Don't Fall Victim to the Contractor Trap

There are people out there calling themselves Consultants when they’re actually Contractors.
I fell into the ‘Contractor Trap’ myself early in my Consulting business.
Not quite Advising but a specialist nonetheless.
More of an employee of multiple businesses rather than running my own.
I painted myself into a corner selling time for money.
There is a reason why YOU began your consulting business.
And I can bet it was not to trade ONE employer in for FOUR or FIVE.
For decades you worked for ‘the man’.
You broke free of the shackles of employment, and it was a huge step!
But the world keeps trying to put you there.
Corporations try to squeeze you through a procurement process.
Force you to tender and pitch for their work.
When your REAL opportunity is to realise…
….that you’re the PRIZE and the prize doesn’t chase.
So NOW it’s time to break free of the mental shackles that are causing you play by their rules.
You’re VALUABLE and there are more than enough VALUABLE opportunities for you.
There are an abundance of Clients for you as a Select Consultant.

Stay Passionate!
