In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I've been quietly doing over the past year - helping senior executives design their strategic exit from corporate into B2B consulting. The market is noisy right now, full of ‘replace your corporate salary in 90 days’ promises. But here's the truth: if you've been quietly exploring the idea of consulting for years, if there's a layoff on the horizon, or if that big birthday milestone is making you ask ‘is this really what I want for the next 10-20 years?’, you don't need to...

Quotes:
“If you build your business right, it will not be difficult to make your first $100K in annual revenue as a B2B consultant.”
“I always say to my clients that the $0-$100K phase of a consulting business can actually feel like the hardest one to crack because you're validating the business. You're selling something sometimes for the first time in your career. And worse than that, you're selling yourself for the first time, which can feel so deeply uncomfortable.”
“So often I speak to women who want to plan it out so that it's perfect, and then when they know it's guaranteed to work, then they'll put it out in the world. And I have to say, with love - no, no and no - this isn't how entrepreneurship works. There are messy workarounds and creative gaps and best guesses that we road test in the real world by talking to people.”
