You don’t need support. You need leadership.
I lead operations for micro-business owners who want a business that works...AND one that actually supports the life you built it for.
Most micro-businesses don’t struggle because of bad ideas. In fact, your ideas are pretty bad-ass.
They struggle because everything depends on you as the founder to hold it ALL together.
Decisions pile up with no sense of priority.
Projects sit open for months because there's no system moving them forward, because you're the only one who has to decide things. All day. EVERY DAY.
You've thought about fixing it for years, but when exactly were you supposed to find the time?
And unfortunately, it's not possible to clone yourself. (I'd have already done it, friend.)
So everything just keeps falling to the bottom of the list.
And the bottom is nowhere in sight anymore.
And then, there’s me.
I’m Sammy Bohannon, the founder of Bohannon Virtual Solutions. I started BVS in 2022 so I could make money while being able to stay home with my kids.
Like the time a student came to me because she'd started her period and had no one at home to call. She didn't know how to ask the school nurse alone, so she came to me, someone she knew she felt safe with, to go with her.
Or the time I skipped lunch every day for weeks during Ramadan so my students had a safe place to rest without being surrounded by people eating.
Teaching took a wild amount of organization. Special education teachers (who had roughly the same legal paperwork and meetings as I did), had a caseload capped at 15 students. I regularly managed 80–100+.
But the rewards were everything.
So many students over the years came to me speaking little to no English. Me being their first teacher in the U.S., their parents would come to me upset because their kid had never failed anything before and suddenly they were failing everything. They struggled to see the long term as I'd tell them, “this is normal. We expect this. It WILL get better.”
And it did. I'll never forget calling one of those exact moms, telling her that her daughter had scored high enough to exit the ELL program entirely. She cheered. I cried. And I’m crying now writing this.
I called it teaching.
But it was operations.
I started teaching when I was 23 years old. While I'd been doing some form of teaching my whole life (my sister and I were playing school when I was 6 and, of course, I was always the teacher), for six years I taught P-12 English as a Second Language with most of my time spent with middle schoolers. (Yes, I know.)
When you’re a teacher, you take on roles you never could have anticipated. I spent countless planning periods and lunch breaks helping students instead of planning or eating.
Different Language, Same Idea
When I made the switch from teaching to online business management, the learning curve wasn’t much of a curve at all.
From my detailed classroom management plan to sub plans so clear and detailed that substitutes literally thanked me for spelling it all out (and asked me to text them first if I knew I was gonna be out so they could be the first to catch that), I’d been doing operations all along.
A complete stranger could come into my classroom and run it the same as I would… even with 15-25 TEENAGERS.
And that’s the exact thing I do for your business.
I build well documented systems and lead your operations so that nothing stops if you step out of the room. Even with 15-25 unpredictable variables a day.
Are You My Next Favorite Client?
My strongest client relationships have a few things in common. You’ll fit right in if:
You have a truly collaborative nature. You’re ready to listen to my point of view, explain yours to me, and allow me to fill that leadership role that you need.
You stand for your beliefs and won’t concede on what you believe is right.
You’re willing to learn and give me space to learn as needed.
You have boundaries that you maintain and respect mine.
And we have a mutual understanding that we are both humans, not machines.
There might be kids who interrupt our calls.
I might need to cancel a call for sickness or an unexpected family obligation.
Because we both built businesses so that we have the space to give more to the life we want.
I often work with clients who live lives similar to mine: clients with chronic illnesses that cause them to have unexpected days in bed instead of in meetings, mental illness that means sometimes they’re a little less upbeat than normal, and neurodivergence which means they struggle with time management, sticking to plans, and even communicating sometimes.
I’m willing to show you grace, and in return, I ask the same.
When I’m having a Hashimoto’s flare up, when I’m dealing with anxiety so bad I can’t get out of bed, and when I’m struggling to focus because I forgot my Adderall, I promise to give you a heads up.
You’ll know the work will get done. I just need some extra time.
And I’ll give you that same grace when you’re the one struggling.
Where I Stand
I believe all people are entitled to the same human rights regardless of race, nationality, socio-economic position, religion, sexuality, abilities or disabilities, gender, education, or language.
I do not tolerate hate or violence in any form.
I refuse to sacrifice my beliefs for any reason.
If this does not resonate with you, we will not work well together. Doing so would go against what I stand for and potentially harm my clientele in the process.
So, What’s Your Story?
Now that I've laid it all out on the line, I'd like to invite you to tell me your story.
You didn't make it all the way down here because you were bored.
There's something missing in your business you crave. Structure. Systems. Change.
If you're ready to share, I'm ready to listen.
