Let’s face it, going to a j-o-b can have its rewards such as a steady paycheck, interaction with friends/colleagues daily, and promotions. But what happens when you work your buns off and another colleague gets your much-deserved promotion instead of you? It doesn’t feel good.
What else doesn’t feel good is having to worry about job security. You see, many people have a belief that because you have a job you have job security simply by showing up every day, kissing up to your superiors, and by being an overachiever – however, this could not be farther from the truth.
So, if you’re reading this and have been secretly raising your hands only to put them back down it’s probably time you embrace your inner boss and make a game plan to leave your 9-5 behind for a world of actual security, freedom, achievement, and unlimited income potential.
What’s the Fastest Home Business to Start?
Before we continue, I want to disclose the link(s) below may be affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I may or may not earn a commission if you click on the link and make a purchase. I assure you I only recommend reputable programs and products. So let's get back to the article.
Starting your own business may seem like a dream or something only people with a lot of money can do. And while this may be true for some industries, it’s simply not true for a home-based consulting company.
To start a consulting company, you need an internet connection and a laptop. That’s it – really! That’s why it is not only easy, but a consulting company is the fastest home business to start even for those who have no savings and no college degree.
How Much Does a Consultant Make Per Year?
If you’ve ever asked for a raise or been in a job where you were awarded an extra $0.10 cents per year for each year you’ve worked with the company, you may feel like raises are a complete joke.
When you own your own consulting company you’re able to award your achievements by giving yourself raises as much or little as you’d like.
Sound too good to be true? Let’s break it down for you.
As a business owner, you pick the rates you want your clients to pay. You charge not based on hourly or time needed but based on what the outcome value of your service provides. Then, with each client closed you can up the price a little giving yourself an extra boost in income a.k.a a raise.
For example, as a business consultant, you may be teaching others how to start their own business, market their company, and bring in their first client. The value you’re giving for the outcome received is incredibly higher for your clients simply because you only need to teach your strategies one time for them to turn around and make millions.
To only charge them based on your 1 hour a week call + a few paper handouts would decrease the value of what you’re giving them. And side note – people understand that the cost of this knowledge is invaluable considering the time you’re saving them by giving them a proven method that works.
Charge accordingly and don’t forget to give yourself raises with each client.
Consultants typically average anywhere from 72,000 – 1m per year. Where do you want to be?
