The SOPs, written
A real week on paper, every task sorted, a ranked list of what to document, and the procedures written out step by step, naming the tools and terms you actually use, ready to hand to a stranger.
SOPs & First Hire Vault
Write It Down First, Then Hire For The Rest.
For anyone drowning in their own business who wants to hire their first help, or who hired someone once and it didn't work out.
You can't take a week off, because everything in the business runs through you and none of it is written down. So you think about hiring, and then you picture explaining every task to a stranger, and you go back to doing it yourself.
The order is the whole point here. The repeatable work gets documented first, and whatever is left over is what defines the job. Someone who hires before documenting ends up managing a person instead of being helped by one, and then does the work twice.
This vault writes the procedures and then builds the role from what's left.
It audits a real week hour by hour, sorts every task into one of four buckets, ranks what to document first, writes the SOPs out in full for someone who has never done the task and can't ask a question, defines the role with hours and a budget, writes the job posting and says where to put it, runs the hiring process, plans onboarding with access and a first week, and sets a quarterly review date.
One payment. Yours to keep and rerun whenever you want. Includes a seat at one live monthly VIP session. You get access in your ThriveCart course login right after purchase.
The finished work
What you walk away with.
The role, defined
Hours, tasks, skills, and a budget for one role scoped from what's left after the SOPs, and a job description someone could post today, with where to post it.
The hire, run and onboarded
A hiring process run end to end, access set up, a first week planned, a check-in rhythm, and a quarterly review date so the role gets looked at again.
The working session
One station. Then the next.
Ten stations, in order, and the order is the whole point. If you want to jump to the job posting before the SOPs exist, the vault says why that goes badly and then keeps going in order.
Intake
How the business runs now, whether anyone helps you already, and what tools are connected. Ends with a written picture of the business.
The time audit
A real week, hour by hour, on paper, with real numbers rather than guesses.
Sort the work
Every task in one of four buckets.
What to document first
A ranked list of SOPs to write.
Write the SOPs
Finished procedures, written out, for someone who has never done the task and cannot ask a question.
Define the role
Hours, tasks, skills, and a budget. If you have an assistant already, this becomes a redefinition of a role that was never defined.
Job description
A posting and where to put it.
The hiring process
A process run end to end.
Onboarding
Access, a first week, and a check-in rhythm.
QA and quarterly review
A checked handover and a review date.
Could someone else run your business for a week from what's written down right now?

There is one thing a booked day gives you that a skill on its own cannot, and it's a person looking at your actual situation and telling you the thing you would rather not hear.
And once a month, there's a live VIP session.
It's a live two-hour co-working session once a month, and the dates are scheduled in advance. Everyone gets on and works on their own thing at the same time, and you can ask questions when you get stuck.
You can share your screen, ask about the vault you're in the middle of, or sit there and get the thing done because the time is blocked. There's a question block at the end and every session is recorded.
The first one is Wednesday, September 30, 2026, from 1 to 3pm ET. Vault buyers get twelve months of these included. Single vault buyers get a seat at one live monthly VIP session.
A quick fit check
This works when you're ready to work.
This is for you if:
- You run the business on your own, or with one assistant
- You can't take a week off without everything stopping
- You hired someone once and it didn't work out
- You want the SOPs written out in full
This is not for you if:
- You're building a team or a department
- You want to post the job before anything is written down
- You want SOPs that assume the reader can ask you questions
- You'd rather guess at your hours than track a real week

Your guide
Dr. Destini Copp
Founder, Creator's MBA & HobbyScool
I run two businesses. HobbyScool does about $30,000 a month on roughly five hours a week with AI running the marketing, and Creator's MBA is where I teach digital product business owners how the same thing gets built. Between them I publish 12 events a year and have served more than 20,000 creators.
Every vault in here is a system I actually run. The summit vault is how I run summits, the evergreen funnel vault is the funnel behind my own offers, and the Build Your AI Employees Vault is the setup that makes five hours a week possible. I built them as skills because I got tired of rebuilding the same project from scratch every time, and then it turned out that what I had was the thing people were booking VIP days to get.
Questions, answered
Before you open the door.
Why write SOPs before hiring?
Because whatever is left after the repeatable work is documented is what defines the job. Someone who hires first ends up managing a person instead of being helped by one, and then does the work twice. The vault keeps that order.
I already have a VA. Is this still for me?
Yes. Someone with an assistant already is usually fixing a role that was never defined, so the define-the-role station becomes a redefinition. The stations are the same either way.
Does it write the actual SOPs?
Yes, in full, step by step, naming the tools and terms you actually use. Every one is written for someone who has never done the task and cannot ask a question, because that's the test that decides how much detail goes in.
What if I describe a whole team?
The vault says plainly that it covers a first hire. It's built for one person, or one person plus one helper, to match the businesses it's for.
Which tools does it use?
Anything for creating documents, storing files, reading a calendar, or reading sent mail, when connected, so the SOPs live where the work happens. When they aren't connected, you get finished files plus a setup guide.
How does the time audit work?
It asks for real hours, task by task, on a normal week. If you say 'I do admin' it asks what you clicked, in what order, the last time you did it, because that's what a procedure gets written from.
How do I get it after I buy?
You get access in your ThriveCart course login right after purchase. The vault is a Claude skill that comes as a zip file. It's designed and tested for Claude, and it works on any Claude plan, including the free one, as long as code execution is turned on in your settings. If you get stuck, email support@destinicopp.com.
What happens after the hire?
Station nine plans onboarding with access, a first week, and a check-in rhythm, and station ten sets a quarterly review date so the role gets looked at again rather than drifting.
Does this work in ChatGPT or another AI tool?
It's designed and tested for Claude, so that's where it runs best and where we can help you if something goes wrong. The vault itself is plain text files, so you're welcome to try it in another AI tool, but the steps that build and publish through your connected tools only work in Claude, and it hasn't been tested anywhere else.
Can I get a refund?
Because the vaults are digital downloads and there's no way to give a download back, we don't do refunds on a purchase alone. If you get stuck, bring it to a live VIP session, because that's what they're there for. If you come to a session, work on the vault with help and it still doesn't do what this page says, email support@destinicopp.com within 7 days of that session and we'll refund you.
