We Live to Build How I Built a 7-Figure Agency With a Team in the Philippines
Building a seven-figure, fully remote business is the dream for many entrepreneurs. My guest, Matthew Yahes, CEO of Extend Your Team, has actually done it. In this interview, he shares how I built a 7-figure agency with a team in the philippines, leveraging highly skilled, mid-career talent to scale his operations. Before finding this success, Matthew shares the hard lessons he learned from two major business failures: a restaurant chain undone by predatory investors and a multi-million dollar e-commerce business wiped out by COVID. This episode is a masterclass in resilience and remote team building. Check out the company: https://www.extendyourteam.com/
