Wondering if it’s time to hire an Online Business Manager? Here are 5 key signs it might be the right move for you:

1. Your business is growing, but your free time is shrinking.
You likely started your business to gain more freedom—whether it’s time, money, or choice. But as your business grows, are you finding yourself working more instead of less? You’re not alone. Many business owners end up working more hours in their own business than they did in their previous jobs.

It doesn’t have to be this way. As a business owner, you have the power to make changes, including hiring the right help to take tasks off your plate. This is where an Online Business Manager (OBM) steps in—focusing on freeing you up so you can dedicate your time and energy to what only you can do.

2. You’re turning down opportunities because you’re too busy.
Being too busy can lead to missed opportunities. Do you often find yourself saying, “I’d love to do X, but I just don’t have the time right now”? An OBM can free up your schedule so you can explore these opportunities. They can also take charge of turning new strategies, projects, and offers into reality—from concept to launch.

3. You’re still doing the same things you did when you started your business.
In the beginning, you wore all the hats—handling everything from admin work to customer service. But now that your business has grown, are you still doing those same tasks? Updating your website, sending broadcasts, and answering customer emails should no longer fall on your shoulders. As your business grows, so should your role.

An OBM will help you let go of those old responsibilities and focus on the big-picture tasks that drive your business forward.

4. You have a great team, but they’re constantly asking for your help.
Even with a great team, many business owners get frustrated by how often their team needs their input. Someone is always asking questions or needing approval, which pulls you away from important tasks. What your team needs is someone to manage them—someone they can go to for questions and guidance, rather than coming to you all the time.

An OBM becomes that central point of contact, managing your team so you can focus on growing your business.

5. You’re stuck at a certain revenue point and can’t seem to break through.
If you’re hitting a revenue ceiling, the bottleneck might be you. Many business owners experience this at some point, often referred to as the “quarter-million-dollar speed bump.” To get past it, you’ll need to step away from day-to-day management and focus on higher-level growth.

Ask yourself: Do I really need to handle X task? Chances are, many of the things on your to-do list can be delegated. An OBM will manage this process, ensuring tasks are properly assigned and handled without your constant involvement.

In short, if you:

  • Have hit 6-figures in revenue
  • Have a clear vision and goals for growth
  • Are ready to step into the CEO role and let someone else run the business

…then you’re ready to hire an OBM.
