112 - Hiring a VA vs. an OBM: Team Series with Rebecca (Part 1)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most of my clients tell me the same thing... they know they need help, but handing over the first task feels scary.
This week, my online business manager (OBM) Rebecca Quirie joins me to pull back the curtain on how we work together. She started as my VA four years ago and has grown into running my marketing, funnels, and ads. We talk about what that looks like behind the scenes, and how you can build a team that supports you (without the boomerang tasks), as well as who does what around here!
In this episode, you'll learn:
- What a VA actually does, and how to decide what to hand off first
- Why repeatable tasks and clear structure make delegating so much easier
- Where to find great team members, from word of mouth to your own community
- How the role shifts from VA to OBM (project management, strategy, and troubleshooting)
- What helps a team member thrive: SOPs, a home base for tasks, clear deadlines, and knowing the "why" behind the work
If you’ve ever wondered how to effectively lead your team or want actionable insights into creating clearer roles in your business, this episode is for you!
Tune in next week for Part 2, where we get into creating and running your podcast.
