"Wow. At the current prices, I really feel like I got this bootcamp for a steal so Deya should probably think about increasing her pricing. I've taken courses where it was pretty much fluff but this is the complete opposite. So much value, so much knowledge, and it's apparent that Deya really cares about her students.
I absolutely LOVED this bootcamp more than I can express with words. Deya's honesty, real-life examples and lessons, and tools have changed the way I look at my own digital business.
I've already started implementing some of the new skills into my current workflow, and my clients have been impressed. As I grow out of the VA role and into a full time DBM role, I'm sure I'll refer back to these lessons and the AMAZING resource bank. I highly, highly recommend this bootcamp for anyone who is looking to level up their digital skillset and become an indispensable part of a digital team."

"Deya, I can't thank you enough for creating this Bootcamp. The moment I discovered your program, it all made sense.

I landed my first DBM client before I finished the course, and I never would have taken them on without all the knowledge I gained from this course! THANK YOU DEYA!"

"Deya, this Bootcamp was instrumental in helping me to not only obtain my current job as an Operations Manager, but to have the confidence and the knowledge to do an awesome job.
The information that you teach is like liquid gold! Every nugget of knowledge that you have provided has helped me to consistently project manage multiple web-development sites at a time. I continue to create multiple SOP's and the app, Airtable, has become my new best friend.
Not only have I benefited from this course, but so has my client as well. If someone truly want to know what it takes to be a DBM, this is the only course that she/he will need!"

Aside from gaining access to a marvelous goldmine of engaging course lessons and helpful resources, you're also encouraged to develop a greater sense of self-discovery through experiential learning and skills training.
Taking the first step into the unknown was daunting at first, but Deya's warm guidance and the wonderful support of the DBM community made this investment all the more worthwhile. If you've been on the lookout for a course that's dualistically conducive towards the advancement of your professional AND personal growth—look no further. You've just found it."

“This course is well worth the time and money for anyone looking to become a DBM.
I wish I had this course when I first started as an DBM! Deya provides everything you need to know about being a digital business manager, plus so much more. From bonus materials, to a variety of examples, in depth explanations and options upon options to make it all work for you.
I cannot recommend this course enough to anyone who is looking level up as an DBM or are looking to get started as one. Some online courses are filled with 'fluff' but the DBM Bootcamp is the exact opposite - it's highly valuable, actionable and easy to understand/follow along with."

Take the Free Quiz:
Is the role of Digital Business Manager *really* right for you?
Do you love the idea of working remotely, making mad bread while being the trusted right hand of a 6-7 figure entrepreneur you once fan-girled over? Do you want to be the most indispensable person on a team? If your answer is: Yes and yes, then awesome.
But take the quiz anyway — we spent a lot of time making it.
Let’s start out easy - if you could choose to work from absolutely anywhere, where would you LOVE to set up your little work-from-anywhere laptop setup?
Cozied up in sweatpants right at home - with the people and/or animals I love!
In a cute, quaint little cafe with an *insert your favorite drink* and soft music playing in the background
At a coworking space in Bali - surrounded by an incredible culture, amazing food and inspiring people around me
On the road, literally, in an RV, at the airport - I want to be on the go, always!
Correct!
Wrong!
Okay, now be honest - which ones of these do you love?
To-do lists - You’re a sucker for them. Digital, paper, half-paper-half-digital - you name it, chances are you’ve got one.
Planners & schedules - you have them. You love them. You (sometimes) use them. The idea of planning your entire life is SO fun for you
Color-coding - if you’ve ever color-coded or wanted to color code anything… yep, you know who you are. Check this box.
None of these! Ew.
Correct!
Wrong!
What stage are you currently at?
I am in between jobs, on the hunt or still in school!
I am currently working a traditional 9-5 job.
I just started working online 1-2 years ago - as a Virtual Assistant or other type of freelancer!
I’ve been working online for at least 2-3 years now and have quite a few clients under my belt!
Correct!
Wrong!
What’s annoying you the most right now?
You’re working your butt off… but for some reason, still not hitting your well-deserved income goals???
You’re really struggling finding clients. Umm… Where are they at? You’re awesome and ready to work with someone and wow them with your skills!
You feel underprepared and a bit like an… imposter. Hello, confidence? Where are you at?
You have no clue what your next step is. You’re overwhelmed and need someone to make you a step-by-step plan to get to your goals.
Correct!
Wrong!
What best describes how you feel about $$$ when it comes to working online right now?
I’m just getting started, waiting on my first $1 online so I’ll take whatever I can get. (Been there, my friend!)
I’ve got my first few clients and I’m ready to increase my rates, but tbh I’m scared to tell my clients.
I feel good - I’m about market average and my clients are happy to pay them!
I’m experienced, premium, luxury - and my clients know that I’m worth every. single. cent.
Correct!
Wrong!
Your client offers to pay for you to attend an all-expense-paid trip to a training class to learn one of these 3 skills, which would you ideally most like to try out?
Planning the creation of a brand new online course - figuring out who needs to do what by when to help your client create a 5-star online course!
Managing an incredible remote team - making sure they’re happy, hosting weekly calls, hiring new team members, making them feel welcome!
One word: systems. You would love to learn about creating workflows, step-by-step processes and making things more efficient! Woo, documentation! (I know, we’re a special breed.)
Omg… I can’t decide. I want to do ALL of them. (Psst, you might just be a triple threat!)
None of the above - none sound interesting or fun for me.
Correct!
Wrong!
You find a lamp at your local cafe - you give it a rub and a digital genie pops out and grants you 1 wish. Which do you pick?
“I really want to be able to be home with my family - I want to be able to see my kids grow up, be there for it every step of the way and not have to sacrifice and choose between my family and my career ambitions.”
“I want to travel! I want to live life on my terms - aka I would love to work from cafes around the world, explore local cuisines, experience cultures and I want my laptop to come along for the ride so I can earn a sustainable income to fund these travels.”
“Look - I just want freedom. I want freedom to pick what I get to do every day. I want to work from my pajamas. I want to throw my alarm clock out the window and never have to use it again.”
“I want to LOVE my work - I want to be obsessed with how passionate I am for what I get to do every single day. I want to wake up every morning, hopping out of bed itching to dive into my to-do list.”
Correct!
Wrong!
What sounds most appealing about potentially working as a Digital Business Manager?
Being able to work from anywhere, literally anywhere as long as I have wifi and my laptop!
Not going to lie - the $$$.
The task diversity so I don’t have to work on the same thing, every single day - I can be creative and analytical and switch between projects and tasks!
Working with people! I love the idea of managing teams and helping them do an incredible job.
Finally getting paid for my planning superpower 🙂
Eh, I'm not sure I'm that into the idea
Correct!
Wrong!
