## Resource

Marcus built his agency by doing everything himself, and it worked—until it didn't. Now he's got steady clients, recurring revenue, and a small team, but he's still making every decision, reviewing every deliverable, and jumping in the moment something goes wrong. Is that scrappy founder energy, or is it holding the business back? Preston, Sabrina, and agency coach Jesse P. Gilmore break down the exact framework for figuring out what to eliminate, automate, and delegate—and why the shift from self-employed to business owner starts with knowing your unique ability.
