For Episode 5, my guest is Harry Roper, CEO of Imaginary Space. The agency helps companies who are going through a seasonal slump, lack sales being generated from their website, and are looking to move their business forward.
In today’s episode we talk about:
1) Scaling too fast.
2. Agreeing to work that you can't do. Whether thats budget or just pure skills.
3. Overpromising!
The most interesting part of this episode for me was choosing to transition from freelancing to agency. It's important to freelancing and understand all the different parts of the webdesign process first. A lot of people ask whether they should start an agency or just be a solo freelancer but before asking that question, Harry advocates working out what parts of the client process do you like and dislike.
After working with a few clients, you might realise you dislike the design part of the project but like the development part. If that's the case, potentially finding someone to do the design part of projects would be necessary.
If you hire a freelancer to do this work and you get on well.
