What working with an OBM REALLY does for your creative business
You didn’t start your business to spend your days drowning in tasks, chasing deadlines, and putting out fires. But somewhere along the way, the admin work, the project management, and the endless to-do lists took over. Instead of feeling inspired, you feel stuck and caught up in the daily grind with no time to focus on the big picture or creative side of your business that keeps you moving forward.
That’s where an Online Business Manager (OBM) comes in.
An OBM isn’t just another team member; they’re your right-hand partner, bringing the structure, and support to keep your business running smoothly. They step in to help you run your business with more ease, ensuring that everything behind the scenes is handled so you can get back to doing what you love.
We specialize in business management services tailored to your unique business needs. Here’s how working with a manager can help you reclaim your time and energy.
1. Keeping projects moving right along
Right now, you’re wearing a lot of hats—managing client projects, handling deliverables, and trying to keep everything on track. It’s exhausting! An OBM keeps everything flowing, ensuring your business runs well, and removing any bottlenecks that might happen along the way.
Our project management will provide you with:
A clear plan for projects (internal and external ones), broken down into manageable steps
Task delegation so nothing falls through the cracks (using our fave tools like ClickUp or Asana).
Accountability and follow-ups, so you and your team stay on track
A second set of eyes ensuring deadlines are met
2. Goal-setting calls that give you direction
Feeling like you’re just getting through the days rather than making progress? That’s a sign you need structure. An OBM helps bring clarity to your vision and ensures that every step you take aligns with your bigger goals.
Here’s how we support you here:
Regular check-in calls to chat priorities
Quarterly planning sessions
Creating action plans with clear next steps
Keeping you accountable!
3. SOPs that make your business run smoother
If your processes exist only in your head, delegating can feel impossible. An OBM helps document your workflows so things can run smoothly—even without you involved in every step.
What this means for you:
Step-by-step SOPs for key tasks, stored in a system like Notion, Google Docs, or Airtable.
Loom videos and guides so your team knows exactly what to do
A smoother onboarding process for new hires
Less time answering the same questions over and over
4. Delegation and team coordination
You don’t have to do it all. Handing things off can feel overwhelming when you’re unsure what (or how) to delegate. We also have the option to include VA support in your business management packages.
We’ll help you:
Identify what you should be focusing on—and what you shouldn’t
Assign tasks to your team, ensuring nothing is missed
Act as the go-between so you’re not managing every little detail
5. Ongoing systems management
Having the right systems in place can mean the difference between a business that runs smoothly and one that constantly feels chaotic.
We’ll get you organized by:
Setting up and managing tools like Asana, ClickUp, HoneyBook, or Dubsado
Automating workflows to save time and reduce manual tasks
Ensure your processes evolve as your business grows
Working with a business manager isn’t just about getting help, it’s about building a business that feels sustainable, organized, and aligned with your goals! And we’re here to make that happen for you and get you back to focusing on your zone of genius.
