Stop Your Consulting Business From Owning You
Show Notes
What if the real risk in your consulting business isn't failing? It's building something that quietly owns you? Jonathan Bennett knows what it's like to carry that weight. Long days, payroll responsibility, government funded clients that can freeze overnight, a growing team depending on your decisions. Well, he scaled his firm past seven figures, he built a team of 13, and he created productized services that ran without him in the room. But along the way, he faced hiring mistakes that cost him painful layoffs during a funding shutdown, and the sobering realization that security is often an illusion, whether you're in corporate or on your own.
In this episode, you're going to discover how to stress test your consulting firm before it breaks; how to scale without overexposing yourself to risk; and how to structure an exit that protects both your finances and your identity.
If you're carrying the pressure of growth and wondering how exposed you really are, this conversation will force you to think differently about stability, control, and what you're actually building.
