Consulting Success with Michael Zipursky
This week on TBOA, Rochelle and I are joined by Michael Zipursky to talk about building a truly sustainable business that provides the freedom AND profit your ideal lifestyle demands.
Talking Points
- The mindset—and preparation—you need to leave a corporate job and build a successful consulting business.
- Why consultants willing to develop an entrepreneurial skillset are more likely to create a sustainable business.
- The role of leverage in growing your revenue, while decoupling it with your time.
- How to build and run a highly successful business while traveling the world (or raising your family, practicing your art or any other personal ambition).
- Why deciding to ignore limiting beliefs is the first step to creating a sustainable business.
