Capitalize on Your Expertise
Tailored specifically for solopreneurs and aspiring consultants, we’re here to guide you through the nuances of establishing and growing a successful consulting practice. Whether you’re leveraging expertise from a previous career or exploring new knowledge areas, our coaching provides the tools and strategies to effectively market your services, manage client relationships, and scale your operations sustainably from people who have been there, done that.
Congratulations! The fact that you’re reading this means you’re considering starting your own business. We celebrate with you. We also empathize with you because we know it can be scary, overwhelming, and leave you feeling like you don’t know where to start. That’s normal!
Starting your own business is an incredible opportunity (but we might be biased). You can enjoy tremendous flexibility in what you work on, where you work on it, and who you work with. You can earn a lot of money. You can be your own boss.
WARNING! This isn’t for everyone, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention how hard it is. For some, being your own boss equates to having no boss which equates to having no business. For others, you throw yourself all in and wind up with an unrelenting boss and no joy. We don’t want this for you.
To explore more about how becoming your own boss can transform your professional life, let’s talk.
Do You Have What It Takes?
- Self-Discipline: Without a boss to monitor your day-to-day activities, you need strong self-discipline. Watching Netflix won't pay the bills! Being your own boss means setting and sticking to your own rigorous work schedule.
- Risk Tolerance: Consulting can be unpredictable. Client demands fluctuate, and industries evolve. From economic downturns to shifting market needs, you must be prepared to navigate uncertainties without guaranteed income.
- Financial Solvency: Before diving into consulting, ensure you have the financial buffer to support yourself. It might take months before you secure your first client and receive payment, even if you're exceptionally skilled at selling your services.
- Genuine Curiosity: Successful consultants are naturally curious, especially about their clients' challenges and industries. This trait not only helps in understanding client needs but also in building trust and rapport.
- Adaptability: A consultant wears many hats, from business development and client management to strategic planning and execution. You must be able to switch roles seamlessly as the situation demands.
- Persistence: Consulting requires dedication. The hours can be long, and the learning curve steep. Success comes to those who are genuinely passionate and willing to put in the effort.
- Support System: Having mentors and a network of peers is crucial. They provide guidance, share industry insights, and support you through challenges. Don’t go it alone—leverage the experience of those who have already succeeded in the field.

Enthusiastic Love From Clients
Jackson Gold Tank Farm Operator “Whitney helped me get the job I really wanted after I tried and failed twice. She showed me areas where I could improve and helped me fix it. Thanks to her, I got the job and even a promotion after 90 days. She's awesome, and I know she can help others too."
Stephanie Scott Pharmaceutical Sales “Facing the complexities of job offers and counteroffers, Whitney's expertise was invaluable. With a balance of structured guidance and understanding, she helped me navigate my decisions with confidence and insight. For those seeking clarity in their professional journey, Whitney is a true asset."
Justin Darby
Strategic Marketing Director
“Being unexpectedly laid off brings a flood of emotions and questions with it, not the least of which is
where to spend a limited budget. With a saturated job-seeker market, there is no better value than
securing a career coach. I knew from the first 30 minutes I spent on the phone with Whitney that the
small investment with her would bring massive value.
Whitney brings a wealth of experience to the table. She understands the job market and how to be seen
in a sea of applicants. Without Whitney's expertise, the job hunt can easily last for many months. She
takes everything you've done and want to do in your career and helps communicate it in a way that may
be difficult to see yourself. She helps create you as a highly attractive, marketable product that the
market can't ignore.
I highly recommend Whitney to those recently laid off and job searching. The value in getting career
clarity and confidence with her has been priceless."
Tom Stromberg Admissions Counselor “Whitney was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is extremely professional, well-informed, and personable. I had interviewed for a position that I was unfortunately turned down for due to experience versus another candidate, but the skills for preparation and interviewing that I received from Whitney were so beneficial that along with her feedback, I am not disheartened but encouraged to continue the search for my next opportunity. To have such a solid direction to follow for the rest of my career journey has me so excited and it's all thanks to Whitney's thoroughness and expert understanding of where I was at in terms of readiness. I cannot recommend Whitney enough. I have received advice and tools from numerous people, but it often feels like another rock to throw to chip away at the job-seeking process. Whitney gives the tools and the motivation to remove the daunting wall altogether."
Anthony Sammons Project Manager “You are without a doubt the most candidate-centric recruiter I have ever worked with. Your questions and our conversations really helped drill down to what I was looking for and what would be a good fit for my family and I. I have worked with three different "veterans" recruiting firms, and you have done more in two conversations than all of them combined over the past year. I really appreciate what you do, and the time you took getting to know me from both a personal and professional perspective."
Ali Yazdian Entrepreneur “I had the pleasure to work with Whitney Brooks while transitioning from a previous position. Whitney was incredible thru out the entire process. She shows great care, intelligence, and thoughtfulness in regards to understanding her clients strengths and needs. She creates a no pressure atmosphere, in otherwise a tense situation (unemployed job search). I feel lucky to have met her, and owe a debt of gratitude. If you are looking to grow your career, and know you are not utilizing your full potential, give her a call."
