What It Actually Means to Have an Online Business Manager

Written by Horner Services | Apr 21, 2025 5:30:17 PM

Running your own business is amazing, but it can be a lot to juggle. If you're a coach, therapist or wellness practitioner, chances are you're amazing at helping others but find it tricky to stay on top of everything behind the scenes.

That’s where having an Online Business Manager (OBM) can make a massive difference.

So what’s an OBM?

An OBM is your behind-the-scenes support, helping to keep things ticking over smoothly, so you can focus on what you do best - working with your clients, showing up in your business, and even having time to breathe and enjoy it!

While a VA helps with doing tasks, an OBM looks at how everything is working (or not working) and finds ways to make it all easier, smoother, and more aligned with you and your brain.

That might look like…

  • You’ve got a task board set up somewhere… but it’s chaos and more hassle than help?

  • Doing the same repetitive task every week and wondering if there’s a way to remove the burden altogether?

  • Too much admin, too many steps, and it’s all feeling a bit overwhelming?

  • You’re busy every day but feel like nothing’s moving forward?

It’s not just about tools and systems…

I’m an ISFJ-T, which basically means I love supporting people in a calm, structured and thoughtful way. I’m not here to take over, I’m here to gently hold things together so you feel less overwhelmed and more supported.

My job is to help your business feel lighter. That might look like:

  • Less “what am I forgetting?” stress

  • Systems that finally make sense

  • Being able to step back without everything falling apart

  • Feeling like someone has your back (because I do!)

You don’t have to do it all alone

If you’re spinning all the plates and wondering how long you can keep going like this, you’re not the only one. And you’re definitely not failing.

So if you’re a UK-based female entrepreneur, especially if you’re in coaching, wellness or therapy, and you’re craving more support and less chaos, I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s make your business feel calmer, clearer, and more you 💛
