stling, wearing all the hats, and still not reaching the level of income or freedom you want. I’ve been there, and I know exactly how frustrating it is to be stuck in that cycle. The reality is that the key to working less and earning more isn’t about pushing yourself harder; it’s about transforming how you run your business. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to move from a solo freelancer to a true agency owner.

And I’m not just talking about the traditional agency model with employees—I’ll also share insights on the “floating agency” approach, where you bring in contractors only when you need them. It’s a flexible, scalable way to grow without the overwhelm, and it’s a strategy that nobody’s talking about.

You will learn:

The biggest reasons freelance designers stay stuck and overworked
The difference between a traditional agency and a floating agency, and which might be right for you
How to start delegating tasks without needing full-time employees
The mindset shifts that will help you step into a true leadership role
Practical tips for structuring your services and processes to work less and make more

Grab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to redefine how you run your design business!
