Today, I'm chatting with Sam, certified digital business manager and systems educator. After starting her virtual assistant business first armed with a biochemistry degree and a total of zero experience in digital marketing, it was safe to say she felt a little over her head. Fast forward to working with over 20 clients, tackling everything from copywriting to managing over 20 member masterminds.

Bullet points of key topics + chapter markers :

0:26 : Sam's background before starting her business and what led her to being OBM

4:14 : How long Sam has been OBM for & finding her first client 

4:34 : Who is Sam serving when it comes to her ideal client avatar

5:17 : Sam's current schedule of hours per week for her clients

6:00 : Sam's retainer rate and what that includes for the client

9:17 : What has been the catalyst for Sam's clients growth

12:12 : Hardest part about managing & growing a team

16:20 : Sam's advice for hiring your first COO
