If your agency has hit a plateau… this might be a tough listen.
In this episode of The Agency Diaries, Kate and Laura unpack one of the most uncomfortable truths in agency growth:
The thing holding your agency back… might be you.
From being in every client call, every email thread, and every decision, to learning how (and when) to step back, this episode is an honest look at what it really means to move from doing the work to leading the business.
Because scaling isn’t just about more clients. It’s about founder evolution.
What we cover:
- Why most agencies stall at the 3 to 8 person mark
- The hidden comfort in control (and why it’s dangerous)
- The moment you realise you’ve become the bottleneck
- Why founders struggle to let go, even when they need to
- The balance between caring deeply and controlling everything
- What happens when your team is actually better than you (yes, really)
This episode isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about going from spinning too many plates and inbox overwhelm to learning to trust your team, sitting in the discomfort of letting go, and building a business that doesn’t rely on you for everything
If you’ve ever thought “it would just be easier if I did it myself”…
This one’s for you.
