That's where this book comes in.Grow, Build, Sell, Live features practical and implementable advice and tools to address the day-to-day reality of running a successful agency.

If you are thinking about starting your own agency; have started one and hit your first round of growing pains, or are a veteran looking for an exit, this book is for you. It will appeal to current and aspiring agency owners who want to understand and be conscious of their choices and take control of their agency.
