While most service businesses struggled with longer sales cycles and shrinking margins last year, a small group of owners discovered something different. They broke 3 “sacred rules” of running a service business – and their revenue exploded.
In this video, I reveal:
- The counter-intuitive way to 3x your profit margins
- Why working more hours is actually killing your growth
- The exact system I’d use to build a million-dollar service business in 2025
- How one client deleted 80% of their services and doubled revenue
- The 4-phase roadmap to scale without trading time for money
Based on data from 800+ service businesses we’ve helped transform, I’ll show you the exact framework that’s working right now to build a business that serves you, not traps you.——————————————————————————————————————————————Follow Me On:

☉ 2004-2013: Spent a decade in traditional agencies, working with clients like Pepsi, AT&T, and NY Jets. This was with both agencies and boutique firms before finishing client side at Cabela’s where I hired and managed large and boutique agencies to execute our strategies. Started my own agency on the side.
☉ 2014: Sold my house, quit my job proposed to my now wife, and went all in on my first my first agency. Failed miserably.
☉ 2015-2017: Pivoted and launched [System. ly](http://system.ly/), a marketing automation firm. Grew to about $60-$70k/month serving clients like Dan Martell, Jasmine Star, and Chris Ducker but felt trapped in the traditional agency model that I had just escaped. My mentor Dan told me to get out of the agency model and I did.
☉ 2017: In Feb, accidentally stumbled upon the AltAgency™ model selling my first training and consulting offer. That offer hit a 7-figure run rate in 11 months. Wound down agency revenue to a small number of manageable clients to stay sharp.
☉ 2018-2019: Hit first of many six-figure months with 40%+ profit margins using the new model.
☉ 2020-2022: Doing $1M+ per year but team grew, margins shrank. The stress was overwhelming with constant pressure. Something had to change as I was falling out of love with how we did things.
☉ 2023: Downsized my team, and engineered our business model and my schedule for profit, fun, and freedom. Best profit year to date (47%), took home mid-6-figures in income, working 25 hours a week and clients have been the most happy since we started.
☉ 2024: Team is lean, fun, and highly profitable and doing high 6-figures in income/profit working 3-4 days per week. I take both my kids to and from school every day, mountain bike on Wednesdays and Fridays, and enjoy multiple family vacations each year. I make these videos to share how the AltAgency™ model works for me and how it’s helped over 800+ other agency owners and service providers escape the trap of the traditional agency. I want to show you how to build a wildly profitable business that gets you paid for your expertise and that serves you, not consumes you.
Let’s blaze a new trail together,
Greg
