Publisher's summary

You started your agency to have more freedom. But now you work way too many hours, and you can’t find a way to scale and maintain profitability at the same time. You’re tired of attracting the wrong clients or of offering a service that’s treated like a commodity.

The agency that was once your passion has become a relentless cycle of never-ending demands.

Stop spinning your wheels and trading time for money. The Agency Owner's Guide to Freedom will show you how to:

• Manage your time so you can work on your business rather than in your business
• Create systems so you can duplicate yourself and start earning more and working less
• Transition from being a hustler or subject expert into becoming the CEO of your agency
• Develop a minimum viable solution, so your agency is more efficient and you offer a clearer value proposition to your clients
• Define your ideal client and test your messaging, so your marketing and sales efforts are more effective
• Get the qualified, booked appointments you want
• Attract, recruit, train, and retain the right people, so your agency grows into an organization

The Agency Owner’s Guide to Freedom is about more than just growing your agency and making money. Revenue growth is great, of course. But what the author really wants is for business owners to see the potential within themselves. To see them begin to exercise their agency—their power—to transform themselves, their lives, and their businesses.

Everything starts with you, even in business. To get to where you want to be, you have to grow past the current version of yourself. To grow your agency, you have to grow as a person first.

If you’re looking for a magic solution without effort or you’re not ready to step outside your comfort zone and put in consistent, imperfect action, The Agency Owner’s Guide to Freedom is probably not for you.

But if you do the work outlined here, you will experience a transformation. You’ll become a leader. You’ll be able to align your mindset, systems, and people with your vision of what your marketing agency can be.

This audiobook is a manual for how to create that transformation. The Agency Owner’s Guide to Freedom will give you the clarity and confidence to create the life and business you want.

You’ll do all this in a way that’s aligned with your vision and authentic to yourself. And you won’t need to overwork, risk burning out, or sacrifice the quality of the services you deliver.

Critic reviews

“Working with Jesse allowed me to make it through a challenging, but rewarding [first] six months including repackaging our services, firing that new employee, hiring four others, losing a key contractor, putting together a formal training program and growing our business by over 400%... I highly recommend working with him!” (Warren Thompson, co-founder and managing director, Ollo Metrics)

"As I’ve worked with Jesse, I’ve improved my business behind the scenes, booked more work, and have recently made my first agency hire. I’m on a path of growth and profitability, and have made sure all my processes are now documented to share with my team. I’ve also been able to spend more time with my boys, which maybe is the most important benefit of all!” (Mike Richwalsky, principal, Gas Mark 8, Ltd.)

"Through his expertise in mindset, systems, and people, Jesse has created a lifeline for many agency owners. His dedication to bringing freedom to their lives and businesses is not only admirable, it’s transformative.” (Joey Gilkey, CEO, Apex Revenue)

No fluff, clear, actionable direction

Jesse P. Gilmore clearly put thought and effort into the organization and delivery of the information in this book. I’m using those words specifically because the content isn’t anything you’ve never heard before. But that’s the point. I think most business owners in my position know what to do but lack the clarity and guidance on exactly when and how to do it. Jesse provides a clear roadmap that removes the fluff entrepreneur-porn rah rah and gets straight to what it takes to succeed in the agency space. Great job, Jesse.
