Are You Hitting a Revenue Plateau in Your Independent Consulting Business?
You might be stuck in a revenue plateau right now.
Maybe it’s obvious. Your consulting revenue has been flat year over year.
Or maybe it’s hidden. Your numbers might be technically going up, but you could still be hitting a plateau you didn’t even realize existed.
Either way, this episode is for you.
I’m breaking down the five hidden causes of revenue plateaus for independent consultants and the exact mindset and business shifts required to break through them.
This isn’t about working more hours or trying to figure it out on your own.
It’s about pinpointing where you're unconsciously capping your growth. In your beliefs. In your pricing. In your positioning or decision-making. Then shifting beyond the plateau.
You’ll hear a real story of an independent consultant who hovered at $250K for years until she uncovered the invisible objections that were keeping her stuck.
What you will learn in this episode:
[09:45] How to recognize a hidden revenue plateau even if your revenue looks stable on paper.
[12:30] 5 root causes of consulting plateaus that most consultants miss (especially the ones who seem successful).
[21:15] How to expand your ‘possibility thinking’ so your brain stops limiting your income.
[30:40] A real consultant case study that shows exactly what changed when she shifted her thinking and added $110K in revenue.
[35:15] How to stop trading flexibility for money, and start designing a business that delivers both.
Tune in to Episode 230 for a strategic breakdown of how to create meaningful revenue growth, without waiting for the market to change or adding more to your plate.
