If we need to ask permission to take time off for a vacation, how free are we really?The 9-5 paradigm that we used to accept as “normal” is not conducive for most of us to live our best lives.The only way to have the time, location, and financial freedom most of us desire is to work for ourselves.What does a good salary matter if we can’t travel and see the world or be present when our kids grow up?But how do we get that autonomy after spending our entire careers working for others?To me, the answer is clear: The best way is by using our existing skills and experiences to help others.(𝘔𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦)Instead of selling our time as a consultant, coach, advisor, (𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦), we are packaging up - or "productizing" - our help and getting paid for the value we provide.That’s the fastest, most effective way to get started: • No co-founders needed • No funding needed • No social media marketing or website neededWe can start with just a few hours per week and even help the first clients for free if we want to test our offer, get feedback or need to build up our confidence.And the best part is, as long as you enjoy helping others and have been in some kind of leadership or management position, this will work for you.So far we've helped different types of managers (from product, to operational, to sales) to startup founders, and CXOs turn their skills + experience into a profitable offer. Karim, for example, a former product manager, made 24k in just the first few months.If you’re interested in exploring what that could look like for you personally, send me a DM.
