Your expertise didn't expire when you retired—it became portable.

In this video, you'll learn the complete framework for turning 30 years of professional experience into a profitable consulting practice:

📋 The Recurring Problem Inventory Identify 5-7 problems you solved repeatedly throughout your career and transform them into consulting service blueprints.

💰 The Consulting Rate Formula Calculate your sustainable hourly rate ($175-$225/hour starting range) using a simple 4-step process that removes pricing guesswork.

✅ The 5-Conversation Validation Method Test your consulting idea before spending money on infrastructure—just five honest conversations tell you if there's real demand.

📦 Three Proven Package Structures

  • Diagnostic Package (2 weeks, fixed fee)
  • Implementation Package (execution support)
  • Advisory Retainer (fractional executive model)

The data supports this approach: Businesses started by entrepreneurs 50+ have a 70% five-year survival rate vs. 28% for younger founders. Your decades of experience are your competitive advantage.
