How To Know When Cutting Back on 1:1 Client Work Makes Sense

Eleanor Beaton

As part of Eleanor’s four-part June series on maximizing consulting businesses, she’s diving into a critical decision point many consultants face: knowing when to scale back 1:1 client work. 

Women are launching consulting businesses at twice the rate of other startups, largely driven by experienced professionals leaving corporate roles to build independent practices. While replacing corporate salaries is often the initial goal, only 5% of women-owned consulting businesses generate more than $200,000 annually.

The unique challenge of consulting lies in its structure – you are simultaneously the brand, the expertise, and the bottleneck. While the low barrier to entry and high margins make consulting attractive, this same simplicity creates scaling limitations. Tune in this week to hear how Eleanor’s new free e-book provides a complete framework for evaluating your readiness to cut back on one-on-one work while maintaining revenue.
