Many online businesses who have grown to a good size and earn six figures struggle with the management of their business as their other responsibilities of growing the business, coaching clients, networking, etc. is taking up their time – and rightly so!

This book informs all parties about what the role of the OBM (online business manager) entails and who is cut out for this special kind of work. The book also teaches coaches and consultants how to make use of an online business manager in their business and outlines the enormous benefits. The cry for qualified management staff in online business is becoming louder as more and more online businesses grow significantly. Get rid of the onerous task of managing a virtual team and hire a certified online business manager! This way your business will be flying so much faster and you experience less headaches.

Joel and Sue have more than 50 years of combined experience supporting and operating small businesses. They operate BizBa6 Small Business Support Services and love not only their work but the life it allows them to live. This book (Joel’s third business book, Sue’s first) shares how they think about business—it’s a ‘why to’, not a ‘how-to’ because it focuses on how people think and what they want—not just your clients, but you, too.
Sue and Joel run a very successful VA business and are well known in the VA industry. I recommend you check out this book if you are a virtual assistant or thinking of becoming one.
