"My mission in writing this book is simple - it's to help you, the future Online Business Manager, to open your eyes to the possibility of doing this for a living", writes entrepreneur Tina Forsyth in her practical, hands on guide Becoming an Online Business Manager: Playing a Bigger Role with your Clients (and Yourself). The author provides the game plan and shares freely the insider secrets, to becoming a full time Online Business Professional, with both the new entrepreneur and the client's success in mind.
Tina Forsyth recognizes that the role of virtual Online Business Manager is a new and still evolving business. As a result, she instills the excitement of becoming part of an entirely new internet based industry. The business opportunity is presented as an expansion of the already established virtual assistant profession. With so many virtual assistants becoming overloaded with clients, and a rapidly growing demand for more services, the time is ripe for taking the virtual assistant career to the next level. The role of Online Business Professional, as outlined step by step in the book, is the solution for overworked virtual assistants and for corporate project managers seeking seeking a lucrative entrepreneurial venture.
Tina Forsyth (photo left) brings her own business experience to the book, and her insider knowledge is very much in evidence. She understands how to work with clients to build their companies through matching the right skills to the job to ensure timely and profitable results. Far from being an assistant, the Online Business Manager (OBM) is a virtual partner in the client's organization, while becoming a growing business in its own right. As the OBM businesses grows, new opportunities are created through additional collaboration with other clients, as well as with many virtual assistance.
For me, the power of the book is the author's practical, straight to the point style, that shows the reader how to start and operate a successful Online Business Manager company. Tina Forstyth recognizes that her industry is still in the early stages of development, and how it can grow and evolve with the virtual assistant profession. The author does a fine job of demonstrating how a new Online Business Manager can start, manage, and grow a business, while adding value to clients and their companies. The book provides the tool for taking full advantage of a vast and still untapped business opportunity.
I highly recommend the inspirational and practical book Becoming an Online Business Manager: Playing a Bigger Role with your Clients (and Yourself) by Tina Forsyth to any current virtual assistant professionals and to any former corporate managers seeking a growing business niche. With the economy in a downturn, the role of the Online Business Manager will become even more important, as companies downsize staff and seek to contract out the still needed tasks.
Read Becoming an Online Business Manager: Playing a Bigger Role with your Clients (and Yourself) by Tina Forsyth, and become part of a new and dynamic industry, as a business owner. The author coaches the new OBM to prosper in any economy, and to help their clients achieve constant business success as well.
