What does it really take to transition from a decade in the legal world to running a successful OBM agency—while raising a family and prioritizing your values?
In this episode of The OBM Show (also available on YouTube), I sit down with Julie Calcote, Accredited OBM, founder of Julie Calcote OBM Services, and a beloved mentor inside OBM School. Julie shares her journey from working behind the scenes in law offices to building a thriving business that gives her more space, purpose, and presence—both at work and at home.
Julie first entered the online business world as a Virtual Assistant, but quickly realized she was already doing OBM-level work. Once she claimed the title (and the rates), everything changed. In this honest conversation, Julie shares how she built her OBM business around the life she wanted—not the other way around.
We cover what her workdays actually look like, how she manages priorities as a mom and business owner, and the strategies she uses to stay productive without burnout.
You’ll learn:
- How Julie made the leap from VA to OBM
- What her day-to-day looks like now running an OBM agency
- How she uses tools like the Pomodoro Technique to stay focused and present
- Why values-aligned clients are key to sustainable success
- Her advice for aspiring OBMs ready to make their next move
If you’re wondering how to build a business that fits your real life—not just your résumé—Julie’s story is packed with practical insight and heartfelt encouragement.
This episode is for anyone who's juggling ambition and life, and ready to build a business that works for them.
