Ep 20 - Why Six-Figure Freelancers Still Feel Broke: The Hidden Fragility Behind ‘Success
You can be brilliant, well-paid, fully booked, and still feel like your business could collapse next Tuesday.
So many high-earning consultants—especially technical experts like QSs, engineers, and specialist freelancers—quietly carry the same fear:
“Why does my business still feel unstable… even though I’m making great money?”
In this episode, we break down the uncomfortable truth:
We explore:
🔹 The illusion of being “established”
High income, happy clients, strong delivery—and yet, a business that still feels one bad month away from collapse.
🔹 The emotional cost of project-to-project survival
Why so many experts live with quiet anxiety despite visible success.
🔹 The corporate safety net you lost when you went solo
Framework agreements, BD teams, consistent inbound demand…the machine you never noticed was holding you up.
🔹 The “Delivery Trap”
How high-performing specialists accidentally sabotage their own stability.
🔹 The 6 systems that turn fragility into predictability
A narrow, magnetic niche
A defined offer (not services)
Predictable inbound leads
A recurring revenue baseline
Value-based pricing
A simple, sustainable client-acquisition path
This episode is the blueprint for turning a six-figure solo practice into a self-sustaining business engine—one that produces stability, predictability, and long-term confidence.
