In this testimonial, Jared Tangier, founder of the marketing agency Elevated Audience, explains how joining the 7 Figure Agency (7FA) community transformed his business. After shifting from a generalist model to a specialized HVAC niche, his monthly recurring revenue (MRR) rose from about $140,000 to $165,000 while serving 80–100 clients. He implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and built a leadership team, freeing him to act as CEO and focus on growth rather than day‑to‑day operations. Jared describes feeling more inspired and having clear direction, contrasting this with earlier uncertainty about daily high‑impact actions. Attending his first 7FA event, he seeks concrete guidance for the next 60 days to further delegate operational work, learn from peers approaching the $2 M MRR mark, and avoid past mistakes. He emphasizes that regardless of agency size, direction, systems, processes, and community are essential for scaling, and that trying to go it alone led to burnout.

Since joining 7 Figure Agency, my agency has changed in structure. Hi, my name's Jared Tangier. My agency is Elevated Audience, and we just switched from a generalist agency to the HVAC niche. Uh, before joining a couple months ago, we were at about $140,000 MRR. Right now we're at $165,000, um, and we're floating between 80 and 100 clients. My agency has changed in structure. We've really focused on implementing EOS, deploying a leadership team, allowing me to focus on being the CEO and the growth engine behind the company rather than digging deep into operations and deliverables. Uh, since I joined, personally, I'm feeling way more inspired, uh, and I feel like I have a direction. Um, up until August, it was hard for me to know what's the most impactful thing I could do every day to help drive my company forward and hit our next revenue goals and our growth goals. And now I feel like I have that guidance in that direction. Uh, coming to this event, I was really hoping to talk to some of the agencies that have the owners that have been where I am at that approaching $2 million mark, still stuck in some account management, some deliverables, some operations, and figure out from their perspective, what are— what should I accomplish in the next 60 days to help free up my time to allow me to be the, the growth engine? Attending an event like this grows my agency. So it's actually the first event I've ever attended like this, but I, I really believe that I'm going to have the guidance and the direction, some new brilliant ideas, some things to try that other people have done. I always like to look at what can I learn from somebody from the mistakes that they've made to avoid making those mistakes myself, and that's really I think I'm going to take away from this, from this next couple days. Whether you're at $10,000 MRR or $150,000 MRR, you need direction, you need guidance, you need systems, you need processes. Taking somebody else's solutions and making them my own— I thought I could do it on my own. I got burnt out. You need the systems, you need the processes, you need the community. Wherever you are, there's a reason to be here and join the 7FA.
