So—you’re thinking about stepping into the world of Online Business Management? Whether you're ready to leave your 9-to-5, pivot from another role in the online space, or simply want to build a business with more freedom and flexibility, you're in the right place.

Online Business Managers are the behind-the-scenes powerhouses that keep growing businesses on track. From systems and operations to team oversight and project execution, OBMs are the glue that holds it all together—and the strategic partners business owners rely on to scale with ease.

In this episode of The OBM Show, I’m breaking down exactly how I’d start an OBM business from scratch in 2025. I walk you through the essential steps to launch with confidence—from defining your offer and setting your rates to landing your first client and building a business that supports your lifestyle (not the other way around).

If you’re overwhelmed by where to start or worried about doing it “right,” this episode is here to simplify the process and show you what’s truly possible. You’ll learn how to avoid common pitfalls, build early momentum, and take the right steps toward building a career as an OBM that’s both profitable and fulfilling.
