Most mid to late career technical professionals who move into consulting do not fail because of their skills.
They stumble because they bring the wrong assumptions with them.
The result:
- Months without paid work
- Undercharging that quietly eats into savings
- Going from respected expert to feeling like an invisible amateur.
To help with this, I have put together a short, focused 5-day email course: The Consulting Jumpstart Blueprint
The 5 Biggest Mistakes Mid- to Late-Career Technical Professionals Make When Moving From Employee to Consultant (and How to Fix Them Fast)
Over 5 days, we cover:
- Day 1: Bringing an employee mindset into consulting
- Day 2: Positioning yourself too broadly
- Day 3: Pricing based on time instead of value
- Day 4: Selling your technical expertise instead of your advisory judgment
- Day 5: Relying on your old network instead of building a visibility engine
It is designed specifically for engineers, scientists, and other technical professionals who are:
- Considering going solo in the next 6–12 months, or
- Already consulting but not seeing the momentum or fees they expected.
If that is you, this course will help you avoid some expensive early mistakes and move faster toward a sustainable consulting practice.
