In this short promotional video, Eric Deeran advises creatives who earn a solid salary but also do side video and creative projects on how to transition to running their own agency. He emphasizes the first essential step: calculate the income required to safely leave the full‑time role. Using a concrete example, he shows that a $10,000‑per‑month salary can be replaced by securing two retainer clients each paying $5,000 per month, making the goal feel manageable. He then invites viewers to click a link to a follow‑up video that outlines the remaining steps for growing an agency and exiting their current job.

If you're making a lot of money in your full-time creative role, but you're also doing video and creative projects on the side and you thought to yourself, what if I could just get more clients to actually leave my full-time role? Here's how you do it. Number 1, you need to calculate what you need to make to leave the full-time role. That way you're not putting yourself at risk. So if you're making $10K a month in your full-time role, you would need 2 clients paying you $5K a month on retainer. And when you break it down like that, it doesn't sound as daunting as it seems. So if you want to learn the other steps about how you can actually do this and how you can grow your own agency and leave the full-time role that you're in, click the link below. I put together a short video on on the next page. Check it out. We'll see you there.
