INTRODUCING...
For corporate executives, seasoned entrepreneurs, and unfulfilled agency owners who are too busy earning a living to make any serious money and build something that matters.
As the digital and commercial world evolves, so does the temptation for quick gains, short term planning, and the increasing and dreadful addiction to shiny objects that look good and smell great.
The truth is many of these systems and opportunities look good from far, but are far from good.
For most of us, serious players, the real gains lie in building business legacies that endure the test of time, and increase in enterprise value, in spite of economic volatility, politics, or even global instability.
Making these real gains is no doubt a daunting task, but indispensable for genuine success, and personal fulfillment and meaning in our lives.
But how are entrepreneurs, and new and established agency owners going to accomplish this?
How are they going to breathe new life into their old and antiquated agencies, with their roller coaster revenue system and teeter-totter-like operational processes?
When in fact most of them dread the work they do day in and day out, while also feeling the need to keep up with short term thinking and the latest flavor of the month marketing tactic, which they then pass right on to their clients.
But I’ll get into the meat of that question in just a minute…
First I want to tell you what Legacy Agency Builders IS NOT… so you don’t waste your precious time with the hopes of finding something totally opposite to what I’m offering, getting massively upset at me and holding a grudge for life…
So here it is.
LAB is NOT… A funnel application system making outrageous profit claims and a path to easy money. No plaques will be given here, only referrals to world class attorneys and private bankers to help you figure out what to do with your newfound wealth.
LAB is NOT… A mastermind with a sole focus on inner game and mindset, without real world application, infrastructure building, in addition to promising zero chance at failing to reach your goals. There will be trials, tribulations, and moments of doubt and fear. But you will overcome these if you're ready. If you’re not ready, you will drop out of the program.
LAB is NOT… A DFY (done for you)–4 hour work week approach to legacy building. Let me say this right now. That dream doesn’t exist, at first –it only becomes possible after you’ve built it, never during, and certainly not at the start. But you’ll have a partner in me that will go toe2toe with you 100% of the time to get us there!
Are you with me so far? …Great!
Now before we get into the crust of what Legacy Agency Builders can do for you, there is another, I’d call it… “single principle” that’s critical to your success in this program.
A stand alone consideration that reigns supreme above all others. Yup, you better believe there is. And, I can communicate it to you in just four words:
BUILD SOMETHING YOU LOVE!
Look, I get calls from people asking for marketing help and solutions to a particular problem they have. I love helping people, it strokes my ego, I like the attention and the difference I can make in their lives. I get amazing recommendations like this one for example that says:
Before Ed, we were stuck in a cycle of low-paying clients and stagnant growth. But in just a couple of months, Ed's strategic insights and hands-on approach helped us refine our focus, streamline our operations, and significantly increase our profitability. We went from struggling with a handful of clients to thriving with nearly 20 high-value partnerships. I'm now making more money than at any point since starting my agency.
— Brent Nickles
That’s an amazing result isn’t it?
Now Brent has a lot going for him. He’s smart, focused, he listens to other smart people, and he takes immediate action on what he learns. But most of all…
HE LOVES WHAT HE DOES!
It’s why we’re partners, and why he’s successful. I respect, admire, and love that about him. His clients adore him, not only because of the results he delivers, but because he’s 150% committed and invested in their success, and you can see and feel that about him!
If you don’t love working with people, seeing their faces light up when a breakthrough happens, and meeting them where they’re at in their journey, during good and bad times… Then the Legacy Agency Builders program may not be a good fit for you.
Why? Because…
NO ONE CAN EVER BE
SUCCESSFUL BUILDING SOMETHING OF
WHICH HE IS NOT PROUD!
You can tell this is a stickler for me can’t you? Well it is, because I’ve seen my share of talented people wasting away their God-given talents peddling products and services they actually hate promoting.
But enough of my rant on the matter… How about this? How about if I work with you 1-on-1 for as long as it takes, and help you build a profitable, legacy driven, asset based, digital marketing agency.
A recession proof business for the 21st Century you love and can be proud of, and that (if you wish to) you can sell for 50 times what you paid for it and still be ROIng you way more than full value?
I’m going to assume you’re at least curious enough to keep going… So here we go!
So now that I got all that “Love What You Do” business off my chest… here’s the best definition I could muster of what Legacy Agency Builders is:
Legacy Agency Builders –is a business building methodology that offers a transformative journey for mission-driven individuals who aim not just to build and expand their digital marketing agency but to forge a lasting asset-based legacy. We’re talking generational wealth here!
Its secret to success lies in a dual focus approach…
On one hand, it promises the tangible benefits of growth and scalability, while amplifying your agency's reach, enhancing its influence, and securing financial prosperity beyond your wildest dreams.
On the other, it champions the intangible yet measurable reward of legacy building — the pride and joy in crafting a business that radiates purpose, impacts the people you mean to serve, and stands the test of time.
However, as righteous and profitable as this path is… It’s not without challenges!
The digital marketing landscape is notoriously competitive and ever-changing, demanding constant innovation and resilience from those who wish to stake their claim in it.
The stark difference between those who succeed in building a legacy and those who fail often hinges on ADAPTABILITY, STRATEGIC FORESIGHT, and an unwavering commitment to their VISION.
Success as a Legacy Agency Builder requires more than just ambition –it demands a willingness to lifelong learning, to evolve, and to frequently pivot in response to sudden shifts in the marketplace.
It's about recognizing that while the tools and tactics for growth are universally accessible, the ability to weave them into a purpose-driven narrative of enduring impact is what separates the pros from the hobbyists.
In simpler terms…

Envision yourself for a second at the helm of a digital marketing mini-empire that's not just at the forefront of the industry in terms of innovation and outcomes… but also stands as a living tribute to your deepest aspirations, core values, and inspired leadership.
Imagine an agency that is more than a business—but also a reflection of your personal ethos, setting standards, and defining excellence in your industry.
I don’t know about you, but I get goosebumps just thinking about it!
This agency doesn't just chase success; it embodies it, providing you with the freedom to live the life you've always envisioned, earning admiration and respect from peers, and making a meaningful difference in the wider world.
As a Legacy Agency Builder, your agency becomes the conduit through which your professional aspirations and personal dreams merge, creating a powerful synergy that drives your success.
This isn't just about building a successful business; it's about creating a beacon of excellence that lights the way for others in the industry, leaving a lasting imprint in the wake of your path.
This is the essence of what I consider true achievement and the ultimate reason for crafting a legacy that endures, PLUS is what I’ver personally done in my entrepreneurial career and with my own agency!

If or when you’re chosen to enroll in Legacy Builders, you get immediate access to —the great works and maps that I’ve followed to be extremely successful in the business ventures I’ve embarked on, and in our digital marketing agency Realiiz, I’ve built with my sons as well.
Here’s what we’ll accomplish together (through your agency) in the next 12 months:
Build & Increase Your MRR
(monthly recurring revenue)
I will give you (and train you on) my sales & onboarding process (to start adding new MRR right away). I used this very same process to increase sales in my last business venture from $0 to $34M in 12 months.
I will give you my case studies to use as your own when selling. My results are your results, because you will be using my process and already-trained team. Why start from zero when you can start from an already proven level of success!
You’ll get access to all my SOPs (standard operating procedures) docs for sales & operations (to whitelabel and use as your own). If we were treasure hunting, THIS is the map where X marks the spot!
Increase Your FREE Time
I will hire and train a full-time SEO tech, media buyer, ad deployment, and web design team (so you can stop doing these tasks IMMEDIATELY and focus in selling and making strategic strategic decisions instead : )
I will also COVER THE COSTS of your new tech team's salary (until you're profitable enough to do so : )
I will manage them (daily) for you (for as long as you need, to relieve you from that burden and help you focus on growth!)
I will fulfill all your SEO tasks, and manage customers (until your new team is able to do it on their own!) This is TRULY a partnership!
I will custom build a white-labeled training system that you can take and use as your own, for all future SEO techs, media buyers, web design team, and sales people, too.
I will also show you how (and when) to replace yourself with a team of closers.
Increase Customer Satisfaction
I will give you (and train you on) my customer experience process (so your churn is near zero, like mine : )
I will give you (and train you on) my follow up / communication process (this may be the #1 thing that can save your business)
Increase Your Enterprise Value
I will give you (and help you implement) a business plan for your agency that's designed to be attractive to buyers, so if / or, when the time comes to sell, you're ready. This will give you peace of mind and exciting exit options. YES, agencies can be sold for impressive multiples these days - especially when built correctly, which we will do, together!
I will give you all my forecasting & tracking systems (to KNOW what to expect, what's working & what's not)
I will give you my financial tracking (and exit plan) system, too (so you know how far away you are from hitting your target valuation every single day)...
No more winging it and wondering. You'll know where you’re at, at every point in your journey!

Let's go!!
My close friends and colleagues think I’ve lost it by offering ONLY 50 qualified people access to the Legacy Agency Builders program.
And it doesn’t matter how many times I explain it, they still think I’m demented!
So let me make this point as clear as possible… because you’ve never (and to my knowledge neither have I) seen or even heard of a program like this one.
This is not a DIY program, it’s the ultimate combination of a DFY/DWY (done for you / done with you) program!
I NEED YOU TO SUCCEED because I’m a minority partner in your success.
If I don’t help you WIN, I don’t win either, and I’m not in it for the tuition…
I’m in it for a 3-10X valuation at exit with you, a small percentage of the profits ongoing if you decide not to sell (I’m fine with that option also), and LEGACY Building of course!
In case you have doubts...
Also, and I’m not saying this is you… but even if you're starting from a position of doubt or uncertainty, or have a history of past failures…
Our structured approach and mentorship strategy to legacy building is designed to guide you every step of the way, ensuring your vision becomes a reality at your own pace and timeline.
Success the Legacy Agency Builders way typically starts to show a couple of months into the program.
I define success in the context of 5-7K per mo engagements, and quickly build on that momentum.
I’m with you step by step for a whole year, but we’re looking to start getting clients and making money right away.
This part is easier than you think. But you have to believe you can do it.
Remember, you’re not alone. You have me as your partner.
Another dear-to-my-heart point I need to make
super clear regarding the program.
I will not take your investment/tuition, under any circumstance, no exceptions, if I don’t think you’re financially able, mindset ready, and at a point in your life where I believe you can totally crush it in this program!
I know this sounds like a cheap reverse psychology tactic to get you to want something you’re being chosen for, meaning the decision is not entirely up to you, so unconsciously you’ll start to seek my approval…
But I assure you, it is not.
Because as I’ve said before, I’m not looking for subscribers, clients, or students.
I’m looking for serious entrepreneurs who are open to starting a venture with a minority partner, and who can afford to do so, in time, commitment, and investment.
If you think this is you, I’d love to meet you.
Personal Sacrifices: Reasonable vs Unreasonable
In the relentless pursuit of success, it’s all too easy for the pillars of your personal life and core values to start crumbling under the weight of ambition.
Yet, the ethos of Legacy Agency Builders firmly asserts that true achievement doesn't demand such unreasonable sacrifices.
You don’t need to neglect your health and family, sleep 4 hrs a night, or become an eccentric narcissistic jackass to be wildly successful here.
All you need to do is follow my program, work with me, and believe in yourself.
What Does The Program Look Like?
On the surface, meaning the user-interface, is no different than any other course of program you’ve taken before…
You get login credentials assigned to you.
You get access to Content Categories, which contain Modules, which have Lessons.
Lessons which contain strategies, tactics, SOPs, videos, audio, case studies, bonuses, templates, documents, weekly coaching, content library, personal accounts, and much more!
You get my personal agency tools, tracking tools, client reporting dashboards, and financial templates.
Everything I use to run my agency I’ll share with you, and help you implement.
You’ll never be alone on this journey!
