Building a Sustainable and Successful Agency - Jonathan Leafe

"...The further you look ahead, the faster you’ll get there, the straighter the line and the more predictable the journey will be. Honest! It makes sense. When I learned to fly, on take-off, my instructor told me to look at the end of the runway; that way you’ll avoid zig-zagging by over-correcting - great advice which I’ve had at the core of my agency-building journey and now my coaching career…”

M&A Secrets: An Insider’s View On How To Maximise Your Exit Value - Felix Velarde

I want to share some secrets that no normal agency acquirer will tell you. I’m doing this because I was an agency founder and CEO. I sold a bunch of agencies. I scaled a ton of agencies. Then I started buying agencies, and now I scale the ones we buy. And I wish I had known what I now know when I was building my first agency. So if you want to sell yours, you might find my story interesting.
