About this listen
Summary:
You don’t hate agency life, you hate the decisions you made to survive it.
In this episode, I break down the two mistakes that quietly drain profit, destroy morale, and make agency ownership feel unbearable.
I’ve spent over 8 years building and operating a 50+ person agency, and I’ve paid a massive “idiot tax” learning these lessons the hard way. If you’re exhausted, buried in client requests, or wondering if this is even worth it anymore, this episode is for you.
Takeaways:
- Why “hopeful clients” outside your ICP quietly sabotage your profit and your team
- The hidden reason bad-fit clients always demand more and deliver less
- How fuzzy scopes train clients to expect unlimited work forever
- The exact moment when “being helpful” turns into scope creep and burnout
- Why combining bad-fit clients + no scope guarantees you’ll lose money
- The simple 3-month rule that protects your agency from bad bets
- The $0 change order that stops scope creep without awkward conversations
