You started your business for freedom.
Freedom to choose your clients, your schedule, and your lifestyle.
But somewhere along the way, that freedom started to feel more like a full calendar than a full life.

In this episode of “The OBM Show”, I’m sitting down with Accredited OBM Amy Crowe, who shares how she rebuilt her business to finally work for her, not against her. Amy started out as a successful VA, supporting small business owners with everything from email marketing to customer support, but over time she realized she was doing more than managing tasks. She was leading.

That realization changed everything.

We’re unpacking what it really looks like to build a sustainable OBM business that supports both your clients and your life, without burnout or compromise.

Here’s what we cover:

• Amy’s transition from VA to Accredited OBM and what it taught her about sustainable growth
• How to rebuild your business around your real life without losing momentum
• The mindset shifts that helped Amy step into leadership and own her expertise
• Why boundaries are the foundation of freedom in your business
• What a part-time OBM business can look like when it’s designed with intention
• How to define success on your own terms and stop chasing someone else’s version of it

Whether you’re a service provider ready to evolve into the OBM role or an established OBM looking to simplify and realign, this episode will inspire you to design a business that gives you both freedom and fulfillment.
