The Get Paid Podcast: The Stark Reality of Entrepreneurship and Being Your Own Boss Gwen Castleberry: From VA to OBM
Gwen Castleberry is a certified OBM and has been working as a VA/OBM since 2013. She helps online entrepreneurs bring structure and flow to their businesses through project management and systematization. Having worked in a variety of jobs from selling corn on a farm to teaching college classes, Gwen firmly believes that it doesn’t matter what industry you’re in. What matters is providing value and building relationships.
Gwen’s not just any OBM though, and has been with my business since the Dark Ages. Tune in to this episode of Where Are They Now to see how our relationship has evolved, how Gwen’s business has grown, and things to keep in mind as you consider bringing on your own OBM.
“You can't assume that something that comes easily to you isn't valuable to somebody else. Not everybody does it naturally. ” — Gwen Castleberry
