Hey I'm Liz, a website designer turned OBM (aka Online Business Manager). I manage the people, processes, and projects for your business. There’s nothing I loves more than helping creative entrepreneurs build a business that works for them, not the other way around. I creates simple, sustainable systems that give you the freedom to grow your business while bringing consistency, organization, and fun to the things that weigh you down. Even if you're not a "systems person."

My new favorite buzz word 👀

Hey heyyy Reader, Recently I did an Implementensive® with a client who mentioned that they do custom projects for almost every client. AKA, each client gets something slightly different from them. It brought me back to thinking about how a lot of creative service providers like to offer custom packages, rather than have a hard and fast scope of work that everyone goes through. Keeping it loose and offering custom packages definitely gives you more wiggle room in what you offer, because you're...

I’m really excited about this, Reader! Have you ever taken a workcation? If not, let me tell you about them — they’re revolutionary, my friend!! But first, let me back up to how I got here… The other week I was talking to my therapist about being overwhelmed and having too many mental tabs open. I made a flippant comment about how if I could just have 48 hours to myself, I could get so much done and close out a stupid amount of mental tabs… know the feeling? You’re basically Charlie. ⬇️...

Happy Sunday, Reader! I’m coming in hot with some planning for you to do today. Admittedly, I love a good Sunday planning session. So, my question for you today is — have you planned out your schedule for the year yet? I don’t mean every detail, but the big things that are going to actually take you away from work. I’m talking about weddings, vacations, summer break for your kids, anything like that. Planning it now is how you’ll be able to set yourself up for the *right* amount of projects...

Alrighty, Reader, I know I might be a bit biased here as an OBM, but certain automations should always be a non-negotiable in a business. If you're like me and are always curious about what everyone else's behind the scenes setups look like, I've got 3 to tell you about. 1️⃣ Lead management The moment someone hits that magical "Submit" button on your contact form, you've got to acknowledge their inquiry. It's a small step that can make a big impact. If you're like me and most of my clients,...

Happy Sunday Reader! As we start to start to get cozied up for fall, I wanted to share some reflections from these past few months that have been incredibly transformative for both me and my clients. Life-proofing your business so that it can thrive even during unexpected times. This summer, I was hit with my own unexpected interruption, and I’m so glad I was prepared before we had to make changes so I wasn’t trying to navigate life-proofing while it felt like everything was in chaos. The...

Hey hey Reader, Around this time of year, I love to do financial audits with my clients. I know a lot of business owners love to take advantage of Black Friday sales from tool and software companies. But, you need to make sure you’re still using those tools before you get charged again (and at full price). Especially because small subscriptions can add up faster than we realize. A tactic I like to help my clients with is to set reminders a week before a payment is due using a tool like Asana....

Hey Reader, Does it ever feel like your Google Drive is an endless game of Where’s Waldo? Like you’re spending more time searching for files than actually working on your business? If you’re someone with all those random documents floating around that you told yourself you’d “home” later — this email is for you! I’ve fine-tuned a file management system over the years for myself and my clients that’s become the backbone of my efficiency. And it works seamlessly whether you’re using Dropbox or...

Hey hey Reader, So the last year-ish I've been hiring different contractors for my own business. I've also been supporting my clients while they hire team members (mostly contractors). Most of the hires I've personally made have been short-term or for roles that aren't "in" my business. When I say "in" my business I mean someone like Stephanie, my project manager. She's "in" my business, working with clients and managing projects. Whereas someone like Becca, who wrote my website copy, wasn't...
