The 4-Day Work Week For Consultants with...

CONSULTING SUCCESS
About this episode

My guest today is an American running a consulting business from the mountains of Switzerland. He takes every Friday off and skis many mornings in the winter before his clients even log on. This is not an accident; it is by design. I am talking to Paul Koetke, who is a consultant that mastered the art of building a business that serves his life, not the other way around. He consciously chose to sacrifice his ego to gain more freedom.

You are going to want to stick around because we are going to break down the practical decisions that Paul made to put his lifestyle first and how you can do the same without your revenue taking a hit. 

Welcome to the Consulting Success podcast. I'm your host Michael Zipursky, and in this podcast, we're going to dive deep into the world of elite consultants where you're going to learn the strategies, tactics and mindset to grow a highly profitable and successful consulting business.

Before we dive into today's episode. Are you ready to grow and take your consulting business to the next level? Many of the clients that we work with started as podcast listeners just like you, and a consistent theme they have shared with us is that they wished they had reached out sooner about our Clarity Coaching Program rather than waiting for that perfect time. If you're interested in learning more about how we help consultants just like you, we're offering a free, no pressure growth session call. On this call, we're going to dive deep into your goals, challenges and situation and outline a plan that is tailor made just for you. We will also help you identify where you may be making costly and time consuming mistakes to ensure you're benefiting from the proven methods and strategies to grow your consulting business. 


So don't wait years to find clarity. If you're committed and serious about reaching a new level of success in your consulting business, go ahead and schedule your free growth session. Get in touch today. Just visit Consulting Success - Grow to book your free call today.
