How to Break Through $15K/Month and Build a $30K+ Consulting Practice

Last week, I shared how to escape the grind and build a 7-figure consulting business without burning out or a massive team.

This week, we’re zeroing in on the next milestone: breaking past $15K/month to create a $30K+ practice—using nothing but your existing expertise and smarter strategies across five key levers.

Imagine waking up tomorrow with your first $30K day booked—no extra certifications, no endless hours.

That’s what breaking past $15K/month could feel like: trading your hourly grind for systems that churn out revenue while you’re at the beach, your kid’s game, or simply enjoying a Tuesday afternoon off—if you get your business model right.

Why it matters:
Hitting $15K means $180K/year in your pocket. But $30K+ unlocks $360K+ annually—enough to hire help, invest in growth, and secure your freedom without doubling your workload.

Why Most Consultants Stay Stuck:
They think success comes from more hustle or “magic” skills, but real growth demands alignment across five critical levers: mindset, positioning, offers, pricing, and systems. Neglect any one of these, and you’ll keep trading hours for dollars.

Here's what I have for you in this issue:

🛠️ How To Break Though $15K/Month and Build a $30K+ Consulting Practice: Master the five core elements—positioning, offers, mindset, pricing, and systems—to attract premium clients and hit $30K+ month

🛠️ How To Analyze and Improve Performance of Your LinkedIn Posts: Leverage LinkedIn’s new analytics tools to track CTA effectiveness and double down on your highest-performing posts

Unfortunately, most talented consultants stay stuck believing growth demands more hustle or magic skills. In reality, you already have what it takes — you just need to package it smarter, not harder.

5 Reasons Smart Consultants Don't Break Through:

📌 Employee Mindset
↳ Calculating rates based on old salaries instead of the expensive problems they solve

📌 They haven't identified their expensive problem

↳ Trying to help everyone means premium rates for no one

📌 They sell time instead of transformation

↳ Hourly fees stop when you stop

📌 They rely only on one-off projects

↳ Constant prospecting is exhausting

📌 They try to figure it out alone

↳ "Why reinvent what already works?"

How to Package Your Expertise into a $30K+ Practice

The following steps align with our 5-Part 7-Figure Accelerator System™

✅ Step 1: Map Your $100K+ Problem

Identify the one expensive issue SMB owners lose sleep over.

➜ Review career wins. What outcomes saved or made clients $100K+? One of my clients discovered their lean manufacturing expertise was saving companies millions — yet they'd been trading it for a $120K salary.

✅ Step 2: Build Your Signature System

Document your approach in phases with clear steps and outcomes.

➜ Spend 45 minutes each morning outlining your framework. Share insights on LinkedIn to attract prospects before you need them.

✅ Step 3: Design Three Stacked Revenue Streams

Create offers that feed into each other, not compete.

➜ Audit Service ($2.5K–5K) → Implementation Program ($15K–25K) → Advisory Retainer ($2K–5K/mo). Our Business Breakthrough Software™ uses this exact model — and generated $3M+ without hiring a big team.

✅ Step 4: Price for Transformation, Not Time

Sell outcomes, not hours.

➜ If you save a client $250K, a $25K fee is an easy "yes." Document the ROI and show the math. Price resistance disappears when you shift from selling time to selling outcomes.

✅ Step 5: Build Systems That Scale Without You

Automate follow-ups, create templates, and foster peer support.

➜ Every consultant I know sustaining $30K+ months has systems doing the heavy lifting. They're not working harder — they're working smarter.

💡 This Week's Action

1. Craft Your Positioning Statement
   Write one sentence that spells out your $100K+ problem and ideal client.

2. Outline Your Signature System
   Sketch the 3–4 phases of your framework on a single slide or doc.

3. Map Your Transformative Sales Journey
   Draft the three milestones you'll cover in your first discovery call to lead prospects toward a “yes.”

Complete two by Friday, then share your Transformative Sales Journey outline on LinkedIn to start attracting attention.
