The Young Founders Are Coming For You

The time to take market share and grow your business is right now. There will never be a better time — and I don't say that lightly.

I've now seen enough data from the eight- and nine-figure agencies in the market to know it's true. Here's why.

Why The Giants Can't Move Fast

The ability for anyone to optimize and speed up their operation has been completely turned on its head. Any agency can now build a library of AI skills that improves their own output rapidly, with less and less human intervention.

I predicted this in a 2025 newsletter, and it's playing out exactly as I thought: the agencies sitting on the most market share are the ones least able to act on it.

Why? Because they have too many variables to manage.

Too many team members. Too many clients. And most agencies were never built on clean operations in the first place — so as they grew, their headaches grew right alongside them.

I spoke with an agency owner doing $15 million a year just last week. They have an incredible funnel — one of the most reputable names in their vertical, able to sign clients almost at will. And they've implemented almost zero modernization around AI.

I talked to the head of one of their departments — for simplicity lets say he was had of SEO. He told me he's working 14 to 16 hours a day. A "light" day is 12. His team can ship, at most, one blog a week per client.

When they came to me to talk about building out their AI systems, they decided to put out their existing fires first — before building anything new.

The very thing that makes these agencies dominant — their size — is now the thing holding them hostage. They cannot move fast because they have TOO much to build and solve for.

If you want to grow and take market share, this is your moment.

If you want help building the AI systems that let your team multiply its output — the exact thing the big agencies can't move fast enough to do — we're working with a small number of agency founders on this right now.

Here's Exactly What I'd Do

Most of what I recommend is using AI to increase your profits and build a dream (easy) business).

But right now, the easiest way to grow your profit is to go get more customers — using what you now know about how slow the big agencies really are.

Here's exactly what I'd do if I were under $20 million a year and wanted to use the next 12 months to 3X-4-X.

Step 1: Go all-in on AI optimization.

I'd build a series of agents and workflows that let my team 4–5x their output, and I'd go all-in over the next 90 days. Done right, this makes your throughput far higher, your delivery far faster, and your profit significantly larger.

Start with your AI skill library. This is the easiest action to take to increase your thoughput.

Step 2: Roll Out An Irresistible Offer

Once your output multiplies, you have a choice.

Most owners will take profits and keep growing steadily — avoiding unnecessary risk and headache.

But if you're hungry, and want to seize this moment, here's the aggressive play: make your offer so good it makes your competitors look weak.

Say the average SEO agency produces one or two blogs a week. You go to that same client, at the same price they're already paying, and you produce five times the output.

And if anyone's skeptical, that's your opening to be completely transparent:

"Our team is optimized with efficient AI processes. Everything we do is augmented work. Because we've automated the simple, administrative things, we can produce epic results at 4–5x the speed of 99% of the market. Same price. We just deliver far more value."

Same price, 5X the value, 5X the spped. Why would a client ever say no?

The Young Founders Are Already Coming

This path is coming whether you like it or not. I’ve already met dozens of young founders between 18 and 25 years old that are already implementing this.

If you're an incumbent and you don't have a defensive strategy — you need to start thinking about it now.

Because the young founders are coming for you.

And if you are one of those young founders, and you want to build an agency that rapidly scaled to 8 figures, this is exactly how you do it.

Final Thought

The window where being small is an advantage doesn't stay open forever. The agencies that move now — while the giants are still putting out fires — are the ones who'll own the next five years.
