The independent path,
explained.
Not ready to commit? That is fine. Here is what the independent professional path actually looks like. No pitch, no pressure.
What does “build your own” actually mean?
You set the rates. You own the clients. You keep 100%.
Whether you are a fractional CMO, a strategy consultant, an executive coach, or an advisory board member, the math is the same: 2–4 clients at $10K–$25K a month = $240K–$1.2M annually.
No placement firm taking a cut forever. No employer deciding your ceiling. Your expertise, your practice, your life.

Now he is teaching it directly. No firm, no commissions, no middleman. Just a small group of members building their independent practices together.
