What does it really take to build a business—and a life—that puts your family first? Meet Ramona Hooper, an Accredited Online Business Manager from Vancouver who transformed crisis into opportunity and turned a global pandemic into the catalyst for an entirely new career path.

In this episode of The OBM Show, (also available as a video on Youtube), Ramona shares how she went from corporate burnout and unexpected unemployment to creating a thriving OBM business—all while navigating some of the hardest moments of her life, including her husband’s health crisis and juggling her son’s virtual schooling.

From working 70+ hours a week to reclaiming her time and replacing her income within four months, Ramona’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and true transformation. You’ll hear the exact strategies she used to find her first OBM clients, how she built her confidence and tech skills on the fly, and the behind-the-scenes of her signature VIP Day structure.
