OBM Academy

Australia’s number one course for Online Business Managers.

Don’t just take our word for it

Another day,

for someone else.

I love what I do, but it’s a little bit A LOT exhausting!

Overworked, underpaid and exhausted?

A new way to grow your business that values YOU.  

As an OBM, you’ve dedicated yourself to your clients, often placing their dreams and goals ahead of your own. Long days and late nights have become your norm, as you’re invested and want results. The quest for new clients, and keeping them happy, is like an uphill battle. It seems impossible to earn what YOU want, to build your own empire and work when works for you.

But picture this—what if there’s a path to success that doesn’t demand your round-the-clock commitment? Imagine having the freedom to choose. Whether it’s work or play. Enjoying your weekends again while confidently growing your client base, and feeling appreciated for your hard work.

Sounds too good to be true? Well, it’s not only possible, but it’s also right at your fingertips. Introducing OBM Academy – designed specifically to help you build the OBM business you signed up for; one that serves you instead of you serving it. 

We’re here to hand you the keys to a thriving, 6-figure OBM business.

What if I told you it is possible to create a six-figure OBM business that gives you the freedom you desire without working longer and harder?

Tired of feeling undervalued by your clients? 

You did all the right things and your client is still unhappy

Yes! You won the amazing client. You throw yourself a victory party and get to work. You give it your all, going above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. In fact, you overdelivered, worked longer hours, researched custom solutions, and even reduced your price. But despite your best efforts, you receive a disappointing and frankly, ungrateful response. Now, you’re frustrated, holding back tears and questioning your own abilities.

But here’s the thing: not everyone is the right fit for you, and that’s okay. The good news is, the amazing clients you dream of do exist. At OBM Academy, we’ll show you how to communicate your value, attract the best clients who appreciate and value your expertise and build long-lasting, rewarding relationships.

Say goodbye to feeling unappreciated and hello to raving reviews.

I want clients who inspire me, value my knowledge and my experience.

What my OBM Academy Students have to say

OBM Academy is hands down the best investment I have ever made for my business. I’ve done a lot of courses and masterclasses in my time (even spent $20,000 on a business coach) but the value I’ve received from this course far exceeds anything else.

Robin Kupferschmid

Online Business Manager, RK System Solutions

I wasn’t “just a student” or another number. You got to know me, my struggles, my insecurities and help me through it. You gave me exactly what I needed from the first module, solving the biggest problem I was struggling with.

Jelena Angus

Online Business & Operations Manager, Growth Advantage

Thank you a million times beautiful women for creating life changing content in a beautifully articulated and presented way, with detailed examples to follow. It’s very refreshing to feel so supported and equipped to complete the tasks that will immediately impact my business. I light up every time I open new content! Picking a favourite module was like picking a favourite fur child 🙂 haha! impossible. I loved it all.

Fleur Myers

Online Business Manager, Fleur Myers Consulting

I’d been wanting to make the lead from VA to OBM for some time but always felt stuck in how I could do that. Once I’d completed the challenge and saw for myself how much I got out of that and how well I connected with Leanne’s teaching and content, joining OBMA was a no brainer. The content is well put together and while giving you guidance, it also allows and encourages you to really find your own magic skillset unlike some other options where it’s more of a ‘this is what you should do’ format.

Sally Taylor

Virtual Assistant, Sal Taylor Business Support Services

I was a bit lost as to how I could grow and evolve my business. I was swapping time for money or constantly in a circle of finding new project work and I was tired. Tired of the constant hustle. I wanted something more but I didn’t know what that looked like. I just knew OBM Academy was the best solution to uplevel both myself and my business. I would highly recommend both Leanne and her team and the OBM Academy if you are wanting to step into the OBM world.

Sophie Carr

Online Systems Specialist, Cultivate Business Support

I most certainly would recommend this course to others within the virtual assistant industry. Thank you so much Leanne and team for all the work you have put in to pull this program together. I really loved that there was a program here in Australia. I have gained so much knowledge from participating in this course that I can put into practice.

How do I know
you’re not just talk?

My mission?

Transform the industry, one OBM at a time, starting with me.

Leanne Woff OBM Coach sitting with coffee

Let’s walk down memory lane.

It all started when I was a young girl…

Raised in my dad’s greasy-kneed mechanic workshop, I developed a knack for running a business early on. When I broke into the VA world and started building my empire, I realised this was a different ballgame.

Despite being a newbie, I scaled heights most take 8 years to reach. To me, it was business as usual. However, it turned out I was operating at a whole new standard. But with that came challenges.

I constantly had to explain my unique approach, convince prospects of my reliability, and debunk the industry myth that I was merely a $5 per hour assistant. Tired of this narrative, I transformed from VA to OBM, revamping my services, pricing, and communication strategy.

How do I know
OBM Academy is for me?

OBM ACADEMY IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

  • You believe doing the same thing you’ve always done will get you different results
  • You’re looking for a quick-fix, zero-action solution
  • You’d rather go it alone than be supported by a community
  • You’re not prepared to invest in yourself to grow your business

OBM ACADEMY IS FOR YOU IF:

  • You love supporting your clients but wish it was
    more profitable
  • Want to stand-out in the OBM industry with clients lining up to work with you
  • Are committed to offering a high-quality service
  • Working 14 hour days and missing your kid’s bedtime is getting stale
  • Want to learn how to ditch trading time for money
  • Ready to get your hands and elbows dirty to get the badass results you know you can

    OBM Academy is the best course I have ever had the pleasure of doing. The content, tasks and assignments, together with the outstanding support from you and Chloe, is wonderful. If I ever wrote a course, it’s exactly how I would do it. Modules with tasks and keeping the participant accountable makes the content invaluable, more likely to finish and thus become a raving graduate of your program.

    THANK YOU Leanne!

    Thank you for your time and patience with me throughout this course, I appreciate you more than you know. I found all your modules, tools and templates so valuable as they helped me to not only understand each topic better, they enabled me to look at things with a different perspective.

     

    Sarah Field

    Virtual Assistant, Sarah Field

    As a proud student of Leanne’s I can *assure* you that this isn’t another faffy “just show up and pretend to know what you’re doing” kinda course. She’s kicking my hineey. I’ve been in leadership, management, and mentoring for over a decade in small businesses, large fashion retailers, and also government agencies, and I have to say – this is the best investment I’ve ever experienced. Stop waiting for permission to step up and own your title. Do the work, learn the things you need, and show the world that you’re the absolute best OBM they could ask for!

    Do you have more questions?

    When does the program start?

    The first week kicks off on Monday 1st July 2024

    What if I get stuck?

    We’ll help unstick you. This program has been built from the ground up with one thing in mind – impact. Small steps for big results. When you get stuck, you’ve got access to weekly coaching calls, the private support group to ask the questions you need answered so you can keep going.

    How is the training delivered?

    We understand everyone learns slightly differently. The training is packaged into a mix of live video, recorded video training via our course portal, written explanations and visual diagrams. There are nine modules which are released one week at a time.

    How much time do I need to commit?

    Like any program, you get out what you put in. The minimum we’d recommend is 3 hours per week (about 30 minutes a day), to watch the training and complete the needle moving tasks.

    How long do I have access to the course materials?

    You have 12-months access from the program start date. This means you’ll have access to the all program materials and the coaching call recordings.

    How are the coaching calls held and when are they?

    The live coaching calls with be held via Zoom and be interactive.

    The calls will be held weekly usually on Thursdays at 10:00am AEST/AEDT, however this is subject to change.

    Are there assessments?

    Yes! At the end of each module there is a small assignment, you’ll be asked to complete a task or activity that directly relates to your current OBM business. Once reviewed, you’ll be able to use what you’ve created within your business everyday. In other words, you’re creating business assets you can use on repeat.

    What is the refund policy?

    We don’t want you to feel like you can’t change your mind.

    On this side of the screen, we’re confident we’ll deliver exactly what we’ve said we will. However, we understand you might feel a little unsure.

    That’s why if you learn the content, implement the actions, and aren’t satisfied we will issue you a full refund, up until 14 days post program commencement date. Past this point or without proof of content completion, no refunds will be issued.

    I’m not an Online Business Manager, will this still work for me?

    Unless you’re something awfully OBM-like (Operations VA, Project Management VA, Digital Assistant etc), probably not.

    Are the results guaranteed?

    No. Although we’d love to be able to say everyone gets the same incredible results, this is not something we can guarantee. Each person’s results will differ based on both internal and external factors such as the level of commitment made, the amount of action taken, understanding of online business operations, the current economy and financial climate and the like.

    Do I need prior knowledge to enrol?

    No formal education is required, however this program is most beneficial for those currently running an OBM or similar business.

    The Queen of Confidence

    Leanne and Audacious Empires have literally changed my business and they’ve changed my relationship with my business. As a result, I’ve fallen back in love with my business and my work and what I’m trying to create and contribute to the world.  I no longer feel like I’m alone in business and it’s the most wonderful feeling.

    I feel so, so excited for the future and for the business that I’m building now because I’m getting rest and I’m starting to relax because I don’t have to be the only brain inside everything. The Audacious Empires team is in my business, and they’re helping me meet all of my goals, and I get to chill and enjoy the ride. I couldn’t recommend them more. You’ll be in great hands.

    Leanne, just wanted to say a HUGE thank you so much for being an incredible human being and the countless hours and all the work you’ve done for Wordfetti.

    Leanne is incredible. If you’re looking for someone that can literally figure anything out, particularly across the automation and tech side, which is really important, she works really hard to understand your business and come up with the best solution for you and what you need for your clients or your students. So I highly, highly recommend working with Leanne.
