Thinking about starting your own consulting business? Need advice before taking the leap? The new gig economy has fueled the fire of going solo.
Join Elaine Biech and Halelly Azulay, two successful TD entrepreneurs and authors, for a provocative discussion about what it takes to go solo and thrive. During the session you will hear firsthand stories and reflections from the presenters as they faced their decisions to go solo. They will discuss the advantages, concerns, opportunities, and challenges of striking out on your own.
You’ll learn how you can assess your readiness for moving into the consulting profession and hear about what to consider as you define your new role as a startup business consultant. Should you start with a side-hustle or jump in with both feet? What kind of clients should you focus on? Should you create a narrow niche? You’ll explore these and many other questions.
Based on our presenter’s 50+ years of combined experience, you will gain valuable tips, tools, and concepts to help you decide if you’re ready to strike out on your own.
