It’s not about it being easy, it’s about being confident. Patty Caballero believed in herself enough to take the risk to leave the large corporate world to start her own small consulting business. Today, Patty and I talk about the impact of wealth dynamics on your role and energy. She recalls what surprised her when shifting to her own consulting business and some significant breakthrough moments in the process. You don’t want to miss this episode as Patty shares some impactful pieces of advice for women looking to start their seven-figure consultant journey and answers the important question, “What does becoming your next-level self mean to you?”

Key Takeaways: 

• When branching out on your own, it can be tempting to play it very conservatively and keep it small. Grow into roles that energize you.
• It is satisfying when you can shift from a “revenue” mindset into a “what makes my business the best?” mindset.
• If you are going to start a consulting business, you should start it around what you are best at and what you enjoy most.
