Why Your Resume Is Killing Your Consulting Business
72% of professionals with 30 or more years of corporate experience step into the open market with no idea what anyone will pay them for.
That is not a capability problem. It is a translation problem, and it is entirely solvable.
In this episode, we break down the specific mechanics of turning a corporate career into a profitable consulting or coaching practice.
We cover the positioning formula that separates invisible generalists from high-earning specialists, the income data that makes the financial case for the second act, and why the instinct to plan everything before acting is the single biggest trap experienced professionals fall into.
You will walk away with a concrete positioning framework, an understanding of why value-based pricing outperforms hourly billing for expertise-based businesses, and a clear view of which delivery model (consulting, coaching, or course/cohort/community) gives you the fastest path to a first paying client.
The data says this works. NBER research tracking IRS and Social Security records shows self-employed professionals at age 55 average about 70% more annually than comparable salaried peers.
The Kauffman Foundation reports that the 55-to-64 age group outpaced every other demographic in new business formation between 2015 and 2024. Your expertise has a market. This episode covers how to reach it.
