 Hey, welcome back to the channel. So I made this post on LinkedIn about my plan to build a $1 million year plus one-person consulting business. Got a ton of engagement, a lot of people giving their thoughts and sharing their goals in the comments as well, also people reaching out and asking questions about how I'm executing on this. So I wanted to make a video to give a little more context around this post and because I know not everybody follows me on LinkedIn. So first off, if you're new here, my name is Sean. On this channel, I talk about how to make money from writing online. So if you want more content around that, make sure you hit the like and subscribe button and hit the bell icon so you don't miss any of my future videos. So let's go to this post here. Consulting first of all, what is it? It's the business of selling your advice and selling your expertise. So this is different than services, which is another part of my business where I'm actually going out and doing the work for somebody else. We also refer to that as done for you or done for you services. So consulting is the business of selling your advice and expertise and the client goes and implements and executes. So the first time that I sold my advice was back in 2018, I had a SaaS client that was on or done for you services. And I just trained a few of their sales reps on Legion and sales process. They were a growing SaaS company. They just got some funding. They were starting to hire sales reps. And since I had already been doing Legion and sales, they wanted me to help train their team on how I was doing it specifically on LinkedIn. So they paid me 15K for a few days of work, which is pretty solid, but it was a one-off thing at that time. It was not going to be like a, hey, I want to sell consulting on an ongoing basis. It was mainly because they asked me because they were happy with the results that we were getting with our done for you services. And so it was a one-off thing, and I didn't really get back into consulting till 2020, right around the time when C19 started. And I was still not fully into it. I mean, it's not that I didn't like it, but the done for you services side of my business at growth response was my main thing at the time. And so 2020, I started getting into that. I didn't go deeper into consulting until 2021. And so my goal now is I'm putting a lot more focus into it, especially this year. And I want to get this to a million dollars a year plus in profit on the consulting side. And so what I'm going to do for you real quick is just break down what my ideal one million dollar a year plus profit consulting business looks like. And the reason I say quick is because it's super simple. I'm going to show you some examples of what this looks like. You can take this, run with it, build a very similar business, consulting business like this for yourself. So what does that look like? What is my ideal one million dollar a year profit plus consulting business look like? 60 clients, paying on average 2K a month. So I have one-on-one packages for my consulting. I also have a group packages where it's a hybrid of one-on-one and group consulting. And I want 60 clients on that paying on average 2K a month. That would pit me at 120K a month. 200 clients paying on average $300 a month. So I'll show you an example, one of the programs that I have in this range. And 200 clients paying $300 a month, that would give me an additional 60K a month. Add another 20K a month from customers. I have some DIY or do-it-yourself, self-paced digital products. I'd like to have another 20K a month from that. Making in total 200K a month or 2.4 million a year across all of these different areas, right? The 2K a month, 60 clients, 200 clients a month at $300 a month, and then 20K a month extra from digital products. Now, after ads, expenses, taxes, probably be around the 1.4 million a year take-home for consulting income. And so this is what my ideal business looks like in terms of clients, how many I want to be working with, at what price points. This is it right here. Now my delivery, what would that look like? Two required Zoom calls a week, where I get on in a group setting. And I help my clients achieve the results promised in whatever consulting package they signed up for. So two Zoom calls a week, I want to have a private community for my consulting programs and occasional one-on-ones. I actually like doing one-on-one work because I'm able to find areas where people are stuck and help them get through it really quickly. And there's a lot of magic that happens when I work with people one-on-one and I actually enjoy it. And so I'd like to do those occasionally as well. But the only required things would be those two Zoom calls a week and answering and supporting people in the private community. So really simple, right? Delivery to two Zoom calls a week, private community and then occasional one-on-ones for my clients helping them achieve the results promised. I could do all of my client generation through, I'm gonna be starting up some paid advertising here soon again. Content is what I do a lot of right now and email and also closing most of my deals through chat. And so I could do this right now. I think I could do this with zero full-time employees. I do have virtual assistants overseas on my team, so I'd still have those. But full-time employees, I don't think I need any for what I have right here, this structure. And so that's what my ideal consulting business looks like. Is this structure, these amount of clients paying this amount of money on average. And also this is what the delivery would look like. So let's take a look at some examples here. I have a couple programs, this is my higher end program. It's not 2K a month, but it is a five-figure investment. It's my Rainmaker Inner Circle. So the members in here, we have 12 people right now. We have a weekly Zoom call. We jump on Zoom and I help them through different challenges and share new strategies and tactics for building one-person profitable businesses. And I also do one-on-ones with people every quarter. So every quarter the people in this group, they jump on a call with me and we make sure that we're setting the right targets, setting the right goals and making sure that we're taking the action needed to hit those goals. So that's my Rainmaker Inner Circle. That's on the higher end, the $300 a month end. I have this program here, email side hustle. We have 200 plus members in this right now. This also has a weekly Zoom call. There's no one-on-one support, but there is a private community as well, which is this right here. And then I also have digital products. So if you go here to my link tree, it's linktr.ee slash Sean Anthony Co. And I'll link to it below because I know that's a mouthful. But you can see here, there's multiple different digital products that you can click and check out. So this is my, probably my most popular one, the super fast LZ email challenge. And this is a digital product. So those are examples of offers at different ranges in my consulting business. And this is what I'm working towards right now is getting more clients on my higher end stuff, getting more clients onto the mid-range stuff, and then also having more clients and customers on my DIY self-paced digital products. So I create content right now, a lot of content to get people into these different offers. I close most of my deals through email and chat. I'm going to be using some ads soon to speed up this process a bit, not a ton, but enough to get this going a little quicker. And my required delivery right now is this. And I think this could take me past the $1 million year plus profit mark. But this is the exact structure and what I'm building towards right now on the consulting side. So I hope it was helpful to see this game plan or at least my personal game plan on building a $1 million year plus one person consulting business. I truly do believe I can do this with just one person without any full-time employees. We'll see, but this is my breakdown, the structure, exactly how I'm building everything out. And this is what I'm working towards every single day. So if you got value out of this, give it a like, let me know in the comments if you have any questions. And that's it for this video. I'll see you in the next one. Take it easy.
