What I'm working on RIGHT NOW to grow my business.
|
This time two years ago, I hit a sudden surge of growth I wasn't expecting. I got a lotta new clients, fast! Exciting! It took me a year too long to accept that I also needed to grow my team to take on the projects I was booking. I felt the quality of my work slip and my stress level rise as I attempted to meet the demands of the work I had booked for myself. I knew I could take on fewer projects, but to be honest that just DID NOT SEEM FUN! So I had to move to STEP 2 - Get More Team! I now have a few contractors that allow me to take on more clients, bigger projects, and deliver faster. So now I am working on Step 3 and 4 simultaneously: New here? I'm Devin LeeI optimize your offers by removing you as the bottleneck so you can serve more clients without sacrificing quality.Get a taste of what I do: π₯ Inbox Zero Hero πΊοΈ Work with me π¬ Say hi on LinkedIn Step 3: Revisiting my positioning.I hired the incredible Jamie Cox to help me with my positioning. We started with a Calibration Session to help me wrap my head around how to talk to the CEO's of Creative Agencies about the new level of work I am doing. That lead to an ever bigger project with Jamie - now she's helping me go even deeper on how I position my marketing and content, pricing and offers, client experience, business development, boundaries, and MORE. She always gives me SUPER actionable steps to take now, as well as Big Brain stuff to think about and work towards a year from now. I'm feeling more excited than ever about where my business is going and what it will look like in 2027. Step 4: Upgrading my systems.At the same time, I'm revamping the Systems in my own business. I reworked my entire onboarding process so it better supports my delivery and offboarding, my delivery is being tweaked, and Jamie is giving me a lot of great ideas on how to make my offboarding more robust, lead to longer lasting client relationships, and more repeat projects. Once I complete ALL of these steps... Step 1: Get more clients. Step 2: Get more team. Step 3: Revisit my positioning. Step 4: Upgrade my systems.β I'm sure I will need to start right back at the beginning again :) and so it goes! Enjoying this email? Forward it to a friend!

It took me a year too long to accept I needed more team. Please don't spend a year too long on your systems. Step 4 is the work I do for agency owners. I get inside your head, map how your work gets delivered, build the systems around it, and train your team until they can run it without you. So when you loop back around to Step 1 (and you will!), your business is ready for the next surge, and it won't knock you flat like mine did two years ago. If that's the step you're on, apply to work with me today. β

I have a theory about Monday.com π For years it felt like I saw them everywhere I went: Billboards, sponsored on Google searches, YouTube commercials, ETC. But ya know where I never saw Monday.com? Being used by my clients or talked about in my communities. At best, I would hear about it on a coffee chat. Someone would say they set it up but no one is really using it, OR it feels glitchy. Most of the tech experts / builders like myself that I know won't touch it with a 10-foot pole. So how is...
This email is specifically for my Dubsado users who are clinging to 2.0. Everyone else can just archive this email and wait patiently for my next one π (UNLESS! If you are considering Dubsado but aren't sure... reply to this email! I can help you decide.) Ok, just the Dub-heads left? Lessss go. If you have still been using 2.0 (I know! Change is hard!), you may have noticed that logging in now takes you straight to 3.0. Don't freak out!!!!! Yes, it looks a lot different. And YES - 3.0 was...
I talk about onboarding a lot. Like, a lot a lot. I tell myself its because "it's relatable!" Every agency onboards clients, and it looks about the same everywhere: a kickoff call and an onboarding form. I also talk a lot about how its your first impression - dazzle them at the beginning to start things off on the right foot. But I'm rebuilding my own onboarding right now, and I realized there is a deeper reason why Onboarding is CRUCIAL to get right. New here? I'm Devin Lee I optimize your...
