Scaling looked like success until it started breaking the business.

In this video, Steven Pope talks about the scaling mistake many agency owners make when client numbers keep growing. He explains why many agencies hit a wall around 40 clients, what went wrong when the business kept expanding, and the systems that helped handle more clients without chaos.

If you run an agency or plan to scale one, this lesson could save you from learning the hard way.
