The traditional agency business model is broken. It isn’t the model that will get you to where you’re trying to go. It is broken because it scales complexity. By its very nature, everything is unique. The traditional agency business model, we call it "Digital Yes Men". If the client asks for it, the agency provides it. https://www.zenpilot.com/manifesto *** More Information *** Want to learn more about ZenPilot? https://www.zenpilot.com Want to join the Agency Journey Insiders group on Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/groups/agencyjourneyinsiders Want to see how your agency revenue lines up with industry benchmarks? https://www.zenpilot.com/benchmark Want to learn the EXACT process we use to help marketing agencies implement processes and systems they need to scale without reinventing the wheel? https://www.zenpilot.com/freedom

The traditional digital agency model is broken. Time and time again it has failed to deliver the freedom that agency owners had hoped it would. Instead of finding freedom, owners are constantly pulled back into the business because every situation is unique. As a result, all their time, resources, and creative energy are spent putting out client fires, keeping team morale in check, and maintaining the status quo. Most agency owners have no freedom over how they spend their time. The Agency Freedom Manifesto is the way out.

With the new year upon us, most agency owners are charting out their list of goals for the coming year. For most, these goals are a list of things they'd "like" to happen.

It can be easy to grab shinny goals like "Going for Diamond!" or "Hit $50,000 a month!" and make them your rallying cry, but Gray and Andrew caution you to think deeply about that goals you select. Goals drive your activity. Make sure you're focusing on the key things that matter most, the essential things that when accomplished will turn your "wishlist" into a list of much welcomed side effects. *** More Information *** Want to learn more about ZenPilot?https://www.zenpilot.com Want to join the Agency Journey Insiders group on Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/groups/agencyjourneyinsiders/ Want to see how your agency revenue lines up with industry benchmarks? https://www.zenpilot.com/benchmark Want to learn the EXACT process we use to help marketing agencies im
