I run a few businesses. My agency site [1] is where my marketing services are. I don't sell through the site - it's all word of mouth / client referrals.
I handled the account with I was still at a desk in agency-world (I've since ejected).
As for what is was like, when I stepped back to think about it, it was a little surreal. But, after a while, they're all just numbers, except with more digits. If you hit your main KPIs and keep things under control, it's fun to be able to scale things up with a client where you didn't have to necessarily worry about cash flow.
