This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from photographer Hannah Brooke. She says:“So. I built my photography business up for 2.5 years alongside my day job, got it to the point I could resign. Yay. And I finish that day job next Thursday. Eek!The photography diary already got cancelled or postponed and after crying about it for about 2 solid weeks, I picked myself up and wrote an online course on smartphone photography. Which people have actually bought. Hurrah! Obviously I’m right proper chuffed about this (I’m from Yorkshire and you’ll need to say this in a Yorkshire accent!) but my question to you is around pivoting my business and how to market this extra string I’ve added to my bow, whilst still making it really clear that photographing weddings and families  is what I do and want to be doing when this extraordinary time is over! I have A LOT of ideas but I’m worried it all looks a bit chaotic and confusing to my customers.Thanks in advance, Hannah”What would your advice be?

Summary: There are only 2 ways to gain wisdom: 1) learn from your own experiences and failures or 2) learn from the experiences of others. In this episode we discuss the reality of building and selling an agency with Hannah Paramore Breen, founder of Paramore Digital and author of Business Ownership- The Joy, The Pain, The Truth: A Survival Guide. This is a topic on the mind of any business leader. It’s something that’s often idealized, but rarely understood.    Resources Mentioned:    Business Ownership- The Joy, The Pain, The Truth: A Survival Guide by Hannah Paramore Breen     Top 3 Curtain Pulls in this episode: Understand from the beginning that you’re building an asset that will help create a life that you want to live in the future. Run your business with the intention of building a healthy business that will provide the life you want! As a business owner, the process of selling can be exhausting and emotional. The importance of relationships and mentors is more important in this season than ever. If you’re a business owner, get a hobby! Something that will take up brain space and ensure that you have a life outside of the office- this work-life balance is absolutely necessary to mental health.   About Our Guest: Hannah Paramore Breen: Former CEO of Paramore Digital, a digital agency she ran from 2002- 2016. Through the years she navigated the world of business ownership- including the highs and lows that inspire you to achieve and make you want to quit. Fast Company, Business Insider, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg business week, and the New York Times have all profiled Hannah’s candid, no-nonsense style and approach to leadership and the daily struggles that come with owning a high growth digital agency. She also has a 12.3 handicap on the golf course!   About The Guys:  Bob Hutchins: Founder of BuzzPlant, a digital agency that he ran from from 2000 -2017. He is also the author of 3 books.

And I agree with that…. It’s hard to get your peers to tell you the truth.” [5:00] Hannah: “I feel like I have something to say, particularly to business owners who want to know what to do with what they’ve built, because that was my big question the last three years or so… have I become the limiting factor to the company?” [7:33] Bob asks Hannah to speak on business being “a process of continual shedding” The positive side of this shedding process is that eventually all owners begin to shed their responsibility and delegate to others, allowing growth to be broad instead of deep. This allows the company to be structured The negative side of this shedding is that eventually you do transition away from direct 1-on-1 relationships with the staff and instead hand those roles over to managers and directors, etc.  “It took me a long time to learn the difference between a CEO and a President of the company… If I had found that President for my company in time, maybe I would have had an additional choice.” [10:05] Bob asks: “In your book you discuss trying to find your #2 within the first 5 years- is that what you’re talking about here?” Hannah: When you’re a business owner in any type of business round table, they always want to know what your exit plan is and who your number two is.  “When I got to the point that I knew I needed it (a President), it was hard to hire it because we had a legacy of promoting from within… to hire outside felt like that would be really disruptive to the culture of the company.” Had she had a partner in this, the process would have been a lot less lonely.  [13:00] Ken asks: “Where did you go outside of your company, or could you go anywhere to find those peers?” Hannah: “I had been in business for four years or so by the time I got an EO… that was good for me in a lot of ways.The good thing about EO is that it’s non competitive… the bad thing is that it’s non competitive,” meaning that while you can learn from people there, the lack of competition means learning is slower paced and not exact. [14:35] Bob asks: “Being early in the digital agency space and seeing this whole world transform and being a part of it- What was it like engaging and interacting with generational differences?” As the age gap between herself and the people she was hiring got wider and wider, “...there was just a huge disconnect… I cared about them as people, but I couldn’t take the time to get to know them at that many years in business… it’s hard on relationships and especially on the owner when you feel alone… you begin not to trust.” [15:42] Hannah: “You begin to not trust your staff because you know that at that age, you’re a pit stop on their way to somewhere else and turnover is very hard on project work.” [15:50] Ken asks: “It seems more often than not in the agency world or even maybe other service businesses as well… you might end up in business without wanting to be in business, is that right? And so you don’t have that ‘thing’ that pulls you through.” [16:41] Hannah: “Exactly… people get into marketing or creative jobs because it seems like fun… a good place to start… and I do think in the agency world you have a lot more turnover. And the thing is… clients expect it.” “I think that there’s also a lot of misconceptions on their side or just… wrong expectations on the employee’s sides that it will always be fun...they expect to continue their college years inside the business...there will come a point where it’s just work, man, it’s time to run a business.” [18:35] Ken asks Hannah why she chose to start an agency [18:52] Hannah: “I was a classical piano major in college. My dad was a preacher, and my mother was a housewife… I didn’t have any kind of career aspirations… I was just on the borderline when women took off in the 70’s… some things happened that sent me off on a different path. I worked a lot of soul-sucking jobs in my career… so I’ve never had a business class or a marketing course in my life.” Eventually she was laid off in a large corporate restructuring and a headhunter offered her a job at Citysearch, an online city guide. She understood the company’s mission quickly and flourished there.  [20:36] “I loved that job and that job changed my life. And it was so early in the industry that you were just learning on warp speed every single day.” She was with Citysearch for 3 years, and because her role there was high profile she had no problem getting other jobs- the difficulty was keeping them through the recession of the late 2000’s.  [22:35] Ken: “So would you say, the reason you got into your agency was because of the excitement and the freedom?” The industry was inherently exciting because it was so new.  The process of finding a job that was sustainable that also offered her the freedom she wanted and allowed her to truly trust the people running the agencies- this lasted through 4 jobs. Meanwhile, she built contacts and knowledge in a niche market and was acutely aware of the holes in the market. [23:30] “The core values of my company that I eventually wrote like three years in, they reflected so much of frustration from the industry.” One of those things was 100% delivery on the promises made to clients. At the time, it was hard to get that result because “Traditional agencies had the clients, but they did not have the digital talent and they didn’t understand it… they couldn’t get good digital people to work for them because even if they grew digital to be 20% of their revenue, it was only 20% of their revenue. So it was always disrespected. It was given the short sheet… and you can’t get good talent to work for you like that… So that was the hole in the market that I saw. And so I really thought that I would consult for a while… but that frustrated me because I want to see the ideas finished.” [25:00] “So I hired a project manager, and then I hired a developer, and I needed two, and then it’s over. Then you have a company.” [28:30] Bob asks: “What was it like being a woman-owned digital agency starting back then?” Hannah speaks on how natural it was. In the beginning she won “woman in the industry” awards but eventually stopped applying for them because “I don’t want anything in front of business owner… it offends me to be called a woman business owner. Anything else just lowers the bar… I wanted to just compete.”  She speaks on understanding the reality of being a “woman in the industry” but just never paid attention to it.  [31:00] Ken asks about the process of actually selling her business. “So from the outside, you start a business, you grow it to $5, $6 million, which is awesome. And you sell it. That looks awesome and exciting- and I guess a lot of people would idealize that. But talk about some of the ups and down in that?” “In our industry that is so project-focused, it can be hard to find a place to celebrate… it felt the same selling the business. I sold it fast, I was not marketing it out. But in the back of my mind...I’d love to sell but I didn’t think it was possible.” [32:30] Ken and Bob ask where that lack of belief came from. “... because of the fact that it’s a project oriented industry and there aren’t any longterm contracts… so what’s the value? I couldn’t understand how to quantify that value… but there are strategic buyers out there.” “I had a strategic buyer who… saw the value that I couldn’t see in the business… they wanted to be in Nashville, and wanted the diversity in their client base, and they needed digital talent.” “Most of these deals fall apart… like in the last few weeks. It is extremely scary.” [34:15] Bob: “Was that something that kept you up at night? Like… this is either a home run or it’s going to fall flat.” Hannah: “Yes. Because you cannot do it in secret.” Hannah speaks on the risks of letting other in on the process of selling. Bringing VP’s into the discussion leaves room for them to doubt your commitment to the business if the deal doesn’t go through.  [36:00] “You spend months going down that road to sell, which means that you are choosing to not engage in business development like you normally would… so your business development pipeline starts to dry up… everything makes you angry, you’re emotionally wrung out… it’s not fun anymore… If you have a vision for something else, if you have the opportunity to sell your business and make good money and good multiple on your business… it takes serious consideration at least.... Because there are very few times in your life that you have the opportunity to do a deal of that size… and in the kind of industry which changes so rapidly, your skillset can be antiquated.” She met her buyer in December and the papers were signed the following November 31st. She had a 2-year workout process. Tip: Negotiate a shorter workout! [38:14] Brad asks about the relationship with her staff and what their response was to her.  The process of deciding to sell, telling her staff, and then working out her tenure with the company was a challenging process. It took her 6 months to truly accept that the business was no longer hers after the papers were signed.  “Whether someone wants to work for new owners is the question.” [43:00] Ken asks Hannah: “Are there any things you would do differently? What are the top 3?” #1: “I would work longer on understanding that I was building an asset that was supposed to enable my life… I didn’t have high enough expectations for that, so I gave everything to the business… If you are 35 years old and own business, when you are 45 years old, you’re going to feel differently about that business than you do now.” You are GOING to want to spend your days differently, so make sure you’re building a business with that reality in mind and enable that life rather than keeping you sucked in. [45:51] Ken reiterates 2 awesome points: “Number one, make sure you’re enjoying what you’re doing… we spend more than half our lives in business, so it has to be something you enjoy… And number two… you’ve got to build it so that it’s a smart business. It creates a profit. It’s built assets… so that ultimately, like you said, it can not only fulfill your destiny where you need to be but also everyone who works for you… this business has to be on the rails.” [46:41] Hannah: “A lot of time the right reason for making decisions is a financial reason. The company needs to make profit.”  The most fun part of owning a business is watching people grow, along with watching your bank account grow. It’s necessary! [48:00] Bob asks: What one thing could 60 year old Hannah tell 42 year old Hannah?  Hannah: “I was told that every agency owner should have a hobby that takes a lot of time, that’s expensive, and that’s preferably dangerous…. The danger meaning that it needs to be something that if you don’t concentrate on it absolutely to the exclusion of everything else, you can’t do it well.” “I got a passion that made me impatient with overwork. You need to love this hobby so much that it makes you impatient to get out of the office because that creates the balance in your life because your business is going to take from you anyway. You’re going to spend a lot of time there, it’s going to get the best of your thought process. It’s going to get the best part of your time, and you have to have something that competes against that.” [51:23] Bob asks: “What are the things you see… starting new digital agencies these days. What are some things that you’re seeing and want to advise them about?” [52:02] Hannah: “The lack of business acumen… there’s no way in life that a 20 something year old is right around a business… young owners are too altruistic by nature and aren’t ready to navigate the waters you get into when you start doing real business… Lean into humility.” [54:00] Ken mentions mentoring as a way to open yourself up to be the shortcut for new people in the industry. “There’s two ways to gain wisdom, by other experiences or your own experiences. The normal way is to make your own mistakes, which is great… but the smarter way is to find other people who have done it and learn from them.” [55:43] Hannah: “I’d love for my legacy to be to change the relationships between business owners so that we have a much more collaborative culture.” [56:07] Bob adds: “That’s our dream. And I think… you’ve got to get beyond the business principles and you’ve got to be willing to and be vulnerable into the personal, the psychological, the emotional, because that is the emotional intelligence around business ownership.” [1:06:55] Hannah: “... a strong spiritual foundation for me is a reason outside of what we see every day… we’re supposed to leave the world a better place. Accepting that you’re not going to have perfect balance in your life every day is a process… so you have to let go of your own expectations of what your life is supposed to be like and reframe that for yourself.” It can be sad and even scary to think that your company will run just fine and even expand without you, but it’s also a really great thing. Because if you sell your company and it immediately fails, you haven’t built a very stable company.

  Hannah Dixon - Digital Nomad (Links coming soon!)  She's currently in Hanoi, although based out of Bangkok. Sardinia, Sicily, Budapest... I want to live your life" - Lisa I think the pros outweigh the cons for sure." - Hannah The digital nomad community is incredible everywhere. They do meet ups for dinner and drinks and such. Hannah is a virtual assistant but is now training other virtual assistants. She's been a VA for three years, and on the road for the last 8 years. She worked at a husky dog center, a farm in Italy, mostly bars and farms. "I think we forget how privileged we are when we just want to "get out of here""- Hannah Why are you moving again? "I don't have a home"- Hannah Do you get sick? Yes I'm a bit more sensitive to that. What's the first thing you tell people who want to transition to this lifestyle? Take your laptop and work on the other side of town all day. If you can do that, then you kind of have an indication already if you can do this thing. Take smaller trips. Go to a different city in your country for a month. You have a lot of things you have to change all the time. You can't be sentimental about stuff anymore. Hannah is from London, UK, and she'll stop home about once a year in October for her parents and her birthday. What made you decide to do this? I guess I was travelling already, I knew this nomadic lifestyle was for me. I never even considered working online, I was a farm girl. Past partner taught her how. "I know it doesn't just happen-but it does!" - Lisa Working online, it's so important to have these communities online. (insert communities) "It's like another family, and I'm not even on the road" - Lisa What's the best place you've been to? Budapest! (she confirms the food is great!) Low cost of living, and being an introvert, the people aren't going to chat you up a lot. Outdoor baths and autonomy. Who do you follow? Who do you think is really cool that's doing what you're doing? Natty and Jodie - the house sitting academy The had a business in Dubai that went really wrong but they're kind of house sitting extraordinaire so they decided to teach people how! They teach you how to make sure that you're selected for sought after sits. An online community with referrals. They don't pay you and you don't pay them. "I usually save a bunch of money and plan a two week trip, but I think I want something else now" - Lisa It's actually very much up to you "You just need your first months rent and a plane ticket" - Hannah Flight stein - a subscription that finds you the best price flights Nomad Fly - flight hacking course saving $100s and $100s Having a boyfriend / dating. What if you have a partner that's in a stable job? Should you just date nomads? No real solution, but this lifestyle is becoming more normal, so we're still looking for solutions. Did it get more addicting as you did it? Yes, after becoming a digital nomad. You meet people who tell you about amazing places and you "Get a bit of jealousy, I want to go there!" - Hannah "There's a whole different life out there" - Lisa You're really chasing WiFi, right?" - Lisa Nomad list - a resource for checking places out, i.e. is it safe/female friendly/wifi/cost of living Are there people in their 40's and 50's? Oh yeah! Way older than that too! What if I'm seasick the whole time?" Lisa on sailing around the world on a boat. Co-boat - co working co living sailboat that goes around the world for digital nomads! One of the big issues with traveling a lot is Visas. Always having to do visa runs. Counting down the days having to rush places. "I have a year lease on my apartment but I can't be in the country for more than two months at a time. Have to get on a plane and leave." - Hannah I could have just flown out for a day and back, but it's cheap so I figured I'd visit. Worst place? I've been to many places where the other people haven't liked it, but i'm very easy going and I realize " that's the way they do that here" Sicily- More run down than anywhere and very corrupt system. Getting ripped off all the time. Little Mafia towns. Alcomo? "Really run down with dead cats on the street, okay I'm good" - Lisa "I walked up to my hostel, and there's a man shaving a cat on the doorstep. Luckily I gave it a chance" - Hannah Everything in Vietnam is a mild inconvenience, things just don't work the same. Airbnb gives refunds if it isn't at all what you expected! BTBY event in New York, not LA. "It's the new year, I wanted to put out into the world...this is my plan!" - Lisa If you're thinking that you can't do it, here's a little sheet that helps pinpoint how you can do this digitally. This is from my course. "Identify what you're doing in your traditional job and how you can take that online" - Hannah "There's nothing wrong with keeping a home base." - Hannah You can rent it out with airbnb while you're not there, and make money, you can also plan around when you need to be home. How cheap is it? How much are you paying to sleep? Air bnb is expensive because it's not long term. $180 for the week, which is pricey for the area. $70 is local style, "I opt for the western style toilets and showers"- Hannah Long term, $350/month in Bangkok, water bill is .40/month. Share it with someone, it has a gym and a pool - and this is the more expensive side. Airbnb is great because it helps you test it out. Facebook group where people talk about all this stuff. VA-a personal assistant online, and the scope is even more. (website, answering emails...) "I don't call anywhere home, which people find really strange." - Hannah "I don't need a place to call home when I know that the world is mine" - Hannah What about medical insurance? "The only issue is in the US. Medical care is cheap or free anywhere else" - Hannah The only time when she buys insurance is coming to the US. As a dual UK-US citizen she travels with her UK passport and buys travel insurance. "You're renting a nice place for what I pay in insurance monthly" - Lisa "Bali is a little bit less gritty, feels more comfortable, and it's still cheap" - Hannah "I kind of gave you a bad question" - Lisa   Verbal Rorschach rug: chamber tacos: food painting: gallery love: heart dogs: thailand (lot's of wild dogs) mascara: beautiful iphone: technology (she's an android lover!) earring: jewelry comfortable: bed Last question!
