142. The Path That Does Work When Transitioning Into Consulting
Consulting does work.
But only when you stop using it as an escape and start building it like a business.
If Part 1 showed you why most wellness consultants fail, this episode shows you the path that actually works.
In the first part of this series, we looked at the uncomfortable truth:
90% of wellness consultants fail in their first year. It’s not because they lack expertise, it’s because they carry their operational frustrations straight into entrepreneurship.
In this second and final episode, I want to shift the focus.
Because wellness consulting is one of the most powerful, flexible, and lucrative career paths available today. The industry is growing faster than ever. New brands, landowners, and founders are entering the space every year, and they need experienced wellness leaders to guide them.
The difference between those who succeed and those who quietly walk away isn’t talent or timing.
It’s structure.
This episode is about what happens when you stop trying to “jump the gap” into consulting, and instead build the bridge that gets you there safely, confidently, and sustainably.
Here are the 3 things we’ll uncover:
1.- The three consulting paths available to wellness leaders
And why choosing one path, internal, project-based, or specialist, is essential to avoiding burnout and dilution.
2.- How to package your expertise into a signature offer
So you’re no longer selling yourself as a generalist, but positioning yourself as the obvious choice for the clients you want.
3.- Why safety nets create success
How building financial and emotional stability gives you the space to grow real momentum instead of making fear-based decisions.
By the end of the episode you’ll understand exactly why consulting works when it’s built intentionally, and why structure, not hustle, is what allows you to replace and eventually exceed your previous income.
You’ll also see clearly whether you’ve been trying to run into consulting… or whether you’re ready to walk into it with confidence.
