I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how my communities operate… What’s working. What’s not. Where people get stuck. And how to actually help agency owners build something real, not just consume content. So I'm making a shift. The Goal: Simplicity + Results No fluff. No guru nonsense. No bloated programs you never finish. Just systems that help you: - Get clients - Build momentum - Actually grow an agency This change is about streamlining, refining, and expanding, all at the same time. What’s Staying (Free Tier) If you’re in the free group, nothing is being taken away. You still get: - Monthly Training Calls - Weekly Q&A Sessions - Inbound Authority System - 120 Day Planning Course That foundation isn’t changing. What’s New? Instead of splitting everything across multiple groups… I’m bringing it all into one ecosystem with optional upgrades depending on where you’re at. Premium — $37/month or $299/year For those ready to move faster and go deeper: - GBP Profit Playbook - Weekly Training Calls - Maximizing LinkedIn Course - The Agency Operating System (AOS) - Prospecting Playbook Course This is where things start turning into systems and execution. VIP — $79/month or $597/year For those who want direct access and real support: - Monthly Small Group Coaching Calls - Monthly 1-on-1 Call - Access to ALL Courses - Agency SOPs This is where we go from learning to implementation and accountability. Why This Change? Because most people don’t need more information… They need: - Structure - Direction - Systems that actually work This will make it much easier for me to manage. And splitting everything across different places was slowing down content creation, course building and my focus. This fixes that. What This Means Going Forward One community. Clear path to grow. Access to what you need at the level you want, when you need it. No confusion. No clutter. Just progress. If You’re Here… Stay plugged in. Show up to the calls. Use what’s already here.

Most agency owners I talk to are pretty clear on what they *sell*. But there's often a quiet gap between what goes on the proposal and what actually gets delivered smoothly on the back end. Maybe it's a service you added because a client asked and you didn't want to lose the deal. Maybe it's something you've been offering for years but you've never fully systematized, so every engagement feels like you're building the plane while flying it. Maybe it's a channel or tactic that keeps evolving faster than your team can keep up with, and you're constantly playing catch-up behind the scenes while projecting confidence to the client. This stuff rarely gets talked about openly because there's an unspoken pressure in the agency world to appear like you have everything dialed in. Admitting that a core service line is a grind to deliver or worse, that your margins on it are terrible because of how operationally chaotic it is, that feels like a vulnerability most people aren't willing to put on the table. But here's why I'm bringing it up: fulfillment struggles don't just eat your margins. They eat your team's morale, your client relationships, and eventually your reputation. And the longer you paper over it with hustle and goodwill, the more it becomes a structural problem rather than a fixable one. A lot of us are dealing with the same thing in different flavors, whether that's paid media management at scale, SEO deliverables, organic social, video production, web development, reporting, or something else entirely. And there's real value in knowing you're not alone, and maybe stumbling onto how someone else solved it. So here's the question: What is the one service your agency offers that you struggle most to fulfill consistently, and what makes it so hard to get right? Drop it below. Real answers only.

I want to talk about something most of us are too proud to admit is happening, burnout. Not the trendy kind where you take a beach day and post about "protecting your energy." The real kind. Where you sit down to work and feel genuinely hollow. Where client calls that used to energize you now feel like a tax on your nervous system. Where you're producing output but you stopped caring about it somewhere around six weeks ago and you're not sure exactly when. Running an agency is a specific kind of exhausting that most people outside this room don't understand. You're not just doing the work, you're selling the work, managing the people doing the work, fixing the work when it goes sideways, and somehow being the calm, confident face your clients expect while all of that is happening simultaneously. That's a heavy load to carry week after week without real recovery. Here's the framing I want to offer: burnout usually isn't a rest problem. It's a misalignment problem. Most agency owners I've seen hit a wall aren't burned out from working too hard, they're burned out from working hard on the wrong things for too long. The wrong clients. The wrong services. The wrong version of their business that they built for someone else's definition of success. Rest helps temporarily, but if you come back to the same misaligned structure, you'll be back in the same place in sixty days. So before you book a vacation or cut your hours, it's worth asking what specifically is draining you and whether it's workload or whether it's something structural you've been avoiding. That brings me to the accountability question for this week: What is one thing in your business right now that you know is draining you, a client, a service, a process, a commitment that you've been tolerating instead of addressing? And what's one concrete step you could take this week to start changing it? You don't have to have the full solution. You just have to stop pretending the thing isn't there. The owners who build sustainable agencies aren't superhuman. They're just more honest about what's not working and faster to act on it than everyone else.

There once was a client in the remodeling niche, who did great work, had great reviews and had plenty of satisfied clients. He had an agency running everything, website, lead gen, GBP things were going great… Then things went south! His lead gen wasn’t working or so it seemed… The client sent the agency owner an angry email, followed up with 3 angry voicemails and demanded they have a frank discussion about this. He was preparing to pull everything. So, the agency owner scheduled a call for 9 am Monday morning, he rearranged his schedule to accommodate an angry client. He did some digging and found the problem. He gathered that intel on Sunday afternoon into a very detailed explanation, pointing directly to the problem and waited for Monday. Monday at 8:55 he was on Google meet because the client liked Google meet, he waited 9:00am, 9:05 am, 9:10 am waiting. At 9:13am he went to use the restroom. While he was away the client popped in. When the agency owner got back 3 minutes later the client proceeded to berate him for being tardy. He apologized and said let’s discuss what is happening.The client said they were not getting any leads at all, that they were wasting their money, and the agency wasn’t doing their job. HE RANTED FOR 11 MINUTES ON HOW BAD THE AGENCY SUCKED! At this point he had about had a stroke. Agency: “While I understand you are stressed about this and I empathize, I do not think A) you are thinking clearly or B) seeing the whole picture. I have done some digging and found a few things that may fix this” Client: “GREAT SPIN AND UPSELL” Agency: “If I may share my screen. I’ll show you some stuff. Can you see my screen?” Agency: “What we are looking at is your ad metrics. In the last 30 days you have had 11,000+ clicks on roughly a $900 ad spend, from those clicks you have had 124 form fills and 67 calls, so 191 direct consumer actions. That is $4.70 per lead which is killer for remodeling lead gen.” Client: “But they were shitty leads?”
