Become an OBM Associate
Managing an online business can often feel isolating if you don’t have a connected community. When you become an OBM Associate, you’ll become part of a small community of like-minded OBMs that know what it takes to be an extraordinary Online Business Manager. We are a powerhouse of OBMs that do business together and you’ll have opportunities to meet in-person... it's time to stop hiding at home 24/7!
Our small community receives on-the-job-support with a library of resources, templates, with proven frameworks to strengthen how you operate and support your clients. OBM Associates® supports you in critical thinking, client expectations and developing your confidence. Together, we build an intimate working partnership and friendship, curing the loneliness of entrepreneurship.
Love being an Online Business Manager but HATE marketing? OBM Associates® makes this possible! Over the years, with an audience that trusts our expertise, that trust is now transferred to you as an associate.
At OBM Associates®, you have complete red flag protection. Your clients are guaranteed good-quality clients vetted by us and hand-paired with the most compatible OBM.
Time is one of our most precious, non-renewable resources! We want to get you out of the VA-type tasks (don't worry, we won't leave your clients in the lurch, we have VA Associates that will take good care of them!) and into the management of the OBM role. With fewer clients and a higher hourly rate, you'll be finishing your day at a reasonable hour to spend quality time with friends and family.
We empower our Associates to take back control of their time and freedom and retain responsibility of the clients we facilitate. You’ll have a community of like-minded people to interact with while having the freedom and flexibility to work independently.

Lauren's got the perfect mix of creativity and processes. Support and challenge. Fun and respectful. Strategy and implementation. Proactive and has high standards. There are so many favourite aspects of working with Lauren, but mainly knowing I'm not alone and having someone whose opinion and insights I trust and respect.
The systems and strategies Lauren has implemented in my business have been great; I love them all - honestly, the way Lauren's brain works and her knowledge are all extremely valuable.

Lauren is not only an incredible business manager but an incredible human. Her approachable and genuine personality made working with her so easy. I had been struggling for years, trying to juggle running my business alone. I was plodding through all of my tasks in way I was used to and didn’t know a better way to work, until Lauren came along. She easily analysed my business, simply streamlined it and put systems into place with so much ease, I can’t believe I had been wasting so much time before. What I loved most about Lauren is her bubbly personality, her focused business approach, her support. If you're thinking about working with Lauren, do it! She is the best investment I have made for my business. You are an amazing soul!

Hello! I’m Lauren; Freedom Lifestyle, Connection and Community Is My Jam!
And OBM Associates® was created just for you!
Ready to be part of something bigger?
Having worked as a European Business Manager for several years before launching my own OBM business in May 2020, I quickly learned that being an extraordinary OBM goes beyond simply implementing systems.In 2022, I found a new passion for teaching and supporting like-minded OBMs, having experienced firsthand the challenges they face. Humble and grounded, I am committed to helping OBMs transform their businesses and achieve a lifestyle that aligns with their goals. With my natural attributes of consistent support, loyalty, and reliability, I am dedicated to providing the guidance and tools necessary for success. My ultimate goal is to help you achieve freedom and flexibility in both your business and your life.
Why me?
By being open and honest about our own experiences and challenges, we can help each other navigate similar situations and learn from one another, and foster a sense of community that leads to personal growth and development.
Sharing our knowledge is crucial in supporting our clients and developing sustainable strategies for their business growth. By sharing our expertise and insights, we can help our clients make informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls. It's a collaborative approach that leads to long-term success for everyone involved.
Sharing knowledge, experiences and vulnerability
Yep, same! I’ve leapt and invested in courses and mentorship that offer zero aftercare and support to know whether you are doing things right or can ask questions and get solid guidance beyond the contract end date.
Invested in courses with zero aftercare and ongoing support?
Through my experience working with a diverse range of online businesses, I have gained valuable insight into identifying red-flag clients. By using my exceptional judgment and asking the right questions, I can provide you with red-flag client protection.
Still attracting non-aligned clients through your marketing efforts?
After dedicating countless hours to research and developing a range of resources, including templates, frameworks, and learning systems, you will have access to a comprehensive library of tools. And if there's something specific you need that's not in the library, we can co-create it together.
Everyday Frameworks: Tried, Tested, and Proven to Be Successful
Despite my efforts to join Facebook Groups and Memberships in search of a supportive community, I have yet to find the right fit. Most of these groups are too large to foster a sense of connection, leaving us feeling disconnected and unsupported. As humans, we crave genuine connection, and I believe that finding the right community is essential to achieving this.
