Starting a consulting career isn’t difficult. Many people do it successfully in the short term.

What’s far more challenging is achieving long-term success and truly “living the dream” for decades, whether that means enjoying high pay, meaningful and exciting work, greater personal freedom, or a unique combination of all three.

So, what do consultants who have built sustainable, thriving careers do differently?

Drawing on Ted Demopoulos’ 30+ years of consulting experience and insights from numerous other long-term successful consultants, this session explores:

  • Four strategic (“big picture”) lessons, including options for scaling your consulting business and developing effective exit strategies
  • Getting started the smart way. Making the process simple, low-risk, and sustainable
