Hey! Thanks a lot man. I think it's this article that i came across: ltse.com/insights/why-you-should-be-cautious-about-raising-money?

but i usually just ready different articles/books on tech & startups and loads of people are talking about the risk of overfunding & spending too much

@@vladtgr I agree. Over funding can be risky in many ways. I like the Lean start up book. Great insights too.

@@ashok3733 Lean start up is really great. Emphasizes more on quick prototype

@@vladtgr Thanks a lot man 😀😀

Does it means it’s time for a skincare routine vlog ?? 😅😅🤣🤣

@@vladtgr haha good one

Literally snowing today 😅🤣

@@vladtgr and now love how today is sunny! You have to London the british weather 😅

Hey Richard! Appreciate the support man !! Good luck with your vlogs too. Just followed you back. 🙌

😅😅

Hey! 100% it’s always about keeping things simpler and structuring things one step at a time. Will get back to you now on ig ! Was away for a couple of days to Paris so been super slow with replies :)

@ no worries. Love you ❤️

Thanks a lot for your support! 🙏

Really happy for you man!! People for sure estimate the power/effect of being an “agency”

@@vladtgr Exactly

Glad you enjoying them Dan! Thanks for the support 🙏

Appreciate you for the consistent support man! You got my IG , so reach out there if you ever need anything too 🙌

@@vladtgr Sure thing! Keep up the great work ❤

Great to connect!! We don’t need any editor at the moment. But shoot me an email so I could reach out when we need support ? vlad@tgr.agency

Great to connect here! Let me know if you got any questions so I could answer them in some of the future vlogs

I think the principal you call "value creator" needs an episode on its own​@@vladtgr

So previously I would just simply get interrupted and do the job that client needs. I think there is no other way to be honest when you are just starting out … but as I’ve grown there is two things I do: 1)I delegate a lot of tasks to my team now. 2) I try to strictly block time. So let’s say I’ve set aside two hours for operational tasks for today. I will try to do as much as I can today within those 2 hours and then continue tomorrow in the next “operational” time slot. But again, at the very beginning I think it’s fine if clients/jobs interrupt your workflow, cause the aim is to simply grow …

@@vladtgr Thanks for the reply. Roll over to the next available slot is a good idea. I always just carry on until the tasks in the specific type are complete, but that knackers other things I need to do. I work as a self-employed (ltd company though) client website 'agency' building WordPress websites. I haven't wanted to grow the business as I am very happy with not having additional stress of employees etc, however my client base is so large now that I think I am going to have to get another person on board, as a lot of time is taken up by operations and client interupptions that to get the 'work' done is getting trickier! Need to nail the time keeping. Thanks again.

Maybe try to automate/streamline processes as much as you can first. We have all our processes documented in notion so that anyone could pretty much do any task. I am lately building internally a lot of ai agents to help me out with stuff too (will take you like 30-45 min to build one). If that doesn’t help maybe get a virtual assistant just to help you out 5-10 hours a week. But don’t see a VA as an employee, it’s more of the extra hands that work based on your specific guidelines.

@@vladtgr Thank you for the advice. I don't automate much at the moment - I will look further into it. Have you got any examples of what you would use an AI agent for? Good idea with the vitual assistant. Looking into this now. Thanks for the advice!

So here is an example (purely based on my company’s needs): from time to time we have some projects, where we need additional support. I have an ai agent, where I briefly mention the job and scope, ai agent automatically writes a more detailed job post, figures out an average realistic budget for the job, sets the timelines, etc etc. we then literally just copy that, change a bit and post that on some freelance platforms. This is of course just one small example. Hope this helps. If you need any free further advice - email me vlad@tgr.agency

Really appreciate your support, thanks 🙏

Will do 🫡

Thanks for the support! Sure, let’s catch up. DM me on any of the platforms 🙌 good luck with content !!

😅😅

But it’s interesting how it actually might work. I mean look at Tamagochi in the past, was super popular. Might play out in the same way , who knows …

My point is that in my opinion they are failing with experimenting/innovating overall as a company (not just iPhone). Apple Vision Pro though is looking really promising 🙌

@@vladtgr sorry for misunderstanding Didn't hear you say that they didn't experiment/innovate or I just forgot.

Thanks Ben!! 🫡

Will try to improve next time ! Thanks for feedback

Yeah I get what you mean but just trying to make all these talks sound not so boring

Exactly, TOO much debating over frameworks, approaches, etc etc. Speed AND seeing the bigger picture is becoming the main factor

@@vladtgr At the end of the day, shipping the product and solving real problems is what counts. BTW, love your content. Keep it up!

Thanks a lot for the support ! 🙌

🙌🙌🙌

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks a lot for your feedback! Glad you are enjoying the content so far 🙏

Appreciate the support !

Super hard to give an exact & simple answer. I think the “easiest” thing to do is to start from understanding very specific problems in your space and not even think about any tech. Once you understand and define a specific problem, then start brainstorming whether any emerging hot tech could solve that problem and more importantly how. I see tech as a means to solve some problem , otherwise you will end up using something for the sake of it. Hope this helps.

Super underrated 🙏

Hope you enjoyed it! 🙏

@@vladtgr Always mate ! Keep up the good job!

Really glad that you are enjoying them and that my thoughts/vision resonates with you 🙏

100% Mark. Online will never replace in person meetings 🚀

The director man himself here 🙏🙏🙏

Yes, 100% correct man. From my experience what i see is if you “force” any solution, then in 1,6,12 months it will be obvious to the client that you’ve ok purpose forced tools/solutions that weren’t a 100% fit for them. And then that would damage the relationship. What I sometimes do is tell the client that for example some solution is a 80% fit for them and tell them about all possible risks. And they still want to go ahead with us. So don’t look at it just black and white.

@@vladtgr oh right. thanks man. helpful insight

Yesssss. See you soon, come to London man !!

Thanks 🙏

🙏🙏🙏

Hey Paddy!! Really glad that this was helpful. Will try to add more practical info into next vlogs too. Let me know if you got any specific questions!

​@@vladtgr Have you ever encountered situations where a client’s needs or instructions change in the middle of a project? How do you handle these changes to protect your studio’s resources while maintaining a good relationship with the client?

@@yoosinpaddy will answer these in the coming vlogs 👌

Had a small conversation with him, he is such a cool and genuine human in person too !!

Thanks a lot for the support and feedback! Sure, I will be putting out more and more vlogs like that with more valuable content, real projects, practical insights, etc. Let me know if you got any specific questions, so I could address them in the next coming vlogs! 🫶

@@vladtgr My Question would be: What are the top 3 things you've learned that contribute most to successfully completing projects and improving your studio's profile and reputation with clients?

Will cover that 🙏

Glad to hear that! 🙏
