In 2014 I started a business as a way to make money for my family. Little did I know what it would morph into and how it would unlock my passion for leadership, team building, and teaching. Here’s the story behind starting a marketing agency. Make sure you're subscribed to the agency newsletter www.kateahl.com/subscribeFollow on Instagram @kateahlshow

I’m Kate Ahl and welcome to the Kate Ahl ShowI’m An Agency owner, team builder, passionate teacher, coach, guide, and leader. What started at the kitchen table in 2014 as a dumb idea, morphed into something I never would have expected. A CEO of a 7 figure agency, serving hundreds of clients and providing meaningful employment to over 35 team members. With the start of this accidental business, it ignited what I was meant to do all along. The interactions with clients brought out my love of serving and helping. The new team hires revealed my gift of seeing strengths in others and helping them grow into their full potential. The business structure tapped into the leadership trait someone called out in me when I was just 15. It’s been 8 years of failures, mistakes, joys, wins, learning lessons, and more. It’s been coaching, masterminds, marketing, and personality tests. By no means do I have the whole agency ownership thing figured out, but I do have some wisdom lessons that I’m willing to pass on to others in a service-based business. This podcast Is just that, simple lessons, takeaways, and stories from my experience as an agency owner. My hope is that you’ll be challenged, inspired, encouraged, and motivated to continue to serve your clients in the best way possible.And ultimately, that you’ll get to a point where you’re out of the weeds of the service owner details and into the place of the CEO of your agency where you can lead, grow, and scale to impact clients and your team.As you listen to this podcast, please share it with other service providers and agency owners who need a bit of encouragement as well. With that, let’s dive into the Kate Ahl show.
