In this episode of In Focus by 7 Wonders, we sit down with Josh Nelson—visionary behind the Seven Figure Agency and founder of Plumbing & HVAC SEO—to unpack how agency owners can scale smart, serve better, and create impact through storytelling and systems.
Josh shares how his early failure in web design led him to discover the power of niching down, building recurring revenue, and delivering real results. He turned these lessons into a $6M+ agency and a thriving mastermind community that's helped over 130 agencies cross the coveted seven-figure mark.
Key Takeaways
Niche to Scale: Josh's success took off when he focused exclusively on the plumbing and HVAC space. This specialization helped him streamline services, craft targeted messaging, and scale faster.
Recurring Revenue is Key: Ditching the one-off project model for monthly retainers was a game-changer. He now coaches others to do the same.
Storytelling Over Stats: Data matters, but stories stick. Josh emphasizes using real client success stories—in podcasts, webinars, and books—to emotionally connect with prospects.
Why Video Content Wins: In a world saturated with AI-generated blogs, authentic video storytelling stands out. Whether it's a polished testimonial or a quick podcast snippet, human-centered video content builds authority and trust.
The 7 Wonders of Growth: By leveraging podcasts, webinars, and community—hallmarks of the 7 Wonders approach—Josh’s method proves that consistency and content creation are non-negotiables for building long-term authority.
Why This Matters
This episode isn’t just about agency growth—it's about how video content and storytelling serve as the ultimate growth multipliers. Whether you're just starting or pushing toward seven figures, showing up authentically through video and narrative is your competitive edge.
