đź’ˇMaking the shift into consultancy or freelancing involves mindset changes and adapting your thinking to a commercial service provider approach - which can be very different from working in-house. đź’ˇ


A particular challenge I support clients and mentees with is:


đź’¸Pricing - definitely a mix of 'art' & science.. đź’¸


HOWEVER, this is not the only consideration. A trap consultants and service providers can often fall into is what I call "over servicing"...


🤦Lack of boundary setting, making themselves too available


🤦Struggling to track and mage time and margins


🤦Scope creep


... these traps are particularly easy to fall into when you are passionate about your work and clients and want to ensure a fantastic service and experience.


The pitfalls are


đźš« Setting unmanageable or unrealistic expectations, unsustainable in the longer term


đźš« Inability to scale


đźš« Capacity breakdown


đź’¸. . And of course, not being remunerated to the value you provide. đź’¸


I've been there and done that and have experience, strategies and practical suggestions and advice to share from scaling and selling my HR consulting business.
