Staying In Control Of The Direction Of Your Agency
Manage episode 298069833 series 2819363
Why do so many agency owners aspire to build an agency that is less dependent on them (i.e a self-running agency) but completely fail?
They end up building a business that they work for (instead of working for them) with the worst boss in the world!
So in this episode of The Agency Accelerator Podcast, I explore how to ensure you build an agency on your own terms: one that you stay in control of and one that ultimately could be running itself.
