So, you're seeing another acronym and thinking: What the heck does this one stand for.

Let me break it down for you:

A VA (or Virtual Assistant) focuses on tasks individually or in conjunction with each other. This is a simple: I need ___ done and the VA does it for you. Usually, VAs will niche into a particular focus like product photography, social media scheduling, copywriting, or email writing.

An OBM (or Online Business Manager) takes those tasks and makes them work as a process as efficiently as possible. I can help you with one thing AND with how it works to lead into several other things. I can create unique business systems that make your life easier and keep your business running on a loop. 

If you want someone who can just take over projects from beginning to end and streamline your systems, then an OBM is there to let you drop that stress in your shoulders that we both know you've been holding onto.

And that's what I do as an OBM, I want to help manage your business so you can live in your zone of genius and grow your business further (while I take care of all the back-end tasks you never really liked anyway).

Working in project management for the last decade has allowed me to see how different puzzle pieces fit into one cohesive picture. I’ve learned to lean into my experiences as a manager, teacher, CEO, and general organization nerd to find out how to understand the unique patterns of each individual business. 

I have a M.A. in English: Writing & Rhetoric, which basically means that I know how to talk directly to your audience with your voice, use sales psychology to convert copy, and understand how your copy plays a role in your overall systems. I started with my degree and then added on innovative SEO practices that avoid gimmicks and focus on long-term sustainability. 

I have been helping people make their own systems for so long that I even created my own framework for creating customized systems. Find out more here.

I also know what it is like to try and learn everything for the administrative side of your business when all you want to do is work with clients and customers doing what you do best. It’s coming to the realization that if you throw your laptop across the room one more time, you’ll have to pay to replace it. So let’s set the device down and give you the space to delegate. 

Working with me means that you will always have a balance between stress-management and productivity. We want to set you up for the success you deserve.

Every business owner needs balance for business operations

My job here at Jewels of Teaching is to help you achieve that balance. 

Wherever you are at in the process, I would love to help you move forward with confidence. 

Here are some resources that I would recommend as the first steps in your business operations journey:

1. Task BluePrint Blog: Learn about what a Task BluePrint is so that you can start to understand what you need in a system
2. Organize the Chaos Masterclass: Create your organization hub side-by-side with me as I organize my Canva in this quick masterclass!
3. Create a Self-Care Plan Guide: Don’t forget that being a business owner means that you have to give yourself time for self-care too. That is how you achieve the ultimate balance. This guide gives you step-by-step how to build a self-care plan that works for you and your lifestyle.

I specialize in Airtable as it has the most versatility to hold documents, images, data, and automations. Plus, Airtable includes a lot in its Free version. You will find Airtable in so many of my sentences and recommendations because it is so helpful for business scaling, outreach, organization, and streamlined automations.

I love combining Airtable with other platforms like Google Drive, Canva, and Make.com too. There are so many amazing platforms that it really depends on how we can meet your needs. As such, though I recommend Airtable as a main hub for productivity, I can work in whichever ones you are comfortable with for any services.
