Hiring Mrs. Smith Assist changed my life—my VA Ashley is seriously an angel. She's patient, kind, supportive, savvy & I value all her effort to keep me on track.
The whole team is hands-on, efficient, & gives incredible support, experience, & knowledge for entrepreneurs/small businesses. When I realized they do subscriptions, I was completely sold.
I can pass off tasks (basically anything business or personal) that I don't want to/don't have time to deal with, & they Get. It. Done. Shout-out to the ladies who helped me call vendors for my husband's surprise 40th birthday party. (He had a blast, BTW)
What sets MSA apart is their commitment to building genuine connections while making a significant impact on my bottom line & nurturing my big vision. They've been a game-changer for me, & I know they can for you.
Use my brand name as your referral & if they give you a chance to specifically work with Ashley—DO IT!

But it’s one of THE MOST important things you can do as a business owner or freelancer.
While the online world is full of noise and nonsense about what you do and don’t need legally, you want to be sure that you are getting your contracts and terms from someone reliable.
My go-to is Nicole Cheri Oden, LLC, to help my business stay protected.
Looking for any of these?
- An NDA contract template (to keep your IP protected)
- An Independent Contractor Agreement template (to keep your biz protected when you are working with independent contractors)
- Service-provider contract (for you to give clients when they begin working with you)
