Month 26: Decade Journey
Month 26, March 2026.
$1 million USD in 5 years, 60 months, but will keep going until 120 months
Where I am
Good news and bad news. Good news is that Decade Journey is no longer a one man band, I’ve just onboarded the agency’s first employee in March and another one is coming in April. I am super pumped about that.
Bad news is that I have dropped the ball in many areas of the agency: content, marketing, sales.
All is well, I think it is one of those moments where we take a step back to move two steps forward. I did so many things for the first time this month: hiring, legal contracts, business bank account. I am glad I am kind learning all of this so the next time any of this happens I know how to deal with it.
I am pretty sure March was also a record revenue for the agency, I still have to sum it all up but I think it was. It was also a big increase in costs: employees, one very expensive tool as well.
I think that was the main snapshot for March. I was referred to two new clients, very large ones that I am super pumped to work with. Hopefully they close and I get some good testimonials.
On the content / marketing side of the house, I am completely stuck. My wife is going to help me with that as I haven’t posted anything for over 2 months now I think. Which is terrible, especially because my last video was a tremendous success. I would never expect it to hit 2.5k views.
Where I am going
For April, I want the intern to start helping me with some client work so I can focus on automating more stuff for the agency: reports, marketing, content, campaign launches, etc.
There are so many avenues of growth that I am not exploring simply due to lack of time. Hopefully this changes this month. With better SOP’s and now employees by my side, things should be easier for me to scale.
In April I really want to launch the new website. I think that is a big milestone, and one that will allow me to charge higher prices, since my current website doesn’t really sell something “expensive” or high quality.
Oh, April is also a new quarter so I have done my quarterly goals as well. Nothing changed drastically, except that I added the website launch PLUS better proposals and visuals.
I had this reminder in the prior month and I will leave it here again:
Be more consistent with the things that scale: content and communities (newsletter).
