Work Less, Earn More How to Escape the Daily Grind of Agency Ownership
By Karl Sakas (2023)
Agencies are complex businesses. They have humans on all sides (owners, employees, and clients). Clients are subjectively picky.

Fortunately, you don’t have to go it alone. Work Less, Earn More gives you a step-by-step process to reclaim your work-life balance and get paid what you’re worth. When you make the right decisions, you can look forward to a brighter future.
