From Burnout to Booked Out: Real-Life OBM Success with Andrea Ventim
Transitioning from corporate chaos to confident OBM with a fully booked business
If you’ve ever wondered whether you have what it takes to run your own OBM business—especially after years in a high-demand role—you’re not alone. So many seasoned pros feel stuck in burnout, unsure how to translate their experience into something sustainable and fulfilling.
In this episode of The OBM Show, I talk with Andrea Ventim, a former events and operations pro who went from total overwhelm to a booked-out OBM business serving top-tier coaching clients. We dig into how she battled imposter syndrome, set powerful boundaries, and created a workweek that supports her life as a mom and business owner.
“I doubled my income and halved my hours—and the best part? I actually love my work again.”

How Andrea Built Her OBM Business from the Ground Up
Creating space, boundaries, and a business aligned with your life
Andrea didn’t come into OBM School needing to be taught how to lead a team or run a launch—she had been doing it for years. But like so many skilled professionals, she didn’t know how to claim her title, set clear boundaries, or trust herself enough to go all in.
Once she made the decision to treat her business seriously and surround herself with a supportive community, everything shifted. Andrea went from fearful to fully booked in record time—without burning herself out (again).
Here’s what this looks like in action:
- She created her “ideal client” affirmation, recorded it, and listened daily—clients aligned with her values started showing up
- She stopped saying yes to every opportunity and started only accepting full-body yes clients
- She mapped out her ideal workweek and set a firm boundary: no meetings before 10 am on Mondays
- She now works 15–20 hours a week, prioritizing creativity, family, and wellness
- She co-facilitated a client’s live event after adding a mindset bonus module to their program—an unexpected but aligned evolution of her OBM role
The most powerful part? Andrea gave herself permission to go after the business she actually wanted. She’s a living example of what’s possible when you combine structure, skill, and self-belief—and say no to anything less.
