    Journey of the German - Building a web design agency

    EXECUTION 
    You don't have to. Become extremely good at providing websites in your niche and then partner with others to do PPC, SEO, SMO, etc. If you stick with restaurant websites, for example, you'll have an easier time getting the contract over the guy providing every initialism under the sun.
