Feeling like you're building your agency on vibes and caffeine?

You're not alone. The first few years of running a social media management business can feel like nonstop improvising—especially when no one talks about the behind-the-scenes mistakes we all make.

In this anniversary episode, Shanté reflects on 7 real mistakes made while building Sugarpunch Marketing from scratch—and shares exactly what she’d do differently if she were starting over today.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clearer understanding of when (and how) to niche
  • What to include in a portfolio clients actually care about
  • Why building systems beats hustling harder
  • What personal branding has to do with client trust
  • How to manage finances in a way that protects your peace

This isn’t theory. It’s the systems, scripts, and boundaries that helped Sugarpunch scale—without selling out.
