S1 Ep81: How an OBM & Integrator can help you scale your business with Elizabeth Broderick

After 15 years of working in the oil and gas sector, Elizabeth realized the corporate ladder didn’t inspire her anymore. Last year, she and her husband decided to make a massive shift. They left their successful careers in engineering, moved to Wyoming from Texas, and Elizabeth became an online business manager and integrator. Today, Elizabeth helps small business owners create a business and lifestyle that is sustainable, prevents burnout, and prepares their business for growth or change. She encourages her clients not to fall into the trap of always needing expensive platform subscriptions, a big team, or a big budget to be successful. Instead, Elizabeth helps her clients streamline what they do with the intention of making it manageable, attainable, and realistic. Up until about six months ago, I didn’t even know what an OBM was. But I’ve actually worked with Elizabeth on the OBM and integrator side in preparing for maternity leave. She’s been incredible in helping me understand my vision and implementing systems and processes. I know there are so many social entrepreneurs out there that could really benefit from hiring an OBM or an integrator.
In this episode, we discuss:

• What’s an OBM? What’s an integrator?
• How Elizabeth went from engineer to OBM
• Why growing your team is cost-effective
• How an OBM can help you with your processes
• The importance of prioritizing your to-do list
• 3 ways to work with Elizabeth

“Hiring an OBM or an integrator allows you to clear that clutter out of your brain and hand it off to somebody who's likely more skilled at those tasks and can do them quicker and more efficiently. It makes everything run a little smoother.” - Elizabeth Broderick Follow and learn more about Elizabeth Broderick: W: tractionbusinesssolutions.com IG: @traction.business.solutions
