Hey there! Let's chat about something that's been buzzing around in my mind lately—

The wonderful world of 'Done For You' (DFY) and 'Done With You' (DWY) entrepreneurship.

It's like this secret club of amazing people who make things happen, often behind the scenes, but with such impact that businesses literally transform because of them.

And guess what? It’s more than just a job; it’s a craft, an art form, and a journey of personal and professional growth.

I've been on this journey myself, navigating the highs and lows of being an Online Business Manager (OBM). Trust me, I've seen it all—from the thrill of a client's "aha" moment when everything clicks to the grit it takes to pull off a project when the odds are stacked against you. But here’s the thing: being a DFY or DWY entrepreneur is not just about ticking tasks off a list.

It's about pouring your heart and soul into your work, creating magic that propels businesses forward. It's about strategy, creativity, and, most importantly, making a tangible difference.

And yet, so many talented DFY and DWY pros out there are undervaluing themselves. Maybe it’s the industry norms, or maybe it’s those pesky inner voices that tell us we're "just a VA" or "just a designer." But here's the truth—there's nothing "just" about what you do. Your work is essential, powerful, and frankly, pretty darn amazing.

Firstly, the role of a DFY or DWY entrepreneur is incredibly dynamic.

Each project is a new adventure, demanding a unique blend of creativity, strategic thinking, and problem-solving. Imagine stepping into a new business landscape with each client, where you’re not just a contributor but a co-creator of success. This role requires you to wear multiple hats, constantly learning and adapting. It's about being a strategist one day, a designer the next, and a problem-solver always. This diversity keeps the work exciting and immensely rewarding.

Then there's the relationship with the clients.

As a DFY or DWY entrepreneur, you’re not just completing tasks; you're building relationships based on trust, understanding, and shared goals. These relationships can be deeply rewarding, as you witness and contribute to your clients' growth firsthand. It's about being part of their journey, celebrating their wins as your own, and knowing that your work directly impacts someone else's dream. This connection is what makes the DFY and DWY path so special.

However, it's not without its challenges.

Navigating client expectations and advocating for your value can be daunting. The industry often undervalues the expertise and effort that DFY and DWY professionals bring to the table. It requires a strong sense of self-worth and the ability to communicate the value of your work effectively. This is where mindset shifts from viewing yourself as "just a service provider" to recognizing your role as an essential partner in your clients' success stories.

The creative freedom in the DFY and DWY space is unparalleled.

You have the opportunity to bring your vision and creativity to life, often in a collaborative environment that values your input and ideas. This aspect of the work can be incredibly fulfilling, as you see your concepts and designs become integral parts of a successful business. It’s a testament to the power of creativity and innovation in the entrepreneurial world.

Finally, the journey of personal and professional growth is perhaps the most compelling aspect of being a DFY and DWY entrepreneur.

With each project, you’re not just expanding your portfolio but also honing your skills, deepening your understanding of various industries, and pushing your boundaries. This path offers a unique opportunity for continuous learning and self-discovery, where the challenges you face and the victories you achieve contribute to your evolving narrative as a creative and an entrepreneur.

This realization hit me like a ton of bricks a few years back. I was deep into the OBM life, doing strategy and design, and loving it. But I kept bumping into this wall of perception—both my own and others'.

Comments about being "too expensive" or not fitting into the conventional box of what a support professional should be. It was frustrating, disheartening, and it made me question my worth.

But then, something clicked. I decided to embrace my uniqueness, my skills, and my value. I leaned into the fact that I'm not just providing a service; I'm offering a transformation. 

And let me tell you, when you start seeing your work through that lens, everything changes. You move from being a behind-the-scenes player to a leading role in your clients' success stories.

That's why I'm so passionate about empowering others in the DFY and DWY space.
