A surprising discovery I didn’t expect…
Starting my own agency wasn't a novel idea; I’ve worked at several startups and previously attempted this with a business partner (that was a big FAIL, which I will talk about another time). I knew it would be challenging to start my own agency, on my own, and that I would have to navigate many unknowns.
What I didn't anticipate was how my journey would unfold. I've had to embrace an uncertain path and trust the process, something I never thought I could do.
For example, I thought I would be GREAT at helping startups with their eCom and generate great ROI. I mean, I did spend all this time helping sell movies, cars, games, ads, and even Johnson’s Baby. I do know how to sell some sh$t.
But nope, no dice.
It turns out that what I’ve been drawn to is service-based businesses. It's given me a real love of advertising again. I was really burned out and felt defeated by the corporate hamster wheel.
So, what I learned is…I like helping actual people! I feel connected to them. It is much easier to develop incredible brands and marketing campaigns for real-life people and the amazing services they provide.
I honestly didn’t even know this was a path that I could take. By being open to what came my way, I was able to have this path emerge before me.
And I’m running full speed down this path.
