Situation

Gina’s agency in California started as a one-woman show — no team, no systems, and no structure — just her juggling every client, deliverable, and late-night task. After building and exiting a multi-million-dollar e-commerce brand, she knew the pain of scaling without systems: endless chaos, burnout, and wasted time. Determined not to repeat history, she joined Agency U to build her second business the right way — with real systems, processes, and people. In less than eight months, Gina went from near-zero revenue to $80K/month, scaling to a 12-person team running entirely inside Notion. With streamlined workflows and complete operational clarity, she now spends her days leading, creating, and being fully present for her kids — all while running a calm, system-driven agency that scales without her.

Pain Points

• Running everything manually again — managing clients, deliverables, and team members with no clear system.
• Feeling like growth meant sacrificing personal time and sanity (missing moments with her kids).
• Wasting hours testing tools that didn’t integrate or scale properly.
• Struggling to find and train reliable team members who could operate without her constant supervision.
• Seeing her expertise go under-monetized because operations, not vision, consumed her day.

Outcome / What They Achieved

• Scaled from $0 → $80,000/month in just 8 months.
• Grew from 1 person to a 12-person team — fully systemized inside Notion with clear workflows.
• Saved thousands of dollars by implementing proven ad frameworks and systems instead of trial-and-error.
• Regained 10+ hours per week of personal time — now volunteers at her kids’ school and works with peace of mind.
• Built a repeatable, scalable infrastructure that lets her focus on strategy and leadership — not daily chaos.
