If you’re just getting started with your education consulting business—or if you’ve been dabbling and you’re ready to finally treat it like a real business—this episode is for you.

Jenn breaks down the four foundational steps every new consultant should take to set up their business the right way—from legal and financial logistics to market research and framework development. Plus, she shares the essential mindset shift every educator must make when stepping into entrepreneurship.

You’ll learn how to think like a business owner, how to handle the “no-response” moments that come with outreach, and why playing the long game is the real secret to building predictable, six-figure success.

Shownotes:

Positioning is all about how you define yourself in the market. It’s the intersection of who you help, what problem you solve, and how you communicate that.

When your positioning is off—when your messaging doesn’t match the right audience—you end up spinning your wheels. You can have the best workshop or the best framework in the world, but if the people you’re speaking to aren’t the decision-makers, you won’t book contracts.

Your business systems will be the key to your education consulting business making it or falling apart. The problem is that most of us, myself included, started our businesses out of our passion for a field in education. We had all the expertise and experience in education - perhaps we even have experience in the coaching or presenting field - maybe we had the opportunity to do it while we were still working for a district - and we were good at it, so we thought - surely I can step out and consult with more consistency - and get paid for it! And you can!

But you probably figured out that without having a business model, or business system to wrap your expertise in, one (or more) of a few different things probably happened:

1. You are relying on one-off trainings - you are building new trainings all the time. You have 25 that you can offer, but you don’t know how to market yourself and you’re just waiting for the next call to come in to ask you to come to their school.
2. You’ve built out a resource or course or training (or maybe all of them), but you are having trouble getting it in front of decision makers.
3. You are really uncomfortable “selling” - so you’re holding on to all of the solutions you have to offer the world.

Do any of these sound familiar?
