For Consultants: Earn More, More Easily in 2012

by Samantha Hartley on November 22, 2011

Is your consulting practice a far cry from the business you dreamed of owning? Does it feel less like an empowering, exhilarating business and more like… well… a job?

If you’re like most consultants, you’re on a constant hunt for clients. Small biz clients are strapped for cash, and corporations are slower than ever to pay. When you have work, you’re too busy to market; and when you don’t have work — oh, let’s not even go there.

Believe it: you can transform your business into a full-time JOY for yourself – with steady revenues, increasing profits and more free time. Let me tell you how … but first – why are so many consultants out there still struggling?

Even Successful Consultants Have a HUGE Vulnerability

After I left my corporate job at The Coca-Cola Company over a decade ago, I started out with an offline model. My only revenue stream was one-on-one consulting, and my marketing was word-of-mouth and networking. Luckily, I had the powerful connections to create a 6-figure business my first year out, but …

Break your leg and your business is toast. How much will you make 4 months from now? Who knows?!

There’s no predictability in consulting.

Even my colleague who makes $1M per gig (omg, right?) stresses about finding his next client and having zero months. For me, those days are o-v-e-r …

Your Consulting Practice Needs a New Business Model

Today most of my revenues are from streams besides one-on-one consulting. I work personally only with a select group of Platinum-level clients who are ultra-committed to implementing and seeing results.

I reach thousands of prospects with the click of a mouse, and nearly all my clients come to me through my website. They are precisely the socially-responsible small business owners and solopreneurs I love to work with.  I still have clients in Canada, Beijing, South Africa and, yes, Little Rock (just 25 minutes away), but I mentor them from my peaceful home office, surrounded by my dogs and cat.

Most consultants feel they must sacrifice either business success or life balance. It’s just not true!

P.S. More of a coach than a consultant, but curious? It’s okay. I won’t be checking ID at the door.
