        <![CDATA[<p>Are you a tech founder, or are you just a highly-paid shopkeeper?</p><p>Many IT professionals and software house owners successfully build their revenue to $8,000–$10,000 a month using platforms like Upwork or Fiverr, yet their net profit is virtually non-existent. They are bleeding cash to their developers, micro-managing every line of code, and desperately trying to learn "operations" instead of being the CEO.</p><p>In Episode 2 of Zar Naama, Ali Zar executes a masterclass on the mathematics of scaling an agency.
