New coaching clients often share they don't know how to hire another consultant. They say things like,  "I don't know how to find someone that knows all the things I know and who can work with clients in all the ways I work with them."   The truth is, they are right. Most people who have all of their capabilities alreay have their own business or are running an organization. They are not available for hire and if they were it would likely be too expensive to have them on your team.   When you do a lot of types of work for different types and sizes of organizations, hiring decisions feel overwhelming because there's no clarity on the exact skills or expertise needed.   The solution is to focus on positioning your buisness away from being a generalist. Once you specialize by what you do and/or niche by the organizations you serve, it simplifies everything in your business including hiring.   CASE STUDY: Using examples from fundraising, I cover how targeting particular services or clients can facilitate easier hiring, more efficient team building, and ultimately, business growth    

Feeling overwhelmed because you waited too long to hire? Now the thought of tackling it on top of your already packed schedule feels impossible. But here's the catch: you can't grow—or reclaim precious time for what you truly love—without help. In this episode, we'll break down how to identify the role that will bring you the most relief. Spoiler: the first hire you need might not be for your business but for your home.   May I support you as your grow your consulting business? 

Is something missing from your Scope of Work? It is meant to protect you and your clients which is why I invited my guest to share her best practices with us today.  Mandy Pearce is a seasoned consultant and coach with impeccable client boundaries, that are all clearly defined in her scope of work and contracts which she has refined over the years.   I enjoyed getting her recommendations on some scenarios my clients have experienced and hearing her recommendations for avoiding sticky situations in the future.   Finally, I always love to get to know my guests a little better and find out what we have in common. It was so much fun to learn about Mandy's family businesses growing up and exposure to entrepreneurship from a young age.  Amanda (Mandy) Pearce LinkedIn Website Nonprofit Consulting Conference, Sept 2025 May I support you as your grow your consulting business? 

***Currently reviewing applications for 2025 1:1 Coaching and Impact Collective Mastermind!*** The majority of consultants start off as GENERALISTS and over time find they need to POSITION themselves as an expert in the marketplace by either "specializing" by the services they offer or by "niching" the clients they serve AND in some cases they do both. Jenny Kontos niched her marketing agency, Hillhouse Creative, in 2021 to only serve established nonprofit clients and this streamlined many of her business development activities and focused her team. In this coaching session, I surprise Jenny by suggesting she position her business further by SPECIALIZING her services with a signature offer. We discuss the pros and cons of this shift, strategies for client acquisition, and the importance of maintaining long-term client relationships plus best next steps. Spoiler alert: changing your positioning for your NEXT clients does not need to impact your current and favorite clients!

May I support you as your grow your consulting business? There are 3 ways we can get started:

One of the most challenging transitions for consultants is shifting from handling all client work to having a trusted team member take over. In this episode, I explore the stages of handing off clients to team members, how to establish and communicate core values, and the mindset shifts needed to let go of control. This journey is a path to a sustainable business that's less dependent on you as the owner. I hope you enjoy the practical tips to help you confidently move from a solo “I” to a team-focused “we.” You've got this! May I support you as your grow your consulting business? There are 3 ways we can get started:

Are you an accidental business owner? Has your business grown faster than you expected? With growth comes mindset challenges, like self-sabotage and imposter syndrome, that can limit both success and impact. In this episode we cover concepts and tools to help you shift your mindset and set inspiring goals and navigate common barriers we all experience on our growth journey including: Growth Mindset Future Self Visioning Breaking Through Upper Limits The RESET Framework Resources mentioned in the episode:

High ticket projects which I define it as a project anywhere from $25K to $300K and everything in between require more sophistication in several areas to protect yourself as a business owner. High ticket projects are normally devlievered over the course of several months and for multi-six figure projects, those can extend beyond a year and even up to 3 years. While the big project numbers I just shared likely sounds amazing, there are several things that make this type of business more complicated. I have 5 watchouts to cover with you in this training episode. 1) Longer Sales Cycle 2) Pricing 3) Scope Creep 4) Project Management 5) Advance Cash Flow Techniques Required This episode is an example of things that I help my clients with regularly and demonstrates how I teach and train.  May I support you as your grow your consulting business?

Could you use support from an experienced coach? It would be an honor to support you.

Kelly is at a CROSSROADS in her business. She could stay where she is with one employee and a marketing contractor or she could grow.  This is an on air coaching episode where you get to listen in as I coach fractional fundraiser Kelly McLaughlin and it is worth every minute of your time!

Creating and holding boundaries with your team can be a challenge (especially if you already struggle with boundaries in your personal life). Once you have team members, a good portion of your time needs to be devoted to leading them by coaching, training and providing feedback. In order, to communicate well you also need to document and communicate your policies and procedure.  I have some great examples from current and past clients and some scenarios from my own life and business that might surprise you and give you ideas for your business.  Connect with Natalie on LinkedIn - let's discuss this episode!

Do you know the IDEAL team structure if you want to build a lean dream team where every team member is a high performer and does their role with excellence? (Yes, you are worthy of that level of support.) You will learn the actual positions you need to hire and learn where you are headed and what the  next step is in growing your consulting firm.  Connect with Natalie on LinkedIn - I'd love to know what team members you have and what position you plan to hire next.  

Are you at CAPACITY in your business, where you can't really grow unless you start taking more off your plate, BUT the business can't afford to hire the person you think you really need? In this episode, I share a workaround. A way to start delegating small tasks in your business so you can focus on your zone of genius and increase your capacity without overwhelming your time or your bank account.

My clients do NOT yearn to have a massive team, but they DO want to hire some support so they can focus on their zone of genius -- the work that they love and is most highly valued by clients. In fact, you can build a highly profitable consulting busines with a LEAN DREAM TEAM! This often includes a combination of help at home and in the business including at least one team member who shares the client workload (so you can go on vacation or navigate life's curveballs). The challenge in leading a small business, is that EVERY team member needs to be high performing. Listen for all the details. Remember your team includes anyone you pay to support you — either in your business, or in your personal life.  In this episode, we define a Lean team and share how to rate your team members to determine if you have a Dream team as well as some ideas of what to do if your team is not working.

What do you think of the term “thought leader”? Almost every client I work with needs to create MORE visibility for their business to attract and nurture clients. My hope is that this episode will help you embrace your own thought leadership because the world NEEDS your voice and your point of view. I'm joined by Tania Bhattacharyya who helps social impact leaders and organizations share their thought leadership on LinkedIn. We tackle self-doubt, the power of personal narratives, and the courage to share your unique perspective.  We also discuss how cultural nuances influence self-promotion, particularly for women, immigrants, and minorities. I also open up about my own journey, including the hurdles I faced and how it took me 150 episodes to record my first solo podcast. This episode is packed with practical advice to help you confidently embrace and project your thought leadership.

Are you planning to add an online membership program to your business in 2023? Some entrepreneurs see a membership as a way out of done-for-you service work. And many business owners are under the impression that memberships are easy to launch and scale, but they don't always turn out to be the easy money-makers they seem to be. You CAN scale your service-based business without memberships, or other group programs. In this loaded interview Natalie Eckdahl, CEO of Biz Chix, and I talk through the pros and cons of having a membership site and offering courses. There are so many business considerations to take into account before - or IF - you decide to add this model to your offerings. Listen in and then decide if that's the move for you.

Natalie Eckdahl debunks some consulting business have-tos, including the need to have an email list, and encourages making decisions that work best for your business.  

As entrepreneurs, we're like special unicorns that usually have a lot of experience and can do multiple things. But having a unicorn business can be exhausting for us and confusing for potential clients. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by the multiple offers and products or services that you offer. Or you might struggle to market all of them at the same time. You almost definitely could be facing challenges keeping track of the latest developments in your wide market. It may be time to narrow your specialization and niche down.  I'm excited to dive deeper into this conversation with our guest Natalie Eckdahl. Natalie launched the Biz Chix podcast back in 2014, and she has been serving women entrepreneurs ever since. Her company, Biz Chix, Inc, helps service entrepreneurs build enduring, profitable, and sustainable businesses. She's the creator of the $ix Figures Lab, a year long group coaching program for women service-based business owners. By providing strategy, coaching, accountability, and community, Natalie helps these women grow and scale a profitable business.  But what exactly is specializing and having a niche? Well, in Natalie's words, “We can specialize by the work we do, the type of work we do, we niche by who we do it for.”  “But if you're trying to build a business that will scale, the first place you need to start is with positioning, and that involves some experimenting to figure out where you're going to put yourself in the marketplace.” - Natalie Eckdahl  Why should we specialize and niche? What are the benefits? Here are three things Natalie talks about more in this episode:  It informs all your business decisions from investments, hiring, and goal setting  You become more of an expert and are immediately more referable  You get to have an “automatic yes business”    But what are the challenges of specializing and niching? There must be a mindset shift. It takes time (even up to a year) to have only your new niche or specialty clients. Letting go of former investments and sunk costs. Repelling potential clients and projects that are no longer your specialty. Natalie tells us how to deal with these challenges and make the best of this transition period.  “I want to help people build a business that will be enduring. So it needs to be enjoyable, profitable, and sustainable. If it's not all three, they're not going to stick with it.” - Natalie Eckdahl  This is an easier process when you're being guided through it, and when you have a community of people around you who are also doing the exact same thing, which is exactly what her coaching program, $ix Figures Lab, offers. We learn what sets it apart from others in the market, from a solid community of entrepreneurs, business resources, and trainings you can access at any time, guided goal setting and check-ins, and easy access to Natalie herself.  Listen in to hear all Natalie has to say about specializing and niching down and to learn how you can apply it to your own business.  Connect with Natalie Eckdahl:  Website  BizChix Podcast  $ix Figures Lab  LinkedIn  Facebook  Instagram  Learn more about your ad choices.

“Probably 20% of your clients are causing 80% of the problems.” -Natalie Eckdahl   Finding your bookkeeping niche is hard. But not as hard as finding the number of clients needed to make a low-price business successful. Low pricing may seem like the way to gain many clients fast. But in reality, this kind of business model is working against you.   When you find your niche, it will be because it is something you are passionate about, something you can become an expert in, because you care about it. It is time to stop charging for a basic general service, and start charging for what your knowledge, expertise and experience are truly worth.   In part two, Natalie Eckdahl, founder of BizChix, host of the longest-running female entrepreneur podcast and voted one of the top women in business to listen to, speaks to the need to let go of mindsets and clients that are holding you back, finding your niche, and her upcoming virtual talk at The Successful Bookkeeper Summit.   If you are struggling, as an aimless generalist, taking every client you can for fear of losing business, this is the episode to get you headed in the right direction! During this interview, you'll learn... The value of finding your own niche How to let go of clients that are holding you back The importance of connecting with the right clients To find out more about Natalie, click here.   Connect with her on LinkedIn.   Click here to listen to the BizChix podcast.   Natalie will be one of our great virtual speakers at The Successful Bookkeeper Summit that begins on November 9th 2022.

“One of the biggest challenges I see is that women do not have enough profit coming out of their business, and the base behind that is they are not charging high enough prices.” -Natalie Eckdahl   Overcoming the struggles of building a business is tough enough, and yet for a lot of women, there are considerable added pressures. Not just in terms of feeling like an imposter in the workplace, but being scared to price at equal value, or paying themselves less to not upset male colleagues or partners.   Women on average price themselves 28% lower than their male peers. In the first part of a two-part series, Natalie Eckdahl, founder of BizChix who is the host of the longest-running female entrepreneur podcast and voted one of the top women in business to listen to, talks about shattering glass ceilings, empowering women in business and how to create the life of your dreams.   If you are building a successful bookkeeping business but are struggling to overcome limiting beliefs, this two-part episode series is the one for you. Natalie Eckdahl has years of experience helping women get past their negative and limiting mindsets to achieve their personal and professional goals.   Her three-pillar approach to creating an enjoyable, profitable, and sustainable business, could be just what you are looking for to build your confidence and take your bookkeeping business to the next level.   During this interview, you'll learn... The value of finding & doing work that fulfills you How to change your mindset to one of growth and value, not scarcity The importance of overcoming self-made barriers to success Click here to find out more about Natalie.
