Running a business can sometimes feel like spinning plates—between responding to emails, managing projects, and handling all the admin, it’s easy to wonder: Is there any time left for actual business growth? Those hours spent on admin could be hours spent connecting with clients, exploring new ideas, or, let’s be real, just enjoying a well-deserved breather. But instead, you’re buried in tasks that don’t directly add to your bottom line.
First things first. What's an OBM?
An Online Business Manager (OBM) is like the operational backbone of a business, focusing on high-level support to keep everything running smoothly and driving growth. Think VA, but more.
The Real Cost of Doing It All Yourself
Let’s crunch a few numbers to put it into perspective. If your time is worth £150 an hour, and you spend around 5 hours a week on admin, that’s a hefty £3,000 in lost revenue every month. Imagine that! By hiring an OBM to handle these tasks at a fraction of your rate, you’re free to focus on what only you can do—growing the business.
One of my clients who took the plunge with an OBM reported an ROI of over 350% each month just by handing off 20 hours of admin. Those reclaimed hours? She now spends them working with clients, exploring new strategies, and actually enjoying her work without the usual scramble.
Imagine gaining 20 Extra Hours
Imagine what it would feel like to dedicate those 20 saved hours each month to high-impact work—strategy, building client relationships, even just giving yourself a chance to think creatively about the future. By delegating admin tasks, you can focus on what really moves the needle. No more missed opportunities, double bookings, or surprise gaps in the schedule. You’ll be running a smoother, more resilient business with far less stress.
