How to go fractional (the realistic version)


Listen Later

📚 What You'll Learn
  1. What a fractional role actually is (a senior embedded leader working part-time for multiple companies, not just consulting or freelance work)

  2. Why the fractional job market is harder than people think and can take 3-9+ months to land your first role, requiring network building while still employed

  3. How to balance being the founder of a free community with the reality of needing to pay yourself and avoid resentment

  4. ✍️ Some Takeaways
    • A fractional role is a senior embedded leader position, not synonymous with part-time consulting or freelancing.

    • Landing your first fractional role is harder than it looks and requires strategic network building while you're still employed.

    • Going fractional means becoming your own boss with all the administrative responsibilities nobody talks about.

    • Community monetisation requires balancing giving value with sustainability, especially when resentment starts creeping in.
