Ep. 22 - She Built a 9-Person Business in 4 Months—Then It Crashed. Here's Her Biggest Lesson ft. Nataleigh Elzein

Philip Khao/Nataleigh Elzein Season 1 Episode 22

In this episode, we have Nataleigh Elzein, a Business and Marketing Strategist, Fractional CMO, and Founder of Pinch Studios, who helps industry disruptors streamline their marketing, align their teams, and turn creative chaos into data-driven success.

Nataleigh shares how she built and lost a nine-person agency in four months—and the financial mistakes that caused its downfall, why hiring too late can be more damaging than hiring too early, and the mindset shift that helped her rebuild a profitable business from scratch.

She also talks about the difference between being a marketing agency vs. a strategic partner, how trusting your gut can save you from bad clients, why getting into the right rooms with the right people at the right time is one of the most powerful success hacks.

If you want to learn how to make smarter business decisions, build a resilient marketing strategy, and avoid the mistakes that can make or break your success, then make sure to listen to this episode!
