330 - Lessons from a 7-Figure Agency Owner (who's not burned out) with Greg Merrilees
Manage episode 422835218 series 2566484
I’ve met a lot of 6 and 7-figure agency owners over the years and there’s always often a recurring theme…many are completely burned out, disgruntled OR they’ve sold or left the agency altogether.
It’s probably the main reason I personally prefer the “small shop or studio” route as a solopreneur web designer with a lean and mean contractor team but at the same time, there’s value in truly creating a “business” in the form of an agency.
But…are ALL agency owners burned out? No - despite meeting many owners who fit that profile, there are the exceptions.
One is Greg Merriless of Studio1Design.com who’s been running his 7-figure agency for over a decade and most impressively is one of the few who is NOT burned out! Maybe it’s his chill, Aussie presence or maybe it’s how intentional he was about building an agency that is profitable, sustainable and geared around the work he WANTS to do in house.
We cover a lot in this one including:
How his 7-figure agency began getting high-profile clients
How to focus on your core services (and hire out the rest)
How to build partnerships with agencies who you can collaborate with
How to find and hire a team
Staying profitable (even as a team of 20+ employees)
And more.
Honestly, how amazing is it that through this podcast, you and I can learn from multi-7 figure agency owners who literally share exactly how they’ve built and scaled their business?!?!? It’s just too cool. I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did.
