HOW TO SET UP A VIRTUAL OFFICE
Tips on how to set up a virtual office with Sarah Noked
The three mistakes people make when they are working with virtual teams is they aren't clear about their goals, their virtual office set-up, and they are not leveraging the power of automation.
Ideally, the point here is to delegate everything that doesn't really require you, the business owner, to do.
Anything that's a recurring task should not be being done by the business owner because in that case, it can be systematized and delegated.
A lot of businesses haven't leveraged something like a project management tool

Sarah Noked: Hey, Doug, thanks for having me on.
Doug Morneau: I'm super excited to talk to you. As I shared before we started recording when Adam first introduced me to you and said, "Hey, what a wonderful person you were in how you helped save his business by systematizing it." I went, yes, my systems suck so I dove into all your stuff, been following you for weeks anticipating this conversation, so I'm happy to have you share your superpower with our audience today.
Sarah Noked: I feel really honored to be here. So thank you.
Doug Morneau: So do you want to just give us an overview of what OBM is for people who don't understand?
Sarah Noked: Yes, that's great. So an OBM is an online business manager. So I'm sure a lot of your listeners are familiar with the virtual assistant world and what a virtual assistant does, and I like to describe an OBM as a VA on steroids. That's the easiest way to visualize it in a lot of ways. And basically what we do is we help business owners streamline their systems, manage their team, manage operations, manage things like launches, so we're like your clone, if you want to go there.
I will help my client ... So typically a business owner will look to bring on an OBM when they earn a certain revenue bracket when they have a team to manage, and pretty much when they're ready to delegate their day to day operations, they don't really want to necessarily be in their business, they recognize that their time is much better spent focusing on making sales conversations, or creating products, whatever is closest to the revenue I always say. So an OBM can really help free up a client's time to focus on what only they can do in their business. Ideally, the point here is to delegate everything that doesn't really require you, the business owner, to do.
Doug Morneau: it's funny, I'm often laughed at, probably not very polite but other people's expense, looking at what owners of businesses will do,
