We just wrapped the session with Karen, and honestly, I learned so much too 👏 @Karen Daniels from Sustly Business Solutions came in today and broke down exactly what an Online Business Manager does, how to get into it, and why your current experience is probably way more transferable than you think. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 🎯 The OBM role comes down to 4 core areas: 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀. And when you understand how they connect, everything clicks. You 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 need a specific qualification or job title to get started. The skills you already have from organizing, communicating, and problem-solving in your current role? That's the foundation right there 💡 The difference between a VA and an OBM is less about what you do and more about how you operate. OBMs lead and oversee. VAs do and support. Both are valuable, and a lot of OBMs started as VAs. 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆 from day one matters more than you think. Low rates attract the wrong clients. Confidence in your pricing signals confidence in your value 💰 And 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘆, it actually makes everything easier. The more specific you are about who you help and what you do, the less you compete on price. A huge thank you to @Karen Daniels for showing up and delivering such a real, practical session!

One thing I can help others with: translating medical and clinical language into plain, readable copy. After 20+ years as an RN, I've learned how to take dense healthcare terminology and make it actually make sense to real people. If anyone is working with healthcare or wellness clients and needs a gut check on the content, I can definitely help. One thing I would love support on: learning which online project management and communication tools are actually worth using in real freelance life. Notion, Airtable, Monday, ClickUp, and even video messaging tools like Loom alternatives... there are so many options and I want to hear from people who are using them daily, not just in theory. What works, what doesn't, and what did you wish someone told you before you wasted time on the wrong one? I am still learning a LOT.

POV: you're scrolling job boards at 11pm wondering how on earth people make money online without a degree, without a "niche", without some crazy talent… Meanwhile, businesses are literally out here begging for someone to come in and just… organize their chaos. 😭 Most online businesses are held together by duct tape 🫠 Founders are drowning. They KNOW they need help but they don't have time to even hire someone. That person who comes in and saves the day? That's an Online Business Manager. And it might literally be you. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼: ✨ Loves a good system ✨ Notices when things could be more organized ✨ Has been the "go to person" at every job you've ever had ✨ Gets a weird satisfaction from a color coded spreadsheet 📊 You might already have everything you need to do this 👀 This Friday I'm hosting @Karen Daniels, an actual OBM, inside Remote Income School. She's gonna walk us through what this role really is, how she got into it, and how YOU can spot the skills you already have and turn them into a paid online service. 💸 🗓️ 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟮𝗻𝗱 ⏰ 𝟭𝟬𝗔𝗠 𝗔𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 Find the link to join HERE 👉 Add it to your own Calendar as well.
