For almost 15 years, Firlie and Raegan tried different ways to make business work.

They built and managed e-commerce websites, experimented with different opportunities, and eventually reached a point where they felt unfulfilled and stuck.

So they sold their websites and started again, with zero cash flow and no clear plan.

Twelve months later, their digital agency had generated $154,000.

In this episode of the Digital Investors Podcast, Matt Raad explores what actually changed.

Firlie and Raegan share how they found their first clients, why Reagan spent hours competing for jobs on Airtasker, and how networking eventually opened the door to five-figure corporate website projects.

But their biggest breakthroughs weren’t technical.

They had to overcome perfectionism, learn to trust other people with their work, and challenge the belief that earning more money meant working more hours.

It’s a conversation about the uncomfortable decisions, small opportunities, and mindset shifts that helped two experienced entrepreneurs finally build a business they were excited about.

Today, You Will Learn:

  • How Reagan generated over $20,000 in website projects using Airtasker, despite competing against bargain-priced freelancers.
  • How a simple LinkedIn profile update led to an unexpected networking opportunity.
  • How a small SEO project turned into a five-figure website deal with a multimillion-dollar technology company.
  • Why hiring help was one of their biggest mental hurdles.
  • How they stopped measuring their worth by the hours they worked and started building a business that could grow beyond them.
