A friend who got fired from his last job told him how excited he was about starting his agency.
He was proud of how he will never have to deal with a boss ever again.
But now he’s struggling trying to get and keep business— and he’s flat broke.
I told him that if you thought having one boss was tough, try having 5 bosses.
And it’s WAY easier to fire you as an agency than an employee.
So think about why you’re starting your agency.
If you’re doing it to run AWAY from something, you may find you’ve accidentally gotten 5X more of that very thing you hate.
But if you’re running TOWARDS something, because of a bigger mission, then you’ll find you can multiply that vision like was never possible as an employee.
