217. Fixing the Wrong Problem in Your Consulting Business
Manage episode 481294473 series 2899748
You solve problems. That’s what you do best as a consultant.
But what if you’re focused on solving the wrong problem in your own consulting business?
In this episode, Melisa breaks down a counterintuitive truth: many consultants plateau or underearn not because they don’t have solutions, but because they’re solving problems they’ve already outgrown.
Melisa shares a real client case study that illustrates how thought errors can keep you solving yesterday’s problems and sabotaging your current and future growth.
You’ll walk away with a new lens for assessing what really needs your attention — and how to stop spinning your wheels on challenges you’ve already outgrown.
