In this episode, I'm sharing a fast and furious list of the 10 Things Successful Agency Owners Have in Common (plus a couple bonus tips too).
Between my three different coaching programs, where I'm working with close to 100 different agency owners at all different stages in their journey, I've been able to see first hand the commonalities that set successful agency owners apart.
1 - Mastering Delegation: Successful agency owners practice the art of delegation, understanding that they can't do everything themselves.
2 - Handling Tough Conversations: They may not enjoy it, but they don't shy away from difficult discussions, knowing that addressing issues early prevents bigger problems later.
3 - Prioritizing Effectively: They focus on what's truly important and avoid getting sidetracked by tasks that may not be necessary at the moment.
4 - Staying on Top of Your Numbers: Knowing their numbers is crucial for maintaining profitability and making informed decisions.
5 - Balancing Work and Personal Life: Having hobbies and interests outside of their business makes them better CEOs by providing fresh perspectives.
6 - Being Proactive, Not Reactive: Anticipating needs and planning ahead helps them avoid "Oh crap" moments and stay ahead of the curve.
7 - Consistent Marketing and Sales: They make lead generation and sales activities a non-negotiable part of their routine.
8 - Learning to Say No: They understand the importance of setting boundaries to focus on what truly matters for their business and personal life.
9 - Their Team is Now Their Clients: They shift their focus from client support to team support, recognizing that a well-supported team will take good care of clients.
10 - They Don't Major in the Minors: They don't sweat the small stuff and allow minor issues to derail their focus or their business.
BONUS TIP #1 - Embracing Failure as a Lesson: They view failures as opportunities for improvement rather than a closed door.
BONUS TIP #2 - Decisiveness: They aren't afraid to make decisions, understanding that indecision can be more harmful than making an imperfect choice.
I hope this list resonates with you and helps you identify areas where you can align your actions and mindset with those of successful agency owners. Let me know which traits you connect with the most by reaching out on Instagram at @thetashabooth.
