What does it look like to go from copywriting VA to confident OBM—tripling your revenue and landing your dream clients along the way?

In this episode of The OBM Show, I sit down with Ada Wogu, Accredited OBM and founder of Advance with Ada. With no corporate background and zero “traditional” business experience, Ada’s journey is proof that what you do need to succeed as an OBM is drive, integrity, and a strong foundation of systems.

Ada opens up about her transition from virtual assistant to Online Business Manager, how she blends her copy chops with operations strategy, and why mindset is just as important as skillset in this role. She also shares how she built a niche serving coaches and agencies through what she calls Accelerated SOPs—streamlined systems that save clients time without sacrificing quality.

Inside this episode:
 – How Ada transitioned from VA to OBM (without a corporate background)
 – The real behind-the-scenes of managing client launches and team dynamics
 – Why confidence and communication are non-negotiables for OBMs
 – A look at “Accelerated SOPs” and how they’re changing the way she supports clients
 – The mindset shifts that helped her land 3 OBM clients and a DOO role in under a year

Whether you're still in the VA stage or already stepping into OBM territory, Ada’s story will give you a clear vision of what’s possible—and what it really takes to own your leadership.
