Who Do YOU Know is an Online Business Manager?
I am honored today to be asked to participate in a Book Blog Tour for a great new resource for business owners and Virtual Assistants. Tina Forsythe has just published a book titled Becoming An Online Business Manager.
As a virtual business owner and a former VA (Virtual Assistant), Forsythe knows first-hand the challenges that are faced by business owners as they struggle to grow their business.
When asked what prompted the writing of this book, Forsythe replied “we are seeing more business owners who are ready to hire at the management level. They already have teams of virtual assistants, webmasters, designers and other contractors, but what they really need is someone to manage all of this; to play a bigger role in their business so that they can grow to the next level.”
This book encourages business owners to move from being 100% self-sufficient, to searching and working with an Online Business Manager to help grow their business.
Virtual Assistants need some help and encouragement in moving themselves to an even greater position of responsibility and are encouraged to seek out a position as an Online Business Manager (OBM).
Many VAs have the knowledge and skill sets necessary to operate as an OBM, but have no clue that this type of opportunity exists. The demand has never been greater for online business support and OBMs are becoming a necessity for business owners.
OBMs can free up time for their client(s) to focus on business-building tasks. Some of these tasks demand the business owner personally handle them, such as forming and nurturing strategic alliances, product development and, brainstorming.
The hands-on book gives complete “nuts and bolts” explanations that are needed to develop and work with an Online Business Manager. A blueprint has been created that guides both the business owner and the Virtual Assistant through this new territory of responsibility and growth critical to the success of many businesses.
Participating in a book blog tour is a wonderful way to help others and you, my readers know by now that I’m all about doing that. By helping to promote a wonderful book and resource, I’m very pleased to be included in such a great schedule of reviews. Please be sure to read the rest of the posts that are scheduled for Tina’s blog tour!
