Imagine...

Each morning when you drift awake, your first feeling is a sense of peace. You know you have enough money in the bank to cover your needs and obligations—even without a regular corporate paycheck. You are not paralyzed by worry about feast-or-famine consulting income.

In the mind space that used to be filled with money worries and the glass ceiling on the size of your paycheck, your thoughts are now of abundance and excitement for the impact you'll create today. You're focused on serving your clients, growing your practice, and enjoying your freedom—not obsessing over your bank balance.

This is possible. And today, I'm going to show you exactly how to make it happen.

Why Most Consultants Still Worry About Money

Here's the painful truth:

Many consultants who successfully "fire their boss" end up crawling back to corporate jobs. Not because they lack expertise.

Not because they can't find clients. But because they never mastered cash flow.

The biggest mistake? Thinking that high revenue solves all problems.

You can have $50,000 months and still wake up in cold sweats about paying your bills if you don't manage your cash flow.

Here's why most get it wrong:

• They focus on monthly totals (too long to spot problems)
• They guess instead of track (the law of entropy kicks in)
• They manage reactively instead of proactively (always playing catch-up)
• They mix business and personal finances (creates chaos)
• They don't forecast far enough ahead (causes painful surprises)
