When did you last stop and ask yourself what’s actually possible in your consulting business?
Not what’s realistic.
Not what’s likely for you to achieve.
What you could build if nothing was off the table.
What’s possible without ruling anything out before you start.
For most independent consultants, they never ask that question seriously. Either their vision feels too far-fetched, or the tradeoffs feel too severe, and they set the question aside.
In Episode 292, Melisa Liberman makes the case that the thing limiting your consulting business probably isn’t what you think it is.
It’s not your network. It’s not your niche. It’s not the market.
It’s the reference point you use to decide what’s possible. For a lot of independent consultants, that reference point is still tied back to their corporate career.
Melisa shares two client examples, plus her own story from 14 years after leaving corporate, that show where that reference point comes from and how it caps what consultants are willing to go after.
Here’s why it matters. You only go after what you believe is possible. You only take action on what you go after. And your results come from the actions you take.
When you expand what you believe is possible, you expand what you’re able to achieve.
You’ll walk away with a four-step possibility audit to find the limits you’ve set without realizing it, and how to challenge each one.
Hit play to find out if you’ve been unknowingly limiting what’s possible in your consulting business.
