Have your cake and eat it too—run your agency, keep your sanity

chrisfree

You've "made it." You've grown your freelance practice into a bonafied digital agency. You have great employees, happy clients, steady revenue, etc. You (the captain of this ship) are running a successful agency by almost any measure, so why do things feel so chaotic? Why do you feel so stressed? Why are short-term needs always taking priority over strategic plans?

If you're anything like me (from just a short time ago), you've made yourself a linchpin to any and everything at your company. You're involved in just about everything your company touches. It's a lot. Maybe, like me, you work yourself to the bone to make sure the company succeeds. Failure is not an option. Your friends might even call you a "workaholic". You're always "on", always ready in case there is a fire that needs putting out. You save the day often, in fact, most of your time these days is spent saving the day...

If this sounds at all familiar, then this session is for you. I'll teach you how to regain control, to prioritze and delegate your tasks, and to get out of the trenches so that you can get back to doing your job: running the company.

Learning Objectives

  • How to focus on the strategic over the tactical.
  • How to prioritize your own mental health.
  • How to build a great team that you can trust.

Target Audience

The ideal attendee is someone who is either running their own digital agency or looking to make that leap from freelancer to agency owner. Anyone interested in running a digital business would find this session helpful.
