Consulting Mastery

How much can I make?

04 Aug 2025

Description

I used to think replacing my corporate income was a "smart" consulting goal—until I discovered this mindset was sabotaging my success before I even started. Here's the brutal truth: if you're leaving corporate to become a consultant with the goal of just matching your old salary, you're thinking like an employee, not an entrepreneur. This scarcity-based approach will trap you in bad pricing decisions, wrong client choices, and a business model that keeps you stuck at your income ceiling. In this episode, I reveal why "income replacement" is a poverty mindset in disguise and share the powerful reframe that transforms struggling consultants into six-figure success stories.Show Notes:Why setting an "income replacement" goal as a new consultant is actually a recipe for failure and mediocrityThe hidden psychological traps that keep former corporate employees thinking small about their consulting potentialHow your corporate salary has zero bearing on what you can actually earn as an independent consultantThe fundamental difference between being a "cog in the machine" versus being the actual product clients pay forWhy consultants who aim higher from day one consistently outperform those with "realistic" goalsThe energy shift from scarcity ("I have to do this") to abundance ("I get to do this") that separates winners from strugglersReal examples of how different goal-setting approaches create completely different business outcomesThe progression strategy successful consultants use to scale from income replacement to six-figure revenuesHow your pricing, positioning, and client selection must change based on your true income goalsThe mindset upgrade that transforms desperate job-seekers into confident, high-value consultants
