Starting a Consulting Business in Uncertain Times

Storms don’t send calendar invites.

- Technological disruption - Economic shocks - Market downturns - Geopolitical tension

Instability is part of the environment entrepreneurs operate in.

For early-stage consultants, this can feel especially intense.

You’re trying to start something new, build momentum, and figure things out — all while the world around you keeps changing.

When turbulence hits, you quickly realize something uncomfortable: You have very little control over external events.

But you do control your foundation.

And just as important — you control how you lead yourself and others through uncertainty.

In this podcast, I’ll share practical lessons from navigating difficult moments as a founder and leader.

We’ll cover: - Why cash really is oxygen when you’re starting a consulting business - How to strengthen your foundation before the next disruption hits - What early-stage founders should focus on when things feel unstable - Leadership habits that keep teams — and founders — steady under pressure

Storms will come.

Preparation determines whether your business bends… or breaks.
