systems in place that support your growth so you can spend the majority of your time in your zone of genius.
Now, Sam thrives in helping growing entrepreneurs set up systems so they can organize and automate their businesses, hire and onboard their first team member with ease, and stay focused in their zone of genius as much as possible.

What is Just Between Coaches?
Where do coaches turn when they face a difficult situation with a client? Quite often, when coaching challenges arise, they reach out to a coach more senior than themselves. That’s the aim of Just Between Coaches — to be that trusted source of guidance for the coaching community.
Hosted by Melinda Cohan, coach and creator of The Coaches Console business management system, Just Between Coaches will answer the tough questions that coaches face every day. For example, what can I do if my client is lying? How do I deal with price resistance from prospects and clients? What if I want to fire a coaching client? And what the heck is a feeder course and why should I care?
This tactical podcast will provide a deep dive into one coaching topic per episode, which means searching for answers will be a breeze. It will also offer a simple way for listeners to refer other coaches who are grappling with those tough coaching questions. To submit a tough question you’re facing as a coach, put “JBC” in the subject line and send it to podcasts@mirasee.com.
