Running a business means facing tough questions — and way too often, we face them alone.
Should I grow a team or stay solo?

For this month’s Happy Hour, we’re bringing back the Agency Help Desk…
We collected real (anonymous) submissions from Barflies who are dealing with very real challenges in their business — and we’re bringing them to the group for live feedback, discussion, and support.
It’s a chance to hear how other agency owners are thinking through the same stuff you’re probably dealing with too — and share your own perspective along the way.

Got a challenge you’d like the group to discuss? Submit it here to have it shared anonymously.
