Transcript

So you want to start consulting but you don't know where to start. You found the right page. Before you build the website, before you build the pitch deck, before you figure out your fancy branding and logo, and definitely before you quit your job, I want you to do this first. Write down three business problems that you have solved in your career. No doubt you already have marketable skills. What we need to understand is what are you expert at? Because that's what you're going to be hired for. That's it. That's all you're doing today for day one.
