Hey amazing OBMs! This episode dives into the secret weapon of successful online business managers: time management mastery! Learn how Leanne uses a two-pronged approach to conquer her schedule and avoid burnout. Part 1: The High-Level View - Time Blocking Ditch the overwhelm! Get crystal clear on your capacity by understanding how long tasks take. Embrace color-coding! Visually map out your week with dedicated blocks for clients, breaks, marketing, and life activities. Pro Tip: Plan for breathing room! Unexpected things happen, so schedule buffer time to avoid falling behind. Live by the golden rule: don't delete tasks.

In this episode of The Audacious OBM Podcast, Leanne dives into the world of client management, contrasting two very different client experiences: Unrealistic Rachel and Light Me Up Lacey. Unrealistic Rachel is a nightmare client with unreasonable expectations, ever-changing demands, and a complete lack of self-awareness. Leanne details how Rachel micromanaged the process, made unrealistic demands on turnaround times, and never seemed satisfied with the work. This client ultimately resulted in Leanne questioning her own abilities and feeling burnt out. Light Me Up Lacey, on the other hand, is a dream client. Lacey was clear about her goals from the start, appreciated Leanne's expertise, and trusted her judgement. There was open communication, clear boundaries, and a mutual respect that fostered a successful collaboration. Leanne emphasizes the importance of finding clients who are a good fit, both in terms of personality and values. The episode concludes with a call to action, encouraging listeners to check out Leanne's challenge to learn how to attract more ideal clients.…

Hey there, OBMs! This episode is all about launch management, diving deep into the nitty-gritty of that all important launch. The episode dives into 4 core roles that OBMs play in online launch management: managing the team, coordinating tasks, being the keeper of time, and being the talent whisperer. Let's unpack these roles: 1. Managing the Team: As an OBM launch manager, you're the quarterback, responsible for a crew of people including copywriters, designers, ads managers, assistants, web developers, and marketers. You'll need to delegate tasks, provide clear briefs, and keep everyone on the same page. 2. Coordinating Tasks: Launching requires a complex dance of many moving parts. You'll be the maestro, ensuring all the tasks are broken down, assigned, and completed on time. This includes pre-launch events, sales pages, social media marketing, customer support, and tech integration. 3. Being the Keeper of Time: Think of yourself as a juggler, keeping all the balls (tasks) in the air and meeting deadlines. You'll create a launch timeline, factoring in dependencies between tasks and ensuring everyone has enough buffer time to avoid a last-minute scramble. 4. Being the Talent Whisperer: Your client, the star of the show, can get stressed during the emotional rollercoaster of a launch. You'll be the calming presence, the voice of reason, and the one to gently guide them through the ups and downs. Let's dive deeper into each role! Are you ready? Hit play and listen in as Leanne shares her insight into the realm of launch management!…

Hey there, OBMs! This episode is all about money, honey! We're diving into that question you all ask me constantly: how much should you charge as an Online Business Manager? We'll ditch the mumbo jumbo and break it down. Because let's face it, confusing pricing hurts everyone. It makes it hard for you to know your worth and for clients to understand the value you bring. We'll start with figuring out what feels right for you. What's that sweet spot where you're not undervaluing yourself but you're also competitive? Then we'll talk about the cold, hard facts: expenses, insurance, and all that jazz. Here's a sneak peek: you're worth more than you think! We'll also explore the magic of packages. Why package your services? Because packages are like battle armor against the price comparison monster. With a package, you can showcase the full range of value you bring, not just an hourly rate. And let's not forget the damage undercharging does. It hurts you, it hurts your fellow OBMs, and it devalues the entire profession. By charging what you're worth, you're not just helping yourself, you're helping the whole OBM game level up. So if you're ready to ditch the undercharging cycle and step into confident pricing, this episode is for you! We'll also chat about the OBM Academy and some resources to help you rock your pricing strategy. Let's go make that money, OBMs!…
