I sat down today with Sherif Abuzid, the founder of TranslationPartner.com: a digital marketing agency offering translation services with a unique focus on SEO for their partners. We discuss the journey from employee, to freelancer, to agency founder – including all the lessons learned as he quickly scaled to having 10+ employees in his company.

Sherif as a marketer would fall into a common trap of shiny object syndrome, but he quickly realized that to create a sustainable and thriving business, he would need to create systems and processes that were reliable and consistent for his team.

We dive into the exact steps he took to create a thriving online agency that is able to operate for days or weeks without his direct impact.

“By setting up the right systems and processes, I was able to return back to work days later and everything was running like clockwork. It was eye-opening!” Sherif Abuzid.

Some of the key topics covered in today’s interview:

• How to talk to your spouse about your decision to pursue entrepreneurship and leave the safety of your job
• The mindset shift from employee to freelancer to business owner
• How to stand out in a crowded marketplace by creating your own Unique Selling Proposition
• How to thrive as a leader and grow beyond “micro-managing” employees
• What systems and processes can do to automate and improve a business workflow
• How to deal with shiny object syndrome
