Your first & the easiest consulting client should be your current employer. Second and third clients should come from your network etc.
Don’t fall into freelance sites consulting gigs. It will be minimum wage type of work.
- more_corn 5y agoI agree except the current employer part. Current employers are weird. I’ve found they didn’t take me seriously till I was gone. Find past employers who liked you and would want you back, offer to consult on their most pressing issues (I only work on high priority gig value problems. You’ll get a lot of value). Moonlight for a bit to build momentum, quit your day job, reach out to your whole network.
- pkrotich 5y agoI get the weirdness- the key is to leave before it gets weird -/ before bridges are burned.
