Ep 44: 3 Reasons Why Your Agency Will Never Hit $1M / Year
Key Takeaways
- Your agency’s growth ceiling is usually internal, not market-driven.
- Reason #3: Implicit or vague core values create cultural drift and inconsistent delivery. Make them explicit and decision-shaping.
- Reason #2: Chasing revenue without financial visibility leads to fragile or negative margins—treat money like a CEO.
- Reason #1: You are often the bottleneck; if everything flows through you, the business can’t scale.
- Concrete fixes: codify values, build a real P&L dashboard, document SOPs, create role scorecards, and train the team to own decisions.
- Sustainable scale is about removing blockers, not piling on more work.
