No. I have a consulting company and long story short, my business relied on in-person freedom of movement, attending live conferences and events, speaking, etc. In this business you only grow if you either A) have a lot of cash already or B) can go get to clients in person gaining the necessary edge over competitors who are reaching out online or via phone.
I don’t have $1M in the bank so I had to rely on option B. I had a record setting Q2 2020 just before lockdowns got crazy then I was put in chains since then. It’s been so rough and I’m still not out of the woods yet. Reinventing has yielded depressing results after depressing result but I’ve gotten so much stronger in the process.
God has me and this has grown my faith in Him 100x.
Yeah I could see consulting companies struggling during a recession as nobody has the funds to squander.
That’s part of it. It’s more finding leads when your best, by a far margin, lead generation and sales strategy is destroyed.
I've thought about consulting before. Then I remembered that people don't listen to my advice when they should enough as it is.
We're all just a bunch of dumb apes.
