The "Fire the Boss Forever" Plan (Part 3 of 5): Turn Your Expertise Into Assets That Make Money While You Sleep

Nov 06, 2024

Remember when you first started your consulting business? Trading your corporate job for the freedom to work with clients your way?
But here's what nobody tells you—even with premium pricing and group programs, you're still trading your presence for money.
Sure, you're making more per hour, but you're still limited by the hours in your day.
What if you could package your expertise into digital assets that work for you 24/7?
Imagine waking up to notification after notification of new leads, sales, and client transformations—all happening automatically while you focus on high-impact work (or enjoy that vacation you've been putting off).
Over these five weeks, we're exploring my "Fire the Boss Forever Plan"—five proven strategies that will transform your consulting business from a glorified job into a wealth-building machine that makes going back to employment unthinkable. 

Here's where we've been and where we're headed:
Week 1: Stop Trading Time for Money

Week 2: Scale Through Group Coaching
Week 3: Create Leverage with Digital Tools (Today)
Week 4: Optimize Your Calendar for Profit
Week 5: Build a Predictable Client Pipeline

Today, we're diving into the strategy that will multiply your impact exponentially: turning your expertise into digital assets that work around the clock.

 

Why Most Consultants Get Digital Tools Wrong

Here's the biggest mistake I see: treating digital tools as just a way to automate busy work. That's thinking small.

Digital tools aren't just about saving time—they're about creating new revenue streams and delivery channels that work without you.

The real power comes from using digital tools to:

✅ Attract perfect-fit clients automatically
✅ Deliver results while you sleep
✅ Create passive income streams
✅ Multiply your impact globally

Let's break down exactly how to turn your expertise into assets that work for you.

 

1. The Client Attraction Engine

If you're first getting started, remember, too techie, no checkie.

Unless you can get a turn-key solution, then keep it simple. Be a minimalist. Burn shoe leather, network your face off, work your warm list and get your first 2-3 clients or so and get to $10K+ per month.

Once you do that and get past the fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) of whether you can do this, then implement these items.

If you're there, then start by automating your client attraction.
