(52:22) Key Quotes: “I think that a lot of people get into our industry lose sight of the history.” - Aaron Gordon “If you're authentic and you do you, it'll come through, you just have to be super consistent.” - Aaron Gordon “I think that there's something envious about looking at a business and building your structure, your operations, your processes, your tech, forming your ideal client, by the way, based on solely your vision. For me, a lot of the things that I do are clouded for lack of a better term by our already ideal client, already existing client.” - Aaron Gordon Resources Mentioned: Visit our website to join our email list, get the scoop on our LIVE coaching calls and never miss an episode: https://www.agencyfreedom.com Connect with Agency Freedom Podcast on Facebook at the Agency Freedom Podcast group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/agencyfreedom Email us at [email protected] with ideas, questions, complaints or your favorite grilling recipe.
