I’ve met a lot of 6 and 7-figure agency owners over the years and there’s always often a recurring theme…many are completely burned out, disgruntled OR they’ve sold or left the agency altogether.It’s probably the main reason I personally prefer the “small shop or studio” route as a solopreneur web designer with a lean and mean contractor team but at the same time, there’s value in truly creating a “business” in the form of an agency.But…are ALL agency owners burned out? No - despite meeting many owners who fit that profile, there are the exceptions. One is Greg Merriless of Studio1Design.com who’s been running his 7-figure agency for over a decade and most impressively is one of the few who is NOT burned out! Maybe it’s his chill, Aussie presence or maybe it’s how intentional he was about building an agency that is profitable, sustainable and geared around the work he WANTS to do in house.We cover a lot in this one including:How his 7-figure agency began getting high-profile clientsHow to focus on your core services (and hire out the rest)How to build partnerships with agencies who you can collaborate withHow to find and hire a teamStaying profitable (even as a team of 20+ employees)And more.Honestly, how amazing is it that through this podcast, you and I can learn from multi-7 figure agency owners who literally share exactly how they’ve built and scaled their business?!?!? It’s just too cool. I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did.Get all links and resources mentioned along with a full transcription at:https://joshhall.co/330View all Web Design Business Podcasts with show notes and full transcriptions at: https://joshhall.co/podcastGet my quote, contract & invoice templates (for free) with a 7-day trial of 17hats, the CRM I've been using for over 10 years!👉 Start my 7-day free trial
