I know that everyone has heard of the phrase, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” As cliche as it might sound, the meaning behind it is so important to be mindful of when developing your business, and it’s something that I really want to focus on in this episode. Starting your business is one thing, but over time as you grow and gain experience, things will start to change! You’ll realize new things about what you’re good at, what you enjoy doing, who you enjoy working with, and what your goals are. One thing you might come to discover is that you want your business to transition into an agency! That’s what happened to Gwendolyn Young, so I asked her to join us to talk about the three things she wishes she would have known throughout her journey of starting an agency. As we all know, life is more about the journey than the destination, and the same holds true for your business! If you’re thinking about starting your own agency, or if you’re a newbie to the agency-owner world, then you will definitely want to take notes on what Gwendolyn wishes she had known when she was you!
We talk about:
How and why Gwendolyn started her business
What you should know about sales and marketing
Being prepared for “the valley”
Transitioning from a solopreneur to an agency owner
