How She Handles the Unexpected Upsides to Building an Agency

01/20/22 • 20 min

The transition from solopreneur to agency owner is ... a lot, to say the least. It can be really scary, but it can also be really rewarding. And as long as you stay grounded and follow your dream, you’ll find yourself living the high life in no time.

That’s exactly what happened with this week's guest Kari Roberts. Kari knew it was time for a pivot, so after completing she finished working with me in one program, she immediately enrolled in Agency Thrivemind – my 12-month program for those looking to start, grow, and scale agency model businesses. And that’s where Kari & Co was born!

Kari and her team provide virtual and back-end tech assistants for coaches and creatives. In this week’s episode, Kari and I discuss her pivot into agency ownership and how she’s settling into her new role.

This Week We Talk About:

When she knew it was time to pivot from solopreneur to an agency owner
How she’s grown as a leader going from a solopreneur to an agency owner
Where Kari gets the confidence to grow her business and take the next step
How she deals with the New Level, New Devils
