Ever thought to yourself, “I’m sick of working in corporate. I want to try going out on my own.”? Well, you’re not alone. Lots of people think that, maybe multiple times per day.
It can be pretty amazing, and it can be downright scary. If you are thinking about it, or you’ve done it and you want to share war stories, this is the talk for you. I’ll share my raw, unfiltered journey as an independent consultant, I’ll share three key lessons, and I’ll take any and all questions.
Maybe, just maybe, I can help you avoid the mistakes I’ve made and help you do more of what has worked!
