Launch your independent consulting business

👋 Hey all!

Ever since I started this newsletter and shared my own story of leaving the 9-5, the #1 question I’ve gotten is “How do I work part-time”. While I’ve been able to share advice here and there in the newsletter, my goal has been to start creating more explicit guides on all the different ways to work part-time.

Lucky for me I discovered that Bradley Jacobs, who we’ve interviewed on the podcast, already created a toolkit for starting your own consulting business. Independent consulting is the most common path to controlling your own hours.

This playbook is excellent. I am using it myself to help refine my consulting pitch and get more recurring business. This isn’t a Gal Gadot Huawei situation, I would only bring an offer to readers if I felt it could genuinely be helpful and I believed in it myself.

So why do I like it? This toolkit is:

• Concise. It’s not a long book. It’s a set of well curated articles that are quick and to the point. No fluff.

• Actionable. Each section has action items that will take you one step closer to landing your first client and starting on the path of consulting. If you’re willing to put in the work, you will make progress.

• Proven. There’s no snake oil here or get-rich-quick schemes. These are proven strategies that thousands of consultants have used before. It’s not magic, just sound approaches and steps to take.
