Start Consulting Checklist
A practical one-page checklist to help people start consulting while still working full-time, without quitting too early or overcomplicating the business.
Who it is for
Professionals who want to start consulting on the side, validate their offer, and prepare for their first client projects before leaving their full-time job.
What problem it solves
Many people delay consulting because they think they need a perfect brand, website, or business plan. This checklist helps them focus on the essentials: a clear problem, simple offer, job protection, client conversations, pricing, boundaries, and proof.

- Problem you can already solve
- Simple consulting offer
- Full-time job protection checklist

Suggested usage
Use this checklist before starting consulting on the side. Fill it in before your first outreach conversations, then review it before accepting your first client project.
