Episode Synopsis

You’re booked out, delivering results, and working harder than ever… so why does your income keep stalling at $5K months?In this episode of “The OBM Show”, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most common plateaus OBMs face: the dreaded $5K ceiling. If you’ve hit that wall where every month feels maxed out, but your bank account doesn’t reflect your effort, you’re not alone and you’re not doing anything “wrong.”The truth is, $5K months don’t mean you’ve made it. They mean your current business model has reached its limit. And breaking through requires a very different approach than the hustle that got you here.Here’s what we cover:Why selling time instead of transformation automatically caps your income How retainer fatigue keeps OBMs drained and underpaid The role premium offers play in positioning you as a true leader Why your positioning matters as much as your delivery (and how to shift it)How to stop undercharging for COO-level results What it really looks like to step into OBM-CEO mode and grow beyond $5KWhether you’re deep in the $5K hustle or just starting to feel the cracks, this episode will show you what’s keeping you stuck and how to finally move into consistent, sustainable growth without burning out.---------------Thanks for tuning in to The OBM Show - your go-to podcast for Online Business Managers and entrepreneurs who want to scale strategically and sustainably.
