Running a business can feel like juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle…okay, maybe not that dramatic, but you get the idea (wink wink remember last post about the thongs? If not, check it out here!). There’s always something demanding your attention, and no matter how hard you try, it never seems to slow down. Enter: the Online Business Manager (OBM).
You might be wondering, “How do I find an OBM who actually helps me?” Great question! Let’s dive into what makes an incredible OBM and how they can take your business from chaos to smooth sailing. Whether you’re in Australia, the UK, or anywhere in between, the right OBM can be a total lifesaver.
Why Hiring an OBM is the Smartest Move for Your Business
You started your business because you’re passionate about what you do, not because you wanted to spend hours buried in admin, managing your team, or drowning in endless emails. That’s where an OBM comes in.
An OBM is your behind-the-scenes powerhouse, keeping everything running smoothly while you focus on what you love. From operations and team management to marketing strategy and streamlined systems, they help businesses scale without the overwhelm. The best part? They make your life easier. Who doesn’t want that?
What Makes a GREAT OBM?
Finding the right OBM isn’t just about hiring someone who can tick tasks off a list, you need someone who truly understands business operations and makes things happen. Here’s what to look for:
1. Strategic Thinking (aka The Big Picture Boss Babe)
A great OBM isn’t just about handling the day-to-day, they’re a strategist who helps you plan for long-term success. They take your business goals and create a roadmap to get you there without the burnout.
2. Leadership Skills (aka The Team Whisperer)
A great OBM is a people’s person, ideally someone who has leadership experience. They keeps your team aligned, motivated, and productive, so you don’t have to micromanage.
3. Organisational Genius (aka The Master of Systems)
A messy business leads to stress. A great OBM knows how to create and implement systems that streamline everything, from client onboarding to internal processes. No more wasted time or lost opportunities.
4. Event and Launch Management (aka The Launch Lifesaver)
Big events, new offers, product launches, they’re exciting, but also a logistical rollercoaster. A great OBM can plan, manage, and execute launches and events without you wanting to pull your hair out.
5. Reliability (aka The “I Got This” Person)
When you hire an OBM, you need someone you can count on, that’s why alignment is SO important. The famous “vibe check” is definitely something you should rely on!
