You’re not the only one…

If you think about the new year, you’re probably thinking about new plans for your agency: …How can I outperform last year? …How can I secure more clients? These are all good questions to consider…but I find that a lot of my students assume they’re the ONLY ones grappling with these questions. In other words…they […]
New Year’s Resolutions

…Have you made any yet? I don’t think there’s ever been a more important year to take stock + set intentions for the months ahead. Obviously, the world is an ever-changing place and we will never not be contending with circumstances outside our control (if 2020 has taught us anything, lol). But, my #1 takeaway […]
Reinventing the wheel? Try this instead

Most new business owners make the mistake of believing they need to “reinvent the wheel” in order to be successful. But, this couldn’t be further from the truth. There are plenty of people who run successful businesses based on a model or template. The purest example of this is a franchise – you purchase your […]
Advice From A Children’s Book

Every night, I sit down with my kids to read a bedtime story. And last night, my daughter picked out the book (it was something about cars by the actor/wrestler John Cena, of all people lol). When we got to the last page of the book, there was a quote: “If you always do what […]
What happens when you have too many ideas?

If you ever feel “stuck” with your agency…is it because you can’t come up with an idea? As digital marketers, we don’t struggle with finding ideas… In fact, it’s usually the opposite. We’re such resourceful, creative thinkers, that we have TOO MANY ideas. I was doing some onboarding training with a new member of the […]
The “right” people vs. the “right” idea

Which do you think is the more important ingredient for success — the idea or the people? I had a very unique interaction last week that has caused me to see this question in a whole different light… So, I was cleaning out my agency office for a move. As I was loading boxes into my […]

Motivating Factors

Do you know what motivates the decisions you make with your agency? It might not be as clear-cut as you think. Recently, I was reflecting on the processes I use to make choices in my own life…and I started thinking about my Jeep. My Jeep has a manual transmission. When I first tell people this, […]
Achieving Flow State

If you look back at the timeline of running your agency… When was your most productive flow state? We all know what flow states feel like. They’re those times when ideas feel so easy to implement… …when work feels fun… …and everything seems to be speeding along like a Ferrari in the fast lane. In […]
Play to your strengths

This is such an important rule to follow when running your agency. So often, we get caught up in what we think we “should” be doing… When instead, we could be finding solutions that complement our talents. I have been thinking about this phrase a lot — “play to your strengths” — since a recent […]
