As an online business manager, I am your business bestie who strives for a long and fruitful business relationship. When talking to business owners who are contemplating to hire me, there are a few common questions business owners have when they are ready to hire an Online Business Manager:
- Will you take over my business so I can lay back and have you run my business for me?
- Will you tackle my to-do list?
- Will you praise all my decisions?
The answer: nope, none of that.
But, as an Online Business Manager you can expect me to:
- Keep it real with you (even if you don’t want to hear it. It wouldn’t make sense for me to only tell you what you want to hear… how would your business grow and improve if I did that?)
- Be your professional wing woman (think Solange to your Beyonce)
- Take over the daily operations of your business. You are the CEO, not me.
You would be surprised how many entrepreneurs are really struggling to get it together in their business. Some of you know that you need to reach out for help. Yep, I’m calling you out. It’s all in love sis. I care and want to see you (and your business succeed). STOP sabotaging your business. Stop telling yourself myths like:
- I don’t need an online business manager, I can just hire a virtual assistant
- I can’t afford to hire an online business manager
- I need to have everything organized before I hire an OBM
- I’ll lose control of my business if I hire an OBM. Nobody can run my business like me!
- I don’t have time to train someone to work in my business
When the truth is:
- A VA does tasks and assists in the business, while the OBM actually manages and runs part (or sometimes all) of the business
- You’re probably currently sacrificing money for your time. You could be spending 10-15 hours per month performing all the tasks or management OUTSIDE of your business instead of being INSIDE your business focused on your zone of genius. Sounds like a fair trade to me sis.
- A good OBM will be the one to help you get organized in your business
- I get it, your business is your baby. It’s hard to let someone else be responsible. However, you are only one person. Get off the hamster wheel and let someone help you.
- If you invest in the right OBM, you shouldn’t have to train them. They should know the business side.
If you’ve gotten this far, (thanks for sticking with me) ask yourself this:
Are you ready to go from:
- Overwhelmed
- No strategy
- Stuck in daily tasks
- Working IN your business
- Winging it
To:
- Radical clarity
- Strategy
- Automated systems in place
- Working ON your business
- In control
If you answered yes to any of the above, what are you waiting for? Invest in you. Invest in your business. YOU ARE WORTH IT.
I would love to chat with you about how we can get your business moving in the right direction of growth, flourishing, and getting you back in your zone of genius so you can have more time to do what you do best.
