How We Built a Million Dollar Creative Agency
Starting a new business is both a terrifying and thrilling experience. I think there are a lot of people who dream of being their own boss and doing work that they are passionate about. In the age of digital marketing, there's an increasing need for creative services. Starting a creative agency, whether you are a graphic designer, content writer, web developer, or filmmaker, can be challenging if you do not have a background in business. We have learned a lot since starting our video production company 10 years ago. We made a lot of mistakes, and we learned a ton. Today, I want to share a bit of that journey, where we are now, and the future. This also hopefully marks a new direction for this channel where we teach business education for filmmakers and other creative professionals.
