🔹 Episode Summary:

This week on Breakthrough with Coach B, I’m sitting down with Brittney Ashley, the founder of Creative Dynamics Virtual Services. If you’ve ever said, “I just need a VA!”—you might want to listen to this first.

Brittney shares what needs to happen first to get a real return on that hire. We explore the difference between a VA and an Online Business Manager (OBM), how to know which one you need, and how a business audit can uncover the hidden inefficiencies costing you time, energy, and money.

We also talk pricing models, team structure, delegation fears, and what “fractional employment” actually looks like in a modern real estate business. This is about more than outsourcing—it’s about stepping into leadership and setting your business up to grow (with or without you).

🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why OBMs are more than just “advanced VAs”
✅ What needs to be in place before you hire help
✅ How to stop being a DEY (Do-Everything-Yourself) agent
✅ The surprising ROI of cleaning up your back end
✅ How to know if your business is actually sellable
✅ Tips to prepare for onboarding—from systems to passwords
✅ Why leadership (not perfectionism) is the real growth strategy
