The Audacious OBM with Leanne Woff

Today, we're answering a question from a listener: I think I have the right skills to become an Online Business Manager, but I don't have the experience. What do I do? It's important to remember that experience isn't everything. You can learn the skills you need to be a successful OBM, even if you don't have any formal experience. At the core of what an OBM does are operations and project management. These are two skills that can be learned, and they don't necessarily require formal experience. In fact, I believe that anyone can be an OBM, regardless of their background. It's all about having the right attitude and the willingness to learn. So, if you're interested in becoming an OBM, here are a few things you need to know: Soft skills: The most important soft skills for an OBM are organisation, planning, and execution. You need to be able to stay organised, think strategically, and execute tasks efficiently. Communication skills: Communication is also essential for an OBM. You need to be able to communicate effectively with clients, team members, and other stakeholders. Hard skills: There are a few hard skills that are helpful for OBMs, such as proficiency in a document suite, project management system, and communication tool. If you have these skills, or if you're willing to learn them, then you're well on your way to becoming an OBM. So what are you waiting for? Start your journey today!
