Power Play with Dr. EJT: How I Landed My First $1,600 Consulting Contract
Discover how I landed my first $1,600 consulting contract and turned a side hustle into a thriving business! In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my journey, sharing the exact steps I took to secure my first education consulting contract and the mindset it took to bet on myself and start this entrepreneurial path. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow, this video is packed with actionable strategies and inspirational insights to help you move forward with confidence.
**KEY POINTS:**
- Unwavering Belief and Mindset Shifts: Learn how clarity, confidence, and a willingness to bet on yourself can transform your business journey. "I knew I had a gift for coaching and a wealth of knowledge I could offer the world."
- Building Community: Discover the power of leveraging your network to create opportunities. "Your first quarter of a million is sitting in your network."
- Investing in Growth: Even as a principal working a nine-to-five, I believed in my potential and took the first steps to explore consulting.
- Actionable Steps: Start by identifying the people in your network, setting up informational interviews, and clearly articulating your vision. "You don’t need a website or fancy logo. Tap into people who already know your work."
- Resilience and Entrepreneurship: My first contract gave me the confidence to keep going. "If I can make $1,600 in a day, I can make it in half a day, an hour, or even 30 minutes."
Every big business starts with a single step, and this is your sign to take yours. What’s holding you back from reaching out to your network and making that first move? Share your thoughts in the comments!
