**APPLICATIONS CLOSE 12/31/25 FOR IMPACT COLLECTIVE MASTERMIND** Most consultants start their business without a clear roadmap. They rely on referrals, hustle and hope. In this episode, I break down Phase 1 of the Scalable Consulting Firm Method: the Foundations Phase, from $0 to $200K in revenue.

Whether you're consulting full time or part time, this stage can feel intense. You're learning how to deliver client work and run a business at the same time. I share common mistakes to avoid, what to prioritize and why keeping things simple will serve you best.

I also share what kind of coaching support is most helpful at this stage, including how to find the right program or coach to help you build a strong foundation.

P.S. I don't typically work with consultants in this phase, but I want you to have the roadmap so you know what to focus on now and when it makes sense to seek deeper support.
