Is Independent Consulting Right for You?

I recently retired and still have energy and valuable knowledge and contacts.

I have a burning vision and want to see it come to life.

I want more flexibility/control over my life/work.

I come up with big ideas and enjoy seeing them through from start to finish

I do well taking someone else’s idea and figuring out how to make it happen.

I enjoy coming up with new ideas, but I lose interest when it’s time to execute them.

I prefer when someone gives me a clear goal and specific steps to follow.

I often struggle both with coming up with a clear direction and following detailed plans.

I prefer delegating and keeping track of what others are doing.

I can step up and manage people when needed.

I’d rather just do things myself than delegate.

I don’t feel very comfortable managing or delegating tasks.

I am equally comfortable delegating or doing the work myself.

I enjoy variety and like doing different types of work across functions.

I'm comfortable switching between one or two roles.

I prefer to focus on tasks within my specific area of expertise.

Wearing multiple hats feels overwhelming or distracting for me.

I prefer consistency, but I can manage slower periods without too much stress.

I’m totally fine with income and workload fluctuations.

I’d feel anxious if I went more than a month without new work or income.

I would panic if I didn’t have a steady income.

I’d be nervous, but I’d likely channel that energy into finding more work

I'm fine with it.  You have to spend money to make money.

I would rather invest less, but I probably would do it.

I would have to find financing or funding.

I don't have that kind of money to spare.

I have it but I don't want to invest that much.
