What if you could turn your wellness expertise into adventure, freedom, and premium income, without being tied to one property?
That’s exactly what Exit Route 2, the Project-Based Consultant, makes possible.
In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my own early consulting years, when I went from pre-opening to pre-opening across the globe. It was exciting, exhilarating, and exhausting all at the same time. And it was the single best training ground I could have asked for.
This route gave me variety, adventure, and income potential I never imagined, and it can do the same for you, if it’s the right fit.
Here are the 3 things you’ll learn in this episode:
1.- What project-based consulting really looks like
The four roles you can step into (pre-opening projects, interim director, renovation support, turnaround assignments).
2.- The pros of this path
Variety, accelerated learning, premium pay, and a strong network of contacts.
3.- The hidden challenges
The disruptive lifestyle, operational immersion, pipeline stress, and income ceilings you’ll need to plan for.
By the end of this episode, you’ll understand whether project-based consulting is your perfect bridge into a consulting career, or a path that may not fit your goals. You’ll also see how this “consulting school in real life” can fast-track your skills, confidence, and credibility as a consultant.
