I love your enthusiasm, and surely you will find reception for this message. But...i ran an agency for 18 years. It wasn't a full-on creative, it was performance marketing. But it required me to fire several cylinders of my brain that made it extremely difficult to then fire on my own creative cylinders. Left brain organization and management of people, esp creatives, is not for everyone. Spread sheets anyone? Dozens of them? Personnel evaluations? No-shows? After selling the agency, I was finally able to reapply my own right brain to the world. It is not easy to balance the two sides of the brain as you are suggesting. Just sayin...

Oh I absolutely agree.
I am not talking about being an agency as much as I am about providing more services for the clients that you have.
That is not looking for agency gigs, just adding those services to select clients.
And oh yeah, spreadsheets are probably a part of it, for sure.
