How to Start a Consulting Business Alongside Your Day Job

Turn your skills into income - without risking your paycheck.


📍 Santander Work Café, 10 Park Row, Leeds LS1 5HD

🗓 Wednesday 1st October | 5.00–6.30pm


You’re the one people turn to when things go wrong.

You fix problems. You know your stuff.

You’re trusted, respected… and undervalued.

You're building other people’s dreams.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I could do this on my own…”...you’re probably right.


This workshop is designed for professionals like you who are ready to turn their expertise into a consulting business - without quitting their job, risking their income, or working 90-hour weeks.

You don’t need another side hustle. You need a roadmap.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What consulting actually is (and why you’re already halfway there)
  • What your offer should be, and what to charge for it
  • How to get your first few clients from your existing network (without being pushy or salesy)
  • How to build a 0–£100k/year consulting model as a solo operator
  • The lightweight systems you need to run this in a little as 5 hours per week (and on any day of the week)
  • We’ll also walk through a simple consulting business blueprint (sales, systems, delivery) and show real-world examples of people just like you who’ve done it.

Spoiler alert: you don’t need a website, you don’t need to spend a penny on branding, and you don’t need to become a social media influencer. In fact, you don’t need social media at all.

You’re already solving valuable problems. It’s time to get paid directly for that value.

You don’t even need to call yourself a “consultant”, I’ll help you own your space.
