$150K is the Magic Number—Here’s How to Get There
If you want to make consulting sustainable, you need to hit $150K as fast as possible.
$150K is the tipping point.
✅ It’s where business finally feels predictable.
✅ It builds your confidence.
✅ It proves you can do this.
If you’re not there yet, it’s not because something is wrong with you.
It’s because you’re probably focusing on the wrong things:
🚫 Trying to prove yourself instead of owning your value
🚫 Endless market research instead of just getting started
🚫 Posting online hoping someone notices instead of having convos with real people
🚫 Constantly changing your prices & offers trying to “strike gold”
These things aren’t bad—but they don’t lead to revenue.
This is why I created The Independence Equation—4 Steps to a Predictable $150K.
The steps are SIMPLE, and that’s why they work.
STEP 1 - Independence Mindset
✅ Get clear and confident in your value.
✅ Bet on yourself—and win.
✅ Let go of limiting beliefs and step into your power.
STEP 2 - Simple Product Suite
✅ Identify your most marketable skills.
✅ Package them into an irresistible consulting offer.
✅ Keep it SIMPLE and OBVIOUS.
STEP 3 - Value-Based Pricing
✅ Identify the real outcomes clients will pay for.
✅ Sell the outcome, not the hours.
✅ Charge accordingly (top dollar!).
STEP 4 - Perennial Pipeline
✅ Meet people.
✅ Uncover their problems.
✅ Offer to solve them.
✅ Get hired over and over again.
This process always works. And the more you practice, the better you get.
I went independent in 2017 and made $220,000 in my first year—
❌ Without a website
❌ Without social media marketing
❌ Without a complicated go-to-market strategy
Because simple always beats fancy.
The March enrollment cycle for Go Independent opens next week. Before it does, I’m hosting a deep-dive workshop where I’ll walk you through The Independence Equation and the 4 simple steps.
Let’s make this the year you hit $150K
