Transcript

I think to continue to see a lot of people move from corporate to consulting. There's been a ton written about this topic. People are after freedom and flexibility and having agency over seven days of their week instead of just two. As someone who left corporate four years ago to build my consulting business, I'm not saying that it's easy. I'm just saying that it's happening and it can be done. And if you do it, it can be awesome. If you're thinking about making the transition, don't quit your job, start planning now. You found the right page. I talk a lot about what it takes here. I also have a community and a bundle which includes my starter kit, contract playbook with sample clauses and the AI coach that I built with all of my knowledge and experience to help you figure out things like positioning, niche definition, value proposition, pricing, etcetera. It's all linked in my bio if you want to check it out.
