246. The 10 Surprising Relationships That Grow Your Consulting Business

MP3•Episode home

Independent consulting is a relationship business, but most consultants only focus on a few obvious ones. That leaves untapped opportunity on the table.

In this episode, you’ll learn the ten relationship types that directly influence your pipeline, your revenue, and your long-term growth.

Some are familiar, like client and channel relationships. Others are the hidden drivers most consultants never think about, such as your relationship with your time, your goals, your expertise, and even your business model.

This isn’t about being more social or more outgoing. It is about strengthening the specific relationships that create leverage, predictability, and growth.

You’ll learn how to assess where each relationship stands today, identify which ones are holding your business back, and prioritize the few that will create the greatest impact in the next ninety days.

If you want a more profitable, sustainable, and aligned consulting business, this episode will show you exactly where to focus next.

What you will learn in this episode:
[06:30] The four external relationships that drive demand, pricing power, and delivery leverage.
[13:50] The three strategic clarity relationships you must build with your goals, your future self, and your ideal client persona.
[29:45] How internal relationships like time, money, and your own expertise either accelerate or stall your growth.
[42:00] A simple prioritization method to identify which relationships need your attention now, and how to start small.

Tune in to Episode 246 for tools you can implement immediately to deepen the right relationships and unlock new growth as an independent consultant.
