There was a point when I realized something uncomfortable: Most of my conversations weren’t helping me or my agency grow. They were full of problem-solving, not vision. Updates, not breakthroughs. Busy talk, not progress talk. And it hit me: Your growth is limited by the quality of conversations you’re in. You see, if you’re always talking about [...]
Here’s a hard truth: Every agency owner eventually hits a ceiling. That point where you’ve tried everything you know and you’re still not moving forward. When I hit mine, I assumed I needed to learn more. So I dove into new courses, new frameworks, even new tools. But soon enough, I realized what I actually needed wasn’t [...]
I’ll confess. Every major breakthrough I’ve had in agency came after stepping into a new room. Not a physical room necessarily… But a room full of people who were already playing at a higher level. See, your environment shapes your decisions, ambition, and even speed as an agency owner. You can read all the books, watch all [...]

There was a point in my journey where I thought the biggest factor in success was effort. If I worked harder… Stayed up later… And pushed longer than every other agency owner… I’d win, right? And for a while, I did. But eventually, I realized effort has limits…But environment doesn’t. What do I mean? You can only [...]
When you started your agency, you said yes to almost everything, right? After all, every project looked promising… Every client felt like a big deal… And every opportunity seemed like the one that might change everything. That “say yes to everything” energy is what gets most agencies off the ground. But it’s also what burns out so [...]
Here’s the thing about running an agency with someone close to you—a spouse, partner, or senior leader: It’s easy to let communication default to logistics. “What’s on the calendar?” “Did we pay that invoice?” “Who’s handling this agency client?” That is, you end up managing tasks instead of aligning on vision. But there’s danger in that. If [...]
If you’ve been running an agency for more than a few years… You’ve seen just how fast this industry moves. Five years ago, you only needed a few things to keep your agency clients loyal for years. Think things like having a decent website, some SEO, and a retargeting campaign. …But not anymore. Today’s clients are smarter, [...]
Agency growth. Like many agency owners, I initially thought it was all about adding more. More projects… More clients… More tools… More meetings… That’s why every time the agency hit a plateau, my instinct was to pile something new on top. Maybe a new offer or campaign, even another system. Doing so felt like progress. But after [...]
Let’s talk about one of the hardest parts of running an agency with someone else: Making big decisions together. I’ve seen this over and over again: Two smart, capable people who share the same vision… But get stuck in disagreement over how to get there. The truth? It’s rarely about ego. Most of the time, it’s about [...]
