How I left my full time job and made $2.5M as an independent consultant

If I can do it, you can too.

You can make great money on your own, but you need to SIMPLIFY your approach and only focus on what matters.

It Starts With Landing Your First $10K Engagement, One Conversation At A Time

I hear it all the time: "Chris, I've been independent for 8 months now. I keep tweaking my website, redoing my LinkedIn, researching my target market... but I'm not landing top clients or making enough money.

I'm starting to wonder if I made a huge mistake leaving my job."

Here's what DOESN'T lead to sales in the beginning:

Having a perfect brand, message, or website

Spending hours trying to guess who your ideal client is

Posting to social media every day

This is all marketing busywork. Lots of effort, but no sales.

You need to get in front of real people and start making offers that clients see as valuable.

Create messaging that works everywhere - from elevator pitches to email outreach to your website - so you never struggle to explain what you do again.

MODULE 4

The Pricing Calculator

You'll Walk Away With:

- Your custom pricing structure based on the outcomes and value you provide, not hours

- How to present your fees so they feel like an obvious investment

- The psychology behind premium pricing that attracts better clients

Never wonder what to charge again with the exact formula I've used to generate over $2.5 million in consulting revenue.
