Anyone’s up for starting our own agency?😊
Could be remote, and no, I am not joking.

I’m a project manager with a lot of experience and definitely feel like the industry needs much smaller agencies again. Would definitely be interested if you get something off the ground.

Hey, could you DM me? I can’t send you messages! 😊

I did this 5 years ago post post-COVID with three partners. One is still with me. Flexibility is great, navigating tax liability is a nightmare and you'll want to pay an accounting person part-time. When you start, you are getting clients...working the business...need more clients...working the business. Be prepared for deep fluxes in the ability to pay yourself. Figure out an MRR "product/service" to help pay the bills when that happens. Happy to chat. DM me if you want. Would I do it again? Eh...

Would love to chat!:)

Ok so to clarify.

I don’t have clients. I don’t have budget.

Yet I do believe everyone can start somewhere and honestly, to everyone laughing about concepts of clients. I am working full time, I have some ideas and some cool people from places small and big (as well as spotted some opportunities) I know here and there. Feel free to laugh yet I would rather start somewhere rather than complain all my life that it could be better. Or create value ourselves. 🤗

So if you are interested, happy to chat.
