In January of 2025, I made the bold decision to quit social media as my main marketing platform. I'd spent 2 years posting daily and 2 more years posting haphazardly and I was over it.

 I hate social media and don't even use it personally, so why was I spending 10+ hours a month on a marketing method I genuinely hated?

Many of my blog posts lately have played with ideas of what many people know and believe virtual assistants and online business managers to be. I see so many small business owners try to use a VA or an OBM for all things in their business without having any actual strategy or having consulted someone whose specialty is in the area they are needing help with. These range from bookkeeping (needs a bookkeeper), to branding (needs a brand strategist), to financial operations (needs a financial ops manager), and even marketing (needs a marketing director). ..

Growing your business the way you want takes more than just setting up systems and having some cool automations. It takes intentionality in how you do every single thing in your business. Every move you make needs to consider your business goals and how you want to be perceived by your audience…

Your business is growing and you need to bring in help to manage your operations, finances, and day-to-day tasks. There’s about fifty-eleven options for who to choose to help you with these tasks and the question becomes, where do you start?

I've met more than 100 small business owners in the last few years and not a single one of them likes doing their bookkeeping, unless they are a bookkeeper. I mean, same. And while it's one thing to know you need or want financial support, figuring out who to hire is a whole other beast…

As business owners, we’re constantly trying to figure out the best way to market our business, questioning what we’re doing now and what we’ve done in the past, and working to keep things always moving forward…

Marketing is often painted as loud, fast, and extroverted. But what if you’re quiet, reflective, and prefer meaningful one-on-one conversations over big, bold broadcasts? The good news is that marketing for introverts doesn’t have to look like traditional, high-energy promotional strategies…

If I had to pick one activity that the business owners I work with have the least amount of confidence in doing, it would be hiring for their team…

Your business is likely guided by your systems and processes without you even realizing it.

I find that by the time business owners come to me, they have many of their systems and processes in place, they just aren’t…

The systems you use in your small business are its backbone; they come together with your processes to make your business what it is. Think of a giant web (business) of interconnected pieces (processes) and parts (systems)…

Maybe you’ve heard that systems are the backbone of a business. That’s great, but what exactly is a system, anyway?

In the online business realm, there’s a million jargon words floating around, and even as an OBM, it can be hard to keep up with them.
