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

Starting Revenue:

$10k-$50k

Situation:

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. Hass was seriously considering going back to a 9–5 job.

Pain Points:

  • Constant Overwhelm: Drowning in work, stuck editing videos at 2 AM while clients ghost invoices.
  • Bottlenecked Operations: Every part of the business depended on him—if he didn’t do it, it didn’t get done.
  • Inconsistent Deal Flow: Tried new offers, tweaks, social posts, and even traveling to clients, but still struggled to land consistent deals.
  • Team Struggles: Freelancers never “just got it,” and managing them became a second full-time job.
  • Burnout & Doubt: Exhausted, questioning whether to shut it all down and wondering if the dream was even worth it anymore.

Outcome / What He Achieved:

  • Massive Revenue Growth: Scaled from $20K to $104K/month in less than a year.
  • Built a Scalable Team: Grew a 25+ person team across fulfillment, sales, and operations—removing himself from the day-to-day.
  • Removed from Production: Stepped out of content creation entirely—some clients are thrilled and he’s never even met them.
  • Business That Runs Without Him: Now operates a machine that grows even when he’s offline, not just a job that depends on him.
  • On Track for $200K/Month: Focuses on working on the business, not in it, paving the way for rapid, sustainable growth.
