Supercharge Your Chance of Success
I have spent over 30 years of figuring out what works and what doesn't work in a very niche market and whilst it is not the only way this methodology has successfully launched over 300 People Consultancies in the UK , US, Canada and many other countries.
A lot of time can be wasted when setting up your consultancy if you get the set up in the wrong order and this is why I developed this success map to help accelerate this process.
Th first stage surrounds confidence and then moves onto clarity, credibility, collaboration and finally courage.

Confidence
This is about establishing what skills, experience and type of consultancy you want to create. More importantly the type of lifestyle you want to create.
Clarity
This focuses on who you want to work with, what services and products you will offer and your pricing strategy.
Credibility
This takes the work you have done in stages 1 & 2 and let's you consider how you will market yourself to your ideal clients.
Collaboration
To superboost your portfolio and success collaborations are a great way to achieve this.
This includes other consultants, service providers and products.
Courage
Courage is focused on accountability; making things happen and working smarter not harder. This ranges from cloud technology to looking after yourself as a consultant and effective work habits.

This model underpins our consulting programmes, book and podcast.
It is also part of the CIPD's new Career Toolkit - How to Become an Independent Consultant launching in September 2026.
I hope this brings you clarity and helps you start the journey into consulting !
