Has your agency become a ball and chain, drowning you in a prison of your own making?

Wow. That's dark. 

Let's continue...

You started this business because you felt unemployable. 

The cubicle wasn't your fit. Yet, bills don't pay themselves. And while you can deliver work with the best of them, you've chosen one of the hardest businesses to make profitable.

Sound familiar?

◾Your team bombards you with questions they should answer themselves
◾Every decision, no matter how small, must pass through you
◾You're constantly hunting for leads, praying your marketing will work
◾Prospects haggle over price and services in your never-ending sales cycle
◾You feel compelled to chase shiny tactics just to keep up with competitors

And forget dreading Mondays—you're working through weekends.

Imagine:

What if your business could run itself? 
What if your Slack icon could stay on "away"? 
What if you didn't question why you started your agency in the first place?

Picture stepping away, and your agency still thrives. No more daily chaos. No more shackles.

Running an agency demands focus and energy. Resources that dwindle as you age. 

With mounting bills, kids, and responsibilities you didn't have a decade ago, it's crucial to install the right systems. You can't rely on sheer force to drive your business forward.

You need systems that deliver:

◾A proactive team that solves problems before they reach your desk
◾Offers that flood your pipeline, closing faster and with larger contracts
◾Organizational efficiency so solid that vacations become part of your quarterly rhythm

This isn't a pipe dream.

A powerful lesson from my Army days: If you know what you're up against and what resources you have, there's always a path to success.

Right now:

◾You know your challenges.
◾You know your resources.

I've got the map to get you there.

There's a way to run an agency without sacrificing relationships, sleep, and well-being. 

In as little as 3 months, you can shift your agency from "founder-driven" to "founder-led." 

You choose the direction. The agency follows. All without breaking your back carrying the business.

You can break free from the reactivity plaguing agency owners.

Ready to reclaim your freedom and transform your agency?

If you're interested in:

➡️ Becoming a talent accelerator that makes your agency more effective, efficient, and enjoyable
➡️ Leaning into your strategic expertise to increase revenue with less effort
➡️ Leveraging existing assets to achieve your goals faster

Shoot me a DM to get started. Your journey begins with a conversation.

Chris DuBois

Agencies: Stop trying to "productize" your service.

It's the fastest way to devalue your expertise and compete on price. There's a much better way.

I was talking with an agency owner that was wrestling with this.

His work is deeply contextual and it requires getting into the weeds with each client.

"How can I create a system when every client's situation is unique?"

It's the classic expert's dilemma.

You want to grow, but you're afraid that creating a process will kill the personalized value that makes you great.

The breakthrough isn't about creating a rigid product.

It's about shifting your thinking.

Stop trying to "productize" your service. Start "standardizing" it.

Here's the difference:

Productized feels like a one-size-fits-all box. 
It implies everyone gets the exact same thing, which rarely works for complex, creative, or strategic services

Standardized is about creating a reliable system with a flexible execution. 
You define the core steps, the required inputs for each step, and the expected outputs

The journey through those steps can adapt to the client's context, but the framework remains the same.


You're not selling a toothbrush, where every unit is identical.

You're building a system that guides different users to a consistent, high-quality outcome.

This is how you scale your wisdom, not just your time.

I almost didn’t make it into the Army.

During college, while still in ROTC, I had a hiking accident that left me stranded on a mountain overnight in -70° temperatures.

This brought on some severe frostbite in my feet and it took months before I could walk again.

That was my senior year, when I should’ve been preparing to commission. 
Instead, I was bandaging my feet every day and trying to convince the Army to let me stay.

My cadre did everything they could to help me stay in. The final requirement: pass a PT test.

Push-ups? No problem. 
Sit-ups? Easy. 
Two-mile run? A nightmare.

I ran with my feet still wrapped, bleeding through my shoes by the end, but I passed. 

Barely.

And it was worth it.

That choice changed everything.

I’ve lived in Alaska and Georgia, met incredible soldiers and leaders, and built a family along the way.

I still serve in the Army Reserve, and I’m endlessly grateful for what this journey has given me.

I’ve no idea where I’d be today without my time in the service. But I do know that I’m better for it.

Happy Veterans Day to my father, my grandfather, and every man and woman who has ever worn the uniform. 🇺🇸

#VeteransDay #Leadership #Service

PS - Here. One of my former soldiers in the Reserve ran a film studio, so he recorded our battalion change of command ceremony. Enjoy.

Hiring is one of the strongest buying signals in B2B.

We just weaponized it for agencies.

In case we don’t know each other, hi, I’m Chris.

One of the things I’m running right now is the Dynamic Agency Community.

It’s a lot of fun, and there are a lot of super smart people in there.

BUT…you’re going to love one of our newest features.

The Dynamic Agency OS has partnered with Gia.

They’ve got a great product for agencies to help with content creation and surfacing buying signals to know when you should reach out to potential prospect.

I use the tool daily.

Well, their team just installed an app in our community Slack that hunts down companies currently hiring, and gives you the links to reach out.

We’ve selected the types of companies and the open positions based on a poll within the community (and can add with user requests). 

The idea is, if someone’s hiring for a position that your agency could help fill, you can reach out to the company with an offer.

Hiring signals are an awesome external trigger, and I’ve known some agencies that do this tediously through Indeed/ZipRecruiter. 

They hunt down companies in their ICP that are hiring for the service they offer, and then they reach out.

Thanks to Gia, we’re making it easier.

New signals are posted multiple times a day.


The community is only a hundred bucks per year, and we have a BFCM deal going.

Buy a membership, and you can give one to your favorite agency leader for free.

Want to buy some for your whole team? Let’s chat.

Add in the expert advice, the resources, and the peer referrals, and it’ll be some of the best money you spend this year.

#agencies #community

PS - We even had a guy learn to solve a Rubik's Cube because of the community. How’s that for a party trick?

Most agencies don’t have a marketing problem.

They have a referral reliance problem.

They’ve grown on reactive referrals. Clients who “just show up” when someone happens to mention their name.

And that’s a fine way to start.

But it’s a terrible way to scale.

Because when you rely only on reactive referrals, you never know where your next deal is coming from.

You’re just… waiting.

Here’s how to fix that.

Instead of chasing every new marketing trend, focus on two things: discovery and trust-building.

Step 1: Identify where your audience goes to discover solutions.

Ask: Where are they actively looking for answers?

It might be Reddit, Google, YouTube, or a specific community.

That’s your discovery channel.


Step 2: Know where they go to build trust.

Once they find you, where do they actually go to learn more and decide if you’re credible?

Maybe it’s LinkedIn, your podcast, or your newsletter.

That’s your trust-building channel.


Step 3: Build a bridge between them.

Create content that moves people from the discovery channel into your trust-building channel.

Make it effortless for them to explore your world and understand your point of view.


When you do this, you stop relying on random referrals…
and start attracting people who actually want to hear from you.

That’s how you build a predictable pipeline.

Not by copying “best practices,” but by aligning with how your buyers really behave.

#agencymarketing

PS - I’m launching a cohort as soon as we fill all 5 slots. If you want to nail your positioning so you can gain control of your pipeline, shoot me a DM.

A lot of agencies still think, “If I just pick the perfect niche, everything will click.”

It used to work.

Find a super specific audience and the clients would roll in.

Today the market is so crowded that niche alone is not a strategy. 

It's a starting point.

Here's what I recommend you do:

1. Find a niche with a real problem

Pick people you actually want to work with and confirm they’re dealing with a clear, painful issue.

Not a vague annoyance. A real problem.

2. Nail your positioning

This is the part most teams ignore.

How do you want to be perceived?

What do you believe about the problem that others in your niche don’t?

Your point of view is what makes you stand out when three other agencies show up to the same conversation.

3. Build an offer that reflects that positioning

Your delivery, your promise, your packaging

It all needs to match the identity you want to project.

Your offer should feel like the natural expression of what you stand for.

When you do this, you don’t get selected because you picked the “right” niche.

You get selected because you show up in the right way for that niche.

Agencies keep obsessing over building a signature framework.

But your framework is not the differentiator.

Everyone copies the good ones anyway.

I’m watching it happen in real time, right now, with a successful agency. 

Others are literally copying their frameworks and models without even editing the colors of the graphics. 

Now, they all sound identical and the only weapon left is a cheaper price. 

That’s not differentiation.

True differentiation starts with your positioning. 

Your positioning shapes your point of view. 

It defines how you'll deliver your offer and engage with clients. 

It guides your messaging and how your team makes decisions. 

A framework is still useful. It just won’t set you apart.

Your positioning will. 


We're launching another cohort with the Dynamic Agency OS to help agencies map their niche, nail their positioning, and create compelling offers they can take to market. 

If you want more information, hit me with a DM. 

We cap at five agencies per cohort and only have a couple of slots remaining.

Fun fact: you can disagree over the "right" way, without anyone being "wrong."

There's no ONE way to solve most business problems.

We all have different experiences and ideas that can get us to the same destination.

Your point of view in how to do that is at the core of your positioning.

"Many people believe X. I believe Y because Z."

Your belief structure is what attracts people.

If it doesn't resonate, there's probably a different method that would work better for them.

And if they're not bought in to your belief, they'd probably be a hard client to work with anyways.

This isn't to say you can't market to people with different beliefs. Shifting beliefs is part of marketing.

We just need to acknowledge that because a competitor has a different way of doing things, it doesn't mean they're wrong.

They're the best fit for someone who aligns with their thinking and fits their context required for success.

#agency #positioning

PS - if you believe your positioning is more than a niche and offer, and you want to take control of your marketing, we're kicking off a cohort to help you do just that.

DM for details.

A lot of agencies think delegation is about clearing your plate.

Hand off the tasks.

Buy back your time.

Feel like a “real” leader.

What I feel everyone misses is that delegation is really about improving your speed-to-informed.

When you put someone in a leadership role, it's not just so they can manage the people below them.

It's so they can gather information, filter it, and pass it up to you in a way that lets you make better decisions faster.

Great leaders are not protected from information.

They are fed the right information at the right time.

And that only happens when you have people on the ground who know what to look for and know how to send it upstream clearly.

So no, delegation is not a luxury.

It’s not even about reducing stress.

It’s about improving the velocity and quality of your decision-making.

Because the sooner you are informed, the sooner you can adjust, pivot, or course correct.

Our decisions are rarely limited by time.

They’re limited by information.

So, you want to operate at a higher level?

Stop delegating tasks.

Start delegating visibility.

The faster you can collect the right information, the easier it is to win.

#agencylife #leadership #operations

PS - Want to really improve your speed-to-informed? That’s the metric I prioritize in the Dynamic Agency Community.

Not conversations. Not active users.

I track how fast we can get an answer to someone’s question, so you’re never blocked in your growth.

We’re running a BOGO offer for all memberships until December 1st, so you can gift your favorite agency leaders.

Agencies, let me give you free content ideas for a month.

All it takes is five minutes of your time.

Your point of view is what helps you stand out as an agency.

It's what actually differentiates you as a potential solution.

Because when everyone else is saying the same things, the buyer has to base their selection on price and deliverables.

So, I created a simple GPT to help you pull out your thoughts in a way that will resonate with your buyers.

It only takes three steps.

1/ Tell it about your ICP.
2/ Tell it the topic you want to address.
3/ Give it your thoughts on the topic.

The GPT will then outline all of the conventional wisdom your ICP has around that topic and provide you with ideas for where your perspective can flip that conventional wisdom.

Like with everything you do using AI, context matters. So I'd recommend using a tool like Wispr Flow and speaking all of your thoughts into the GPT.

Tell it everything you can about the ICP, everything you can about the topic, and don't hold back on your point of view.

It'll then give you 20 ideas for content you could create this month.

Link is in the comments. You're welcome in advance.

Complex plans fall apart. Simple ones get finished.

Clarity speeds up everything. When the goals are clear and the coms are simple, people stop guessing and start moving. Teams that know what “done” looks like can make decisions without waiting for permission.

Simplicity is not a lack of ambition. It is the discipline to strip away noise so the work can actually get done.

Talks about #execution, #leadership, #operations, #extremeownership, and #businessmanagement

Senior Operations Leader | Operations Systems Builder | Global Vendor Strategy & Management | Event Direction | Extreme Ownership

You see the quote everywhere: Discipline Equals Freedom. But what does it mean for your 60-hour work week?

It's the most powerful principle of Extreme Ownership. It teaches us that self-imposed structure creates capacity and flexibility.

Financial Discipline (budgeting, saving) = Freedom from debt/stress.

Physical Discipline (working out, eating well) = Freedom of energy and health.

Team Discipline (SOPs, clear meeting agendas) = Freedom from chaos, wasted time, and micromanagement.

By instituting disciplined standards, the right way to do things, you free up your mental and physical capital to be creative, solve complex problems, and maneuver when the unexpected strikes.

The Takeaway: Stop chasing 'balance' and start embracing discipline. The more standards you impose on the mundane, the more Freedom you gain for the mission.

Opportunity rarely waits for perfect clarity.

Default Aggressive means you move when you have enough information to make a smart call. Leaders who hesitate miss openings that will not come back. Leaders who act with purpose set the pace for everyone else.

It is not reckless. It is controlled forward movement. You set guardrails, think through the risks, and commit.

When people see decisive action, they stop waiting for permission. The culture shifts from playing it safe to capturing opportunities that others overlook.

Bold execution creates advantages that slow organizations never see.

#leadership #operations

Excuses stop progress. Ownership builds it.

When something goes sideways, the fastest way out is to take responsibility and move. Leaders who do that create momentum because the team sees action instead of complaints and excuses. People pay attention to how you respond when the pressure hits. Do you step up or do you crumble?

Accountability is not about blame. It is about setting a standard where responsibility feels normal and progress feels expected.

#leadership #operations

Clarity often requires distance.

When leaders get too close to problems, emotion clouds judgment. Detachment means stepping back to see the whole picture.

It is not disengagement, it is perspective. By observing instead of reacting, leaders can identify patterns, anticipate risks, and choose better paths.

Detachment creates objectivity. It turns chaos into actionable insight. Leaders who practice it make sharper decisions and avoid costly overreactions.

Sometimes the best move is to pause, breathe, and step back.

#leadership #operations

Leadership isn’t about barking orders and hoping for the best.

It’s about being someone your team actually wants to follow, not just someone they have to.

Funny how fast people forget that.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: anyone can push projects across the finish line. That’s management.

But multiplying belief? Sparking trust? That’s leadership.

Plenty of folks can set KPIs and enforce deadlines. Fewer can win hearts at the same time.

A manager chases metrics. A leader inspires momentum.

Management runs on rules. Leadership runs on relationships.

Deadlines don’t earn loyalty. Character does.

Control doesn’t build greatness. Care does.

Forget job titles. Forget the latest productivity hacks. Here’s what real leadership looks like:

1. Set the path, then move out of the way.
If you’re steering every turn, your team will never learn to drive.

2. Bring clarity, not intensity.
When things get tense, don’t fan the flames. Shine a light.

3. Spot potential where others see problems.
A mistake is just a lesson in disguise. A contrarian might be a future innovator.

4. Start with purpose, not percentages.
People give their all for a reason, not just a result.

5. Teach self-trust.
Empowering someone to decide means you’re building more leaders, not just more followers.

6. Grow people, not ego.
Your legacy is measured in their confidence, not on your business card.

7. Keep promises when it’s toughest.
Sticking around when it’s inconvenient is when trust is really built.

8. Listen until others feel safe to speak.
Those quiet voices in the corner? They’re often your secret weapon.

9. Lead with heart, not hierarchy.
Power gets compliance. Empathy gets commitment.

Leadership isn’t about being in charge. It’s about making others feel capable.

If you want to build a team that outlasts you, stop managing work and start leading people.

Tasks can be moved by authority, but only care can move hearts.

If this sounds like tough love, good.
Because real leadership isn’t for everyone.

Ready to raise your own bar?
What’s one leadership lesson you wish more people understood?
Drop it in the comments and let’s raise the standard together.

Ignore operations, and your strategy goes nowhere.

Plans only matter if someone can turn them into real work. Operations is the engine that keeps everything moving. Without it, even the best strategy sits in a slide deck and never touches the ground.

Ops is where ideas gain traction and momentum becomes real.

#leadership #operations

Wisdom under pressure reveals character more than comfort ever will.

Leaders are tested in chaos because panic strips away pretense. Wisdom means trusting the Lord, leaning not on your own understanding, and being willing to adjust when facts demand it.

When you lean on systems or emotion alone, you'll misread the path. But when you anchor decisions in humility and wisdom, even failure becomes a lesson.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV

When was the last time you changed course because humility pointed out your blind spot?

Leadership isn't about being unbreakable. 
It's about being unshakable when everything around you is chaos. 

Mental toughness isn't a gift; it's a skill you build. 
It's not in your personality; it's in your principles. 

The strongest leaders I know don't let emotions run wild. 
They have a blueprint—rules they follow when the storm hits. 

Here are 11 rules the mentally tough swear by: 

1. Don't expect fairness 
↳ Life throws challenges, not fairness 
↳ Accept what is, adapt accordingly 

2. Separate facts from feelings 
↳ Facts are objective, feelings are subjective 
↳ Know what's influencing your reactions 

3. Focus on what you control 
↳ Energy is limited; use it wisely 
↳ Invest in areas you can influence 

4. Take full responsibility 
↳ Own your actions and results 
↳ That's where your power lies 

5. Let go of needing approval 
↳ Not everyone will get your vision 
↳ That's okay, their approval isn't your goal 

6. Learn, then move on 
↳ Extract lessons from the past 
↳ Dwelling only wastes energy 

7. Prioritize wellness 
↳ Mind and body are linked 
↳ Neglect either, and you suffer 

8. Embrace change and calculated risks 
↳ Growth lives outside the comfort zone 
↳ Evaluate, then leap 

9. Stop waiting to feel ready 
↳ Confidence is built through action, not preparation 
↳ Just start 

10. Set boundaries, no guilt needed 
↳ Your time and energy matter 
↳ Protect them fiercely 

11. Rest without guilt 
↳ Recovery isn't a reward, it's part of performance 
↳ You can't operate at your best running on empty 

Mental toughness isn't immunity from hardship. 
It's the skill of navigating it. 

Which rule do you lean on most?

Communication Skills: How to Use a Cold Read and Accusation Audit

Markets move. Technology evolves. Customers change.

Adaptation is not optional. Leaders who cling to old strategies while the world shifts get left behind. Innovation keeps teams relevant.

Experiment. Test assumptions. Encourage iteration. Allow for small failures that generate big lessons. Innovation does not appear by accident; it is built into culture.

Adaptable leaders listen closely, learn quickly, and pivot decisively. Survival and growth depend on it.

The businesses that last are not the biggest; they are the most adaptable.

#leadership #operations

When politics drives decisions, talent disengages.

Meritocracy means rewarding performance, not relationships. It sets clear standards and measures people on results.

Promoting based on politics destroys culture. Promoting based on merit builds it. When people know their contributions matter, engagement and innovation increase.

Leaders must choose fairness over favoritism if they want teams that trust the system.

#leadership #operations

Trust requires honesty.

Leaders who speak openly prevent crises. Hidden problems will continue to grow. Transparency builds confidence.

Truth builds trust.
