- [What game are you playing?](https://worryfreeagency.com/what-game-are-you-playing/) - So a few decades ago I knew I wanted to start an agency. I had plans to make creative good for awesome clients and make Scrooge McDuck levels of cash. Here is the thing, I was an idiot, probably still am but that's a different article for a different day. I was an idiot because
- [What’s in your highlight reel?](https://worryfreeagency.com/whats-in-your-highlight-reel/) - You may not know this, but I’m a very competitive person, just not in the typical ways. I was never great at sports, but I worked hard to be my best. Losing didn’t frustrate me in ways it did my teammates. You see, I was a very self aware child and teen, and could always
- [One of those days, one of those weeks](https://worryfreeagency.com/one-of-those-days-one-of-those-weeks/) - It's been just one of those days, and one of those kinds of weeks. You know the kind, the ones that drain you, everything needs your attention and nothing seems to go according to plan. That kind where you look at your to-do list, and it's longer than when you started the week. How do
- [Embracing the imposter](https://worryfreeagency.com/embracing-the-imposter/) - I'm sure you have seen these memes that float around joking about growing up and still not feeling like an adult. Like even in my 30's, I still feel like I'm waiting for an adult to help, someone who knows what they are doing. Spolier, you are the adult. And I hope you are sitting,
- [The thing about small things.](https://worryfreeagency.com/the-thing-about-small-things/) - So here I am, working away, recovering from 3 weeks of illness. And my list of tasks is rather long. Some client work, some business tasks, and some things that I have had on my list for months. Things that will make my life and my staffs lives easier when I roll them out. But
- [4 tips to guarding the emotional labor tax](https://worryfreeagency.com/4-tips-to-guarding-the-emotional-labor-tax/) - In my last post, we dove into a concept known as 'Emotional Labor' and how it can affect your team, your clients, your profits, and your will to carry on. Tons of great conversation on Linkedin is prompting a bit of a follow-up. One thing that really surprised me, is that no one really knew
- [Emotional Labor](https://worryfreeagency.com/emotional-labor/) - This is a new phrase I just made up. TM pending, lol. * With every project, client, task, and internal review comes the hard work, the rewards, and the unspoken emotional toll. I'm calling this toll the "Emotional Labor." We don't talk about this one enough, but we really should. First, what is Emotional Labor?
- [Playing Goalie](https://worryfreeagency.com/playing-goalie/) - As the owner of an agency, you wear many hats. So many hats. We like to remember the lead roles, the coach, the mentor, etc. We are most often the one closing the deals, a "rainmaker" as they say. We find and secure the work for our team, or still sometimes ourselves, to produce. We
- [The price of value](https://worryfreeagency.com/the-price-of-value/) - This last weekend I was out of town with the family, enjoying some hiking, mountains, and creeks of a small tourist town just a few hours north of Phoenix. This is THE tourist spot with all kinds of activities from rock climbing, horseback tours, kayaks, paddleboards, and off-road motorsports. Something stood out to me a
- [5 rules of trust and credibility.](https://worryfreeagency.com/5-rules-of-trust-and-credibility/) - With any new customer, we have a journey we take. For the sake of this post, this new customer doesn't know you personally. So you have a bit of an uphill battle on this path. The best customers know, like and trusts you. Its a spot you earn, and you have a few things in
- [Learning to use a CRM for tracking new work in the best and worst of times.](https://worryfreeagency.com/learning-to-use-a-crm-for-tracking-new-work-in-the-best-and-worst-of-times/) - I’m sure you have heard the old adage, ‘Feast or Famine’. As the economies, realities, and life flex over the months and years, you may find yourself in one of these two modes. I’ve been here too — just starting out, in the 2008 crisis and other times here and there between major events, holidays,
- [Not everyone sees the light at the end of the tunnel, not everyone is a visionary.](https://worryfreeagency.com/not-everyone-sees-the-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel-not-everyone-is-a-visionary/) - Some people, often negative ones, need a very clear path because adapting to change is hard and frankly unknowns scare some people. We optimistic visionary leader types thrive in the unknown, the places between success and failure are our playground because we really don’t see failure as an option anyway. We look to the path
- [A time to pivot](https://worryfreeagency.com/a-time-to-pivot/) - Most of us sit in our bubble, working away, doing the same thing every day because it works. We push the needle forward ever so slightly year over year and it looks like progress. We make minor adjustments to our days, our products, our approach. That's fine if it makes you happy, and you've never
- [Scientific Strategy in Your Business.](https://worryfreeagency.com/scientific-strategy-in-your-business/) - I'm a planner. I like to think through all the options, the variables at play, and calculate the best path forward. It's made me a terrible skateboarder. Too many unknowns and physics that are too out of my control. My terrible skills at skateboarding was not my point here. I want to think about the
- [Why I never respond to the open call for a bid*](https://worryfreeagency.com/why-i-never-respond-to-the-open-call-for-a-bid/) - You see it all the time, someone on social media or LinkedIn asks for work to be done. They throw out a vague request, it goes like this: Hey we are looking to redesign our website, let me know how much you'd charge to do something amazing!!! Red flags. All the red flags. They will
