SaaS Dads Season 3, Episode 3: He Died Twice, Then Rebuilt His Life & Business | SaaS Dads with Dakota Routh

SaaS Dads is back with Dakota Routh, 4X SaaSPRENEUR Award Winner, the man behind Agency Support for HighLevel, and CEO of White Label Suite. But this episode starts somewhere very different from SaaS. In 2015, Dakota experienced a serious medical emergency after years of stomach problems. His gallbladder had ruptured, he later developed sepsis, and during the ordeal his heart stopped twice. His wife and children were there for part of that experience, and Dakota shares what it was like waking up after a medically induced coma and eventually realizing what his family had been through. That experience changed the way he looked at his life, his family and his businesses. Dakota and Gary talk about: 👉 Dying twice and waking up after five days in a medically induced coma 👉 The impact the experience had on his wife and children 👉 Going through depression and rebuilding his strength after leaving hospital 👉 Why family now comes first in the decisions Dakota makes 👉 Choosing experiences with his family over possessions 👉 Building businesses that give him the freedom to spend more time with them 👉 Bootstrapping his businesses rather than relying on outside funding 👉 How Agency Support for HighLevel started with Dakota, his wife and two VAs 👉 Building a team that eventually allowed him to step away from the day-to-day 👉 Why Dakota believes people need to treat a HighLevel business like a real business 👉 The three challenges he regularly sees people face when trying to build with HighLevel 👉 Why trying to do sales, marketing, operations and technical work yourself can hold you back 👉 Why Dakota says you should know whether something can be done not necessarily how to build it yourself 👉 Managing ongoing kidney disease after losing one kidney 👉 The importance of health, exercise and taking care of yourself while building a business 👉 Finding something bigger than yourself that keeps you moving when things get difficult   Dakota’s message toward the end of the conversation is simple: Things are going to get difficult.   The question is whether you have something important enough to keep you moving forward when they do.   Connect with Dakota Routh: Free GHL Resources: ⁠https://agencyownersupport.com/free-agency-resources⁠   Agency Support for HighLevel: ⁠https://agencyownersupport.com/⁠ GHL Playbook: ⁠https://ghlplaybook.com/⁠ ⁠LinkedIn⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠   👉 This is where it starts.
