Attention profitable agency owners struggling to scale…
From Burnout to Breakthroughs: Join the Agency Community that Turns Overwhelm into 8-Figure Success
The Agency Owner Association (AOA) is a community of high-performing agency owners and an education platform designed to help you build a lead generation machine, streamline fulfillment, and scale fast—without sacrificing work-life balance.
It wasn’t so long ago that I was in a position not too far off from where you are today. In fact, I bet my position might even be worse than yours. I bought SingleGrain, my marketing agency, when it was failing.
I lost almost every single employee as the agency nosedived.
People talk about keeping the lights on, we were paying for Starbucks to keep our access to the internet on at public cafes. Then something very small happened, that led to a
gigantic leap for us.
I asked a question,
“What do I do?”
I know.
Your jaw is dropping. Big deal.
We all ask this question.
All of that is true, we often know the right questions to ask but the problem is we don’t have the right people to answer.
Fortunately, I did.
That person told me exactly what I should do as my strategy to help save and turn Single Grain around. This one question asked to the right person led me from looming bankruptcy to the most profitable the agency had ever been. It allowed me to eventually scale to 8-figures, speak on stages across the world, and impact tens of thousands of entrepreneurs across every industry imaginable.
All the while building an absolute rockstar team that are more skilled than me at fulfilling for our clients.
My agency went from a failing dream, to a predictable cash flowing machine.
I was floundering, then suddenly… flourishing.
All in a few short years.
Do you know how I found the right person to ask my lame question?
One word: Community.
Back then, there were no real groups and no real way to find other people who “been there, done that”.
I had to make my own community.
I did it through tiny group dinners, micro entrepreneur meetups, and relentless networking until I found the right group of people and the right individual who had once struggled just like me who could give me a good answer. It was tough to find these people. There were no obvious communities that could help me back then.
In fact I would argue… there still isn’t.
Until now.
My mission at AOA is that you never face these challenges alone.
But before I get into the AOA.
That there is always another profitable agency owner ready to help you answer your questions and help you overcome the struggle.
... let me share some terrible truths that I think you will resonate with as an agency owner.
A Juggler of a Thousand Plates
As an agency owner, you’re in the eye of the storm. It’s anything but calm.
It can feel like the loneliest journey.
You can’t turn to your team with your worries or larger business challenges. You need to keep their morale high. Yet, you also need insights on what to do, when to do what, and most importantly… how to do it.
You can’t simply ask for advice on social media - after all your clients are watching you.
They might start thinking, “Why is my agency asking questions about marketing? Aren’t they supposed to know marketing? Why am I paying them if they need to ask someone else?”
Not to mention all the non-marketing questions you have for growing your business from hiring high quality talent to managing your profit & loss statement.
“Without clear guidance, agency owners get stuck fighting the same fires, year after year. You become Sisyphus, rolling that boulder up that hill on repeat without end.”
The brutal truth is, running the day-to-day of an agency is chaotic.
You thought starting an agency might give you freedom and mastery over your destiny.
You started building the agency out.
First you struggled with getting clients, then you struggled fulfilling for those clients. Then you started growing, bit by bit, fighting up that mountain to the very top with tooth and claw. All the while you are dragging that boulder’s weight all the way with you to the summit.
Suddenly, a key employee for your fulfillment quits. The boulder gets heavier.
Suddenly, a whale client churns. The boulder’s weight becomes too much.
Suddenly, profit is halved. Now the boulder is pushing you back down without remorse.
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly without end.
You find yourself doing several jobs all at once. You’re grinding, you’re living a cursed hustler lifestyle.
You got sales calls, you got fulfillment to do, and you still haven’t had the time to create a marketing funnel for your own agency much less what your clients are demanding of you. And what about taxes? Your employee’s benefits? How about that shrinking margin despite more revenue?
The very act of growing has now trapped you in a vicious cycle.
A cycle all too common for agency owners.
“The AOA was built to break this cycle, to redefine your journey as an agency owner. All without adding more to your plate, but to help you work on your business rather than being trapped inside of it.”
Yet, none of these scenarios above needs to be your reality.
Why it is a brutal truth that agencies can be chaotic, here’s another truth:
There is no better business model that can give you mastery over your life, and provide such immense wealth-building opportunities as the agency model.
The key to going from struggling to success often comes down to just a few critical components - better education, mentors with a proven track record, and a community of like-minded individuals all with the same goal that you can be vulnerable and transparent with.

Here’s the raw truth…
There are many marketing agency communities out there helping people get from $0 to $10k per month. But there are none that help you go from high six-figures all the way up to eight-figures.
None
The AOA is different because our community is farther along the path. In fact, some of our members are already in the 8-figure range and on the path to even greater revenue numbers.
You are already a profitable agency owner, a rare breed indeed.
You might be struggling with one or maybe all the things talked about already on this page. Or maybe something else is holding you back. Maybe it is something you don’t even realize.
And that’s perfectly okay.
Because our community WILL realize what is holding you back and more importantly, help you remove that bottleneck.
Our agency members span the entire globe across a wide spectrum of marketing services. We have legends of local lead generation, we have AOA members doing enterprise level digital transformation campaigns, and agencies specializing in taking brands from one market to global expansion.
Unlike other communities where you are swimming with other ducks just trying to get started, the AOA is a nest of eagles already flying.
Eagles that are ready to answer your every question.
Eagles that can help you with every failure, cause more often than not… they’ve failed in the exact same way and had to overcome it.
You won’t be alone in our community.
You will be able to ask every question, share every challenge, and celebrate every triumph.

Join the Most Advanced Agency Community Without Breaking the Bank - All for Less than a Single Client’s Monthly Retainer
Many of our members have clients paying them anywhere between $5,000 to $15,000 per month.
Sometimes more.
The AOA’s goal is to give you a clear and accessible path to hitting multiple 7-figures or even 8-figures as an agency owner. You will get access to myself, Eric Siu, and my partner Neil Patel who runs his own 9-figure agency and all the other AOA members for just $5,000 annually.
I have personally paid tens of thousands of dollars to get access to a variety of mentors, associations, memberships and more. But I wanted to bring it down to something that is realistic for a profitable agency owner that is struggling with scaling.
At $5,000 for your yearly membership, you literally only need to use our education and community to get a single client to pay for the entire year.
The AOA Promise
At $5,000 for your yearly membership, you literally only need to use our education and community to get a single client to pay for the entire year.
We have zero interest in taking your money if you don’t get any value from our community.
That’s not what the AOA is about.
Our goal is to challenge and transform your life as an agency owner. As a fellow business owner, you know what we mean. We want to impact your bottom line in a positive way. If after 90 days you have not used our education and community to make back your membership fees, then we will refund you that money.
No questions asked. No risk to you.
Here’s the deal though…
If the AOA was only going to teach you how to get a single client, maybe I would be worried. I am not worried however, because the AOA’s goal is to teach you how to become the owner of an 8-figure marketing agency.
I did say you have to be growth minded, didn’t I?
AOA FAQs
I don’t have a lot of time for another community with my busy schedule. Is the AOA still worthwhile for me even if I can’t attend everything?
Answer: The short answer? Yes.
The AOA is designed as a community first and foremost. The more you can participate, the better the payoff will be for you. However, we all get how busy agency owners are. We’re doing a lot of things all at once at any given time.
That is why we designed the AOA to have plenty of ways for you to fit it in your schedule. Our On Demand Learning center is available to you 24/7 with all of our content. Every live call is recorded and published for everyone’s benefit inside the community. We also edit and clip these calls into bite size 5-10 minute chunks if there is a valuable stand alone lesson that can benefit an agency owner.
This saves you time from having to watch an entire hour long video when you’re only looking for a specific golden nugget.
Plus, we transcribe everything and provide those transcriptions for you.We do recommend participating in at least one weekly call though. If you can commit to that, then we can also commit to starting to help you stop being so busy and overwhelmed

You’re a Question Away From Everything You Want
You know the value of the AOA, and if you’re reading this, it’s safe to assume you are open to joining the AOA.
Remember at the start of this page? Remember how my agency was flailing, nosediving and soon-to-be nonexistent?
Everything changed for me when I asked my lame question to the person that had the right experience to answer it for me.
The AOA is your place to ask questions that you may not feel comfortable asking out in the wild. It is your safe space with like-minded agency entrepreneurs who all want to see you grow.
After all, we have likely made similar mistakes or asked similar questions ourselves.
The answer I got all those years ago has led to me fundamentally changing my entire life. Because of the community I fostered over the years, I’ve had the honor of changing many peoples’ lives, many whom I consider dear friends.
Now, I am inviting you to join the AOA if you are a profitable agency owner seeking to overcome the struggle, and to scale to a level you may never had imagined before.
I am inviting you to come into the community, and ask the question that may just change your trajectory forever.
See you on the inside,
Eric Siu
CEO & Founder
P.S Keep in mind our AOA Promise.
This absolutely needs to be valuable to you.
If you do not make your annual membership fee back within 90 days, I will personally refund your entry fee. My goal is to help you get to that next level while giving you that opportunity at zero risk to you.
