Corey Quinn
Founder, Deep Specialization™
A few sharp, no-fluff questions to help you cut through the noise and refocus your agency.
Here are 3 questions to reflect on this weekend—designed to spark clarity, challenge assumptions, and push your agency toward growth:
What would need to be true for you to confidently say, “We are the best agency in our vertical”?
What’s one belief about growth you’ve held onto that might actually be holding you back?
What would your business look like if it ran without you for 30 days—would it grow, stall, or unravel?
Take a few minutes and answer each one to yourself. If anything resonates, hit reply. I’d love to hear what comes up for you.
Have a great weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it take to confidently claim being the best agency in a vertical?
That's the point of sitting with the question rather than answering it quickly. What would actually need to be true, results, reputation, expertise, tells you how far off that claim is from reality right now.
How do I find a growth belief that might be holding me back?
Look for something you've held onto that feels true without much scrutiny. Beliefs about how growth "should" work are often the ones worth questioning the most, since they shape decisions without being examined.
What does imagining the business running without me for 30 days actually reveal?
Whether the business would grow, stall, or unravel shows how much still depends on you personally. That answer points directly to where systems and delegation are missing.
Do these questions need detailed written answers?
No, just a few minutes of honest reflection. The value is in what surfaces, not in producing a polished response.
What's the point of sitting with sharp, uncomfortable questions like these?
To cut through noise and challenge assumptions that might be quietly shaping decisions. Clarity often comes from questions like these more than from adding more information or activity.
