Bring Home the Cupcake: A Simple Recipe for Consulting Success I love bacon and bread, but there’s nothing like a cupcake—compact, satisfying, and entirely yours to enjoy. Consulting should be like that: rewarding, manageable, and something you create yourself. When I started as a consultant, I knew my expertise—Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)—was valuable, but I had no idea how to price it. I undercharged, caved to clients’ demands, overpromised, and ended up overworked and underpaid. Frustration grew, and I missed out on opportunities that could have been both lucrative and fulfilling. My path to learning the consulting business was filled with trial and error. There wasn’t a simple guide waiting for me. Instead, I pieced together knowledge through conversations, tough negotiations, and hands-on experience. Eventually, I learned how to write compelling proposals, budget my time, set fair pricing, and stand by my worth. I find it frustrating that consulting know-how often feels like a “trade secret”—hidden behind confusing blogs and complex formulas. It shouldn’t be. If you have expertise, you deserve to know how to sell it. Consulting success isn’t rocket science; it’s a step-by-step process that should be accessible to everyone. So here’s my promise: I want to help you succeed simply. Think of your consulting journey like baking a cupcake—clear steps, no hidden recipes, no secret ingredients that can't quite put your finger on. You’ve got the ingredients. Now, let’s bring home that cupcake—together.
