Get a client as a freelancer. Do an amazing job. Get a few more clients. Keep doing consistently great work. Start finding your unique strengths and special skills.

Refine who that customer is. Keep getting another customer until you have more work than you can personally handle yourself—and that you’re charging enough with recurring and predictable revenue that you can afford help. Start small—part time or freelancers vs FTE. Keep building, keep growing. Don’t rush. You’ll avoid a ton of headaches and mistakes if you scale smart.

An agency is not a get rich quick scheme, and running one can’t be taught in a book or course.
