From a Garage Freelancer to 100k/mo Studio Owner | FULL Story

Offer
Systems
Video Agency

Most agency owners are trapped. They started with big dreams but now find themselves stuck in the grind—working out of cramped garages, saying yes to every project just to survive, and constantly juggling every role in the business. Creativity once fueled them, but now it's buried under late nights, missed family time, and burnout. They know they're capable of more, but they don’t know how to break free from being the bottleneck in their own business. Every day they delay, they risk burning out or staying stuck in mediocrity.

Before
  • Glorified Freelancer Syndrome: You're the editor, the shooter, the sales rep, the client manager... and you're drowning in it all.
  • Custom Chaos: Every offer is different, making it impossible to scale, productize, or predict cash flow.
  • Order Taker Trap: Clients dictate your process, making you look like every other agency and racing you to the bottom on price.
  • System-less Struggle: No project management, no automation, just whiteboards and your brain trying to hold it all together.
  • Burning Out Alone: No community, no guidance, no clarity—just long days, missed moments, and a business that collapses without you.

After
  • $100K+/Month Revenue: From garage freelancer to running a high-performing, scalable studio with consistent revenue.
  • Time Freedom: Able to take a full month off with family in Colombia—no loss in business, no emergencies.
  • Team of 11: Built a powerhouse team and systems so solid, the business runs without constant oversight.
  • Productized Offer: Clear, outcome-driven offer that attracts premium clients and repels price-shoppers.
  • Growth Clarity: Crystal clear roadmap for hiring, scaling, and growing sustainably—no more guessing or reacting.

How This Content Agency Went From $8K/Month to $30K/Month In 3 Months

Social Media Management
Systems
Offer

Gabrielle launched her content agency with a strong creative skill set, fueled by word-of-mouth referrals and raw talent. But what started as a passion project quickly became overwhelming. She was wearing every hat in the business—burning out on 18-hour days, micromanaging team members, and stuck in a cycle of saying “yes” to everything just to stay afloat. She knew she had hit a ceiling. No systems. No scalable offer. No predictable growth.

Before
  • Burnout from wearing every hat: Gabrielle was doing everything—sales, fulfillment, client success, operations—leaving her exhausted and stuck in place.
  • Zero backend systems: Tasks were scattered, team members were unclear on roles, and deadlines were constantly missed.
  • No scalable offer or pricing structure: Each project felt like starting from scratch, making it impossible to grow revenue predictably.
  • Reliance on inconsistent referrals: With no sales pipeline or authority funnel, growth depended solely on word-of-mouth—unreliable and slow.
  • Paralyzing imposter syndrome: She didn’t feel confident pitching her packages or charging premium rates because results weren’t guaranteed.

After
  • 3x revenue growth in 90 days: Jumped from $8K/month to $30K/month in retainer revenue.
  • Reclaimed her time: Built a full backend operating system and delegated clearly-defined roles to her team—freeing up her day-to-day.
  • Premium offer and pricing confidence: Implemented an outcome-driven “Authority Funnel” that delivers client results—and justifies higher rates.
  • Nationwide client acquisition: Went from local, word-of-mouth work to remote, nationwide packages with scalable delivery systems.
  • Award-winning campaigns and industry recognition: Won a 2024 Markham Gold Award for ROI-driven client work fueled by the new systems and funnels.

From $20k to $100K/mo | How this BURNT-OUT agency owner built an agency that runs without him

Systems
Video Agency

Hass was on the brink of shutting down his agency. Burnt out, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle of traveling nonstop to shoot content, he was exhausted and directionless. Despite working nonstop, the clients weren’t coming in consistently, and the pressure to do everything himself was crushing. He had the skill, but not the systems, and the dream was starting to feel like a nightmare. How was seriously considering going back to a 9–5 job.

Before
  • You feel like you’re drowning in work, stuck editing videos at 2AM while clients ghost your invoices.
  • You’re the bottleneck in every part of the business—if you don’t do it, it doesn’t get done.
  • You’ve tried offers, tweaks, social posts, and even flying out to clients—but still struggle to land consistent deals.
  • You keep hiring freelancers, but they never "just get it"—and managing them becomes a second job.
  • You’re exhausted, considering shutting it all down, and asking yourself, “Is this even worth it anymore?”

After
  • Scaled from $20K to $104K/month in revenue—in less than a year.
  • Built a 25+ person team to handle fulfillment, sales, and operations—so he doesn’t have to.
  • Fully removed himself from production—some clients are happy and he’s never even met them.
  • Now operates a business that grows even when he’s offline, not just a job that depends on him.
  • On track for $200K/month while working ON the business, not IN it.

Andrew was stuck in agency limbo — overworked, underpaid, and directionless. Making $15K–$20K a month, he was essentially a glorified in-house marketer for real estate teams, juggling a chaotic mix of services with no real structure, no scalable offer, and no freedom. There were no systems, no team, and no room to grow — just burnout and busywork. Every day felt like a loop: editing videos, updating websites, running ads, and hoping something would stick.

Before
  • Stuck in “freelancer purgatory” — doing everything for clients without a scalable offer or clear boundaries
  • Saying yes to the wrong clients who drained time, energy, and morale
  • Service delivery was a mess with no repeatable backend, no systems, and no real operational infrastructure
  • Always working in the business instead of on it — no time freedom, no strategic thinking
  • Revenue capped around $15K–$20K/month with no clear path to growth

After
  • Scaled from $15K to $120K/month, with consistent six-figure months
  • Built a 20+ person team with defined pods, roles, and a focus on scale
  • Removed himself from fulfillment entirely and fully stepped into the CEO role
  • Developed clear, three-tiered service packages built for scalability and higher margins
  • Built a systemized, sustainable operation that supports long-term growth and client retention

How This Agency Hits $50K/Mos w/out Burning Out

Video Agency

Agency life used to feel like a constant scramble — chasing clients, staying up all night editing, and barely scraping by. As a self-proclaimed agency owner, I was really just a glorified freelancer, doing everything myself and hoping each month would work out. There was no leverage, no consistency, and no confidence in the results I could deliver. I’d get a few retainers here and there, but I always felt one client drop away from panic mode. Worse, I felt like I couldn’t scale because I was stuck being the technician — not the CEO.

Before
  • Inconsistent income between $10K–$20K/month, often feeling like I was begging for jobs.
  • No scalable offer — just shooting videos and hoping they went viral.
  • Clients dropped off because organic strategies didn’t deliver consistent results.
  • No systems, no backend, and constant burnout trying to do it all myself.
  • Stuck in freelancer mode — never felt like a true business owner.

After
  • Hit $45K in a single month and now consistently earning $20K–$30K/month.
  • Built a team of 12 editors, removing myself from 95% of fulfillment.
  • Closed deals more confidently with guaranteed lead-gen offers, not vague “video work.”
  • Built backend systems for onboarding, content delivery, and client success — increasing retention and upsells.
  • Gained clarity and confidence to scale to $50K/month+ without burning out or constantly reinventing the wheel.
