VATTA #260: Guest Expert Sarah Noked on Transitioning from VA to OBM

Listen Later

Hey everyone! In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Noked from OBM School to uncover the world of Online Business Managers (OBMs) and how many Virtual Assistants (VAs) might already be doing OBM-level work without realizing it. If you’re tired of scope creep, feeling underpaid, or wondering how to step into a more strategic role, this one’s for you.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • What is an OBM? How OBMs bridge strategy and implementation to help clients grow their businesses.
  • Signs You’re an OBM in Disguise: Scope creep, increased responsibilities, and unclear boundaries.
  • Transitioning from VA to OBM: The mindset shift and skills required to position yourself for premium clients.
  • The Power of Specialization: Why niching down as a VA or OBM can unlock higher income and better opportunities.
  • How OBM School Can Help: Resources and training to step into a leadership role and thrive as an OBM.

    • By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear understanding of what it takes to move from being a doer to a manager, setting boundaries, and creating systems that allow you to work smarter, not harder.
