Online Business Collective
An ongoing group coaching program helping you double your monthly income while working part-time hours in your business.
For online business owners who just want to know exactly what they need to do to grow their business, step-by-step.
You’re a creative, passionate online business owner. The kind that always has loads of ideas, but there never seems to be enough time in the day to get them out into the world.
And you're ready.
Ready to help more people.
Ready to make more money.
But at the same time, you don’t want to risk burning yourself out or losing the success you’ve worked so hard to create.
And you 100% do NOT believe that the only way to succeed is by being willing to do things that don’t feel like YOU, just because they work for other people.
Inside the Online Business Collective, we look at smarter ways to make more money without working more hours
The Online Business Collective is broken down into a 6-Part Learn and implement Framework to Help You SucceED
GROUP COACHING
Results-focused group coaching led by me - you'll tell me your problem, block, worry and then help you refocus on the outcome you want, and how you’re going to get there. Also a chance to brainstorm ideas with other talented business owners.
MASTERCLASSES & COURSES
Expert Masterclasses and Courses all designed to help you make more money in your business, without increasing your working hours.
90-DAY PLANNING
A 90-day planning and accountability cycle to help you develop your business in a manageable, sustainable way, one change at a time.
I'LL HELP YOU DETERMINE WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE FOR YOU...
The Online Business Collective isn’t a prescription to be methodically followed.
It’s not about achieving some arbitrary income goal.
Or following a step-by-step guide to someone else’s version of success.
You decide what you want to do and I’ll support you to make it happen.
"Since joining OBC I have learnt so much from Ruth and feel that my business is growing in the right direction. The support has been amazing and I feel that if I have any questions or need input I can just go into the group and ask. I have no business or social media background so having this kind of support makes all the difference to me. Definitely my best investment during the pandemic!"

It was the best decision I’ve made to work with Ruth. I have complete clarity on what I offer, the most supportive network of female entrepreneurs, AND I have gone from 1 client last year to being fully booked, thanks to Ruth.

A roadmap to help you achieve your goals
When you join the Online Business Collective you will gain access to a library of masterclasses and courses you can turn to when you have a question, or are ready to take the next step. Pick what you want, when you need it.
The roadmap gently guides you through how you can help more people, make more money, and look after your wellbeing at the same time. Whatever you want your life to look like, you can create it here with the resources and support you need.
STEP 1: 90-day goal and business planning
Every 90-days, I host a live planning call to help you set your goals and priorities for the months ahead.
When you're busy running your business, it can feel like you're running on a treadmill going nowhere (rather than conquering that mountain you intended to climb).
When you complete the 90-day masterclass, you are allowing yourself to get off the treadmill and reset the clock.
Then you can identify the resources that will help you reach your goals. Remove the "shoulds" on focus on building the business you want. And implement whilst you learn and move towards your 90-day plan.
Goal setting sessions run live every quarter and are also available to catch up on anytime.
Design your dream lifestyle
How are you feeling? Happy and contented or frazzled and wishing you had more time for yourself? What do you want your life to look like? Having reset the clock, this is your opportunity to design your dream lifestyle.
Running and growing a business is challenging so use the supportive private Facebook group, coaching calls, live masterclass sessions, live accountability sessions, weekly goals and to create positive habits to look after yourself. There's something happening every week inside the OBC to help support and moving towards your goals.
Here’s an example of some of the masterclasses:
- Mindset Management For Business Growth from Dr Kathrine MacAleess

Hello
I'm Ruth Gilbey
A QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED COACH, AND A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS OWNER, AND I KNOW YOU DESERVE BETTER.
I’ve helped 100s of women transform their business from time-consuming disappointments into thriving and rewarding sources of satisfaction.
I've mastered the art of running an online business, cracked the code on making more money in fewer hours, and perfected the creation of the business I wanted.
I’ve combined my 20 years of behind-the-scenes experience and my drive for work that lights me UP to map out each step in the blueprint that will take you from overwhelmed and struggling for clients, to business savvy and booked solid.
The Online Business Collective is about you setting and reaching the goals that are right for YOU right now in YOUR business

Results- Focussed Coaching And Support
I host a live call each week. Each one has its own focus and will help you work on your business. This is usually on Tuesday at 1pm (London time), however I offer different times based on the needs of the group.
Two of these calls each month are Q&A drop-in sessions. You’re welcome to come and watch, or ask your questions so you can unlock your next stage of progress.
Twice a month this call is an Eat The Frog session where we commit to one task that’s been put off for far too long and complete it in that hour. Come along and get it done!
And the Online Business Collective Facebook group is available 24/7 for you to ask for input, share your triumphs, and connect with others who are also eagerly working towards growing their business.
I’m here to spark and nurture your ideas, then support you and hold you accountable as you turn them into a reality. I don’t give you the answers. I help you find your own.
I’m here to reassure you that you’re on the right track and to help you identify the signals that indicate your plans are coming together.
I’ll hear you out then help you re-focus on what you want instead and how you’re going to get there - that’s how results-focussed coaching works.
"The Online Business Collective is my go-to place to share the highs and lows of running a business. Since being a member, my business, without a doubt, has grown in ways that I wouldn’t have thought possible before joining. The combined expertise of all the members means there’s always someone to help talk your ideas through. If you’re stuck there’s a supportive shoulder to lean on when things get tough. I’d be lost without my Online Business Collective ladies."
SUSAN TRUSELER PHOTOGRAPHY
The OBC has helped me focus on growing my business. Before I joined I was focusing 100% of my clients and not investing time or energy in growing and developing my business. Ruth has given me the confidence to talk about my business more openly on social media and given me ideas for income streams. I really value time to apply new ways of doing things in my business. The Facebook group is very valuable especially the Friday wins section, which as I work on my own, helps me start the weekend on a high. No matter how bad a week I have had, things have always been achieved and progressed.
KERRY HALL - SUMMIT CONSULTING
Before joining the OBC I was plodding along on my own, without direction and focus for my business. I knew I needed more self-belief. I also needed someone to turn to when I had questions, problems, or needed a second opinion. After joining the OBC I no longer feel alone. I’m now part of a great support team of fellow business owners. Ruth is a brilliant motivator and gives amazing advice. I have more belief in my abilities and what I can achieve. I’m much more clear on my goals and I now have the information, resources and support to get there.
