| 0:00.0 | we have noticed with our clients that there is an in-between stage as they grow their business |
| 0:12.7 | on the road from solopreneur to an agency model. When you have an agency, you have other |
| 0:19.3 | service providers doing work for your clients. |
| 0:23.0 | But what hires do you make before you are ready to bring that other service provider to work |
| 0:30.1 | with your clients doing all or almost all the things that you are currently doing? |
| 0:34.9 | So think about if you're a solo provider doing all the things |
| 0:37.7 | for all the people, but you're not quite ready to bring on another you. What do you do? |

| 1:40.8 | But what's happening is the business is getting a lot of momentum. |
| 1:46.5 | You are starting to get to capacity and feeling most likely overwhelmed and that you have almost no time. And so when we see |
| 1:55.8 | our clients in Six Figures Lab, get to this point, it's really kind of exciting for us, right? Because this is what we've |
| 2:01.6 | been trying to get them to. We've been helping them move from offering, say, a package of hours to |
