I was inspired to write this from an AMA I had with my email list recently. More about that and how you can participate at the end of this article.

You can turn your professional expertise into a coaching or consulting business. In fact, anyone can. And I am here to show you what it takes. I will share everything about it to the best of my understanding. And if you still have questions, you can drop them in the comments.

You must be wondering why I am qualified to write about this. Well, I have been in the coaching and consulting business for 4 years. And I got into it accidentally.

I have also been privileged to be in masterminds with people who have been doing this for way longer. And I have learned a lot through their experiences and mine.

This article will give you the unbridled truth about everything. I am not trying to sell you anything. I don’t care. My consulting work is mostly around marketing.

Let’s get into it.

I observe and investigate things just to write about them - money, tech, creator economy, self-improvement, and more. Not financial advice though
