What to do when your OPERATIONS feel heavy (and WTF is the difference between an OBM and a VA?)
02/13/22 • 35 min
Today’s episode is such an important topic as we discuss what to do when the operations side of your business starts to feel heavy.
Once the initial buzz of growing your business fades, things can start to feel a little heavy and overwhelm can set in when you find yourself “too busy” juggling all the balls. Whether it’s because you’re still in the weeds of doing #allthethings or something about the way your team is working just doesn’t feel quite right, it’s something you need to address and eliminate ASAP!
In this episode I chat with business analyst, consultant and mindset coach, Melissa Froehlich who shares how to untangle yourself from the heavy vibe that can come from managing all the operations in your business and how to find flow and alignment in your business.
Melissa’s background is in supporting business owners to run their operations (and give them their lives back!) and we chat about:
- The importance of good “operational hygiene” - what this actually means and how to check it in your business
- WTF the difference is between a VA, OBM, DOO and Integrator (you need to know this!) and who you should look to hire and when
- How understanding yourself as a leader informs the style of team you actually need and how critical this element is when it comes to the operational side of your business feeling smooth
This 30 minutes might be the best you spend on your business this month, as Melissa shares all the juicy tips to give you clarity in what’s causing the heaviness and how to banish it for good - in the right way for your business.
I can’t wait to hear what you think!

To grow to 7 figures (and beyond) you have to do THIS
In the spirit of today’s episode, let’s get straight to it. Scaling from 6 to 7 figures is hard and it’s normal to hit a plateau.
The reason you hit resistance is because the hustle that got you to 6 figures... that ‘foundational’ stage simply isn’t what you need to KEEP doing to continue to grow.
The reality is that growth from 6 to 7 figures brings a new and often, unexpected set of challenges.
In today’s episode I’m sharing the key mindset shifts to get you out of hustle mode and into 7 figure entrepreneur and CEO mode making the quantum leap from your old business to your new business, finally possible.
This episode covers:
- The 3 key areas you need to focus on to scale to 7 figures and beyond (without the hustle!)
- Why most entrepreneurs hit a revenue plateau once they’ve cleared 6 figures
- The key element of growth most business coaches and business programs skip over
- The ‘must ask’ questions you need to ponder (and answer!) to create the best foundation to build from
- Why quantum leaping doesn’t come from ‘doing’ more (and what it comes from instead)
So as you execute your big plans for growth this year, make your journey of growth easier by listening to this powerful episode.
