I got lucky with my first consulting client. We agreed to $25k / month at 25 hours per week.
But I also made a mistake I never made again. Here's what happened:

Here's how I got that rate, and how you can maximize your earnings:
This means tons of incredible talent is flooding the market.
It also means you need to differentiate yourself more than ever to get a job, whether that's as an expert consultant or as an employee
And incredible things happened. I consulted. I bought (and sold) an ecommerce business. I placed colleagues at companies and got small checks. I started a blog. And I eventually started Mylance. I also got rejected a lot along the way. It’s part of the journey.

He did two things really well:
To launch Uber Eats, we had to get 100 restaurants on the platform to go live.
When I launched Miami, we had 6 weeks to do it.
Here's everything we did to make it happen:
Think about the countless hours you've put in, the amazing coworkers you've learned from, the courses you took, the coaching you invested in, and the outcomes that you've driven.
What you’re capable of is incredibly valuable to thousands of companies and individuals who are willing to pay great money for your expertise.
Don't forget that.
