Why Community Works

Cross Pollination Makes Us Stronger, Smarter, and More Effective Consultants

Proximity to like-minded, highly motivated peers from other industries and the positive pressure that comes with active participation in a community is inspiring, educational, and motivating. Beyond supporting each other and cheering each other on, our members share job opportunities that come across their networks, tech they are building or using to get ahead, and advice built on hard won experience.

We are a diverse, experienced, intelligent cohort driven by a common goal of self-empowerment and the desire to work to live, rather than live to work.

What do we talk about?

There's a difference between advice and experience.

Scope creep, pricing, offers, delivery. Contracts, client management, taxes, onboarding. We take on the nuts and bolts of building a consulting business — and share what we got right, and what we've learned along the way.

Sound like you?

Are you a high-level operator, but have never been involved in the day-to-day task of invoicing, billing, and setting up direct deposits?
Are you an operations expert who can step in as CEO to reign in the chaos of an acquisition, but start fading out when people start talking about website plugins and structured data?
Can you scale an existing business that has all systems go, but struggle with ideating from a blank slate?

Nobody is an expert at everything, but when you're growing a business, you need to know enough to understand what you can do yourself and where you need help. The Consultants Room has the people and the processes to help you tease out the blind spots.

Let's make it happen
