Truth revealed : He Scaled a Solo Agency to 15k MRR and Told Me His 3 Most Expensive Mistakes

“The candid story of how one developer’s journey from freelancer to agency owner almost ended in disaster — and the hard-learned lessons that saved his business”

I still remember the panic in Andy’s voice when he called me at 2 AM on a Tuesday. He’d just lost his biggest client — a $4,000/month retainer that represented nearly a third of his revenue. His web development agency, which had grown to $15,000 MRR in just 18 months, was suddenly hemorrhaging money faster than a startup with a caffeine addiction.

“I think I might have to shut down,” he whispered into the phone.

But Andy didn’t shut down. Instead, he did something that would completely transform his business: he got brutally honest about the three massive mistakes that had nearly killed his agency. Today, his business is stronger than ever, and the portfolio Andy built at www.andygarcia.pro became the blueprint for avoiding the same pitfalls.
