Founders and CEOs, this handbook is designed to help grow your consulting business from $0 to $50 Million without losing your edge, or your soul. This is the book we wish we’d had. We’ve started, built, and sold successful consulting practices. We’ve made the mistakes you don’t have to, and packed the sharpest, hardest-won lessons we’ve learned into one volume that covers: Phase 1: $0 to $5M: How to start a consulting business, win anchor clients, be founder-centric when it counts, and get to break-even fast. Phase 2: $5M to $50M: How to replace founder bottlenecks with a real leadership team, sharpen positioning, scale delivery and grow your consulting business. The growth walls that stall most firms: How to break through them and build a repeatable engine that takes you from professional services start-up to a successful consulting practice that scales. Whether you’re an ambitious start-up, hovering at 30 staff, or aiming for 100 employees and beyond, this is the book that will help you build your consulting practice the right way, reach your growth potential, and unleash your expertise in the world.
