About the Programme
1. What is ConsultLaunch™?
ConsultLaunch™ is a structured 12-week business-building programme designed to help professionals and experts turn their knowledge, skills and experience into a professional consultancy business.
Rather than simply teaching you how to become a consultant, the programme helps you work through the practical foundations required to build, launch and develop a sustainable consultancy.
Over 12 weeks, you’ll work through 12 modules covering everything from understanding the consulting business model and identifying your niche to creating your offer, attracting clients, delivering your services and preparing your consultancy for future growth.
2. What is the main goal of ConsultLaunch™?
The goal of ConsultLaunch™ is to help you move from having professional expertise to having the foundations of a structured consultancy business.
By working through the programme, you’ll develop greater clarity around what you offer, who you serve, how you attract and convert clients, how you deliver your consulting services and how you can build a consultancy that is commercially viable and capable of growing beyond simply selling your time.
3. Is ConsultLaunch™ a course?
ConsultLaunch™ includes educational content, but it is designed as an implementation programme rather than a passive online course.
You’ll be encouraged to apply what you learn directly to your own consultancy as you progress through the programme.
The aim isn’t simply to finish 12 modules. It’s to use those modules, together with the practical tools and resources provided, to build the foundations of your consultancy.
4. How is ConsultLaunch™ structured?
ConsultLaunch™ is organised into 12 modules across three phases:
Phase One — Weeks 1–4: Build the Foundations of Your Consultancy
You’ll explore the consulting business model, identify your expertise and niche, design your consulting offer and establish the foundations of your consultancy business.
Phase Two — Weeks 5–8: Turn Your Expertise into Something Clients Can Buy
You’ll work on pricing and packaging your services, client acquisition, sales and conversion, and delivering excellent consulting engagements.
Phase Three — Weeks 9–12: Build the Engine Behind Your Consultancy
You’ll focus on authority and credibility, scaling beyond yourself, financial planning and sustainability, and bringing everything together to prepare for the launch and first 90 days of your consultancy.
5. Is ConsultLaunch™ based on The Leverage Your Knowledge Method™?
ConsultLaunch™ is powered by the principles of The Leverage Your Knowledge Method™, my signature approach to helping people recognise and commercialise the value within their knowledge, skills and experience.
However, ConsultLaunch™ has been specifically designed for building a consultancy and therefore has its own 12-module, three-phase programme structure.
You do not need to complete The Leverage Your Knowledge Method™ programme before joining ConsultLaunch™.
Who ConsultLaunch™ Is For
6. Who is ConsultLaunch™ designed for?
ConsultLaunch™ is primarily designed for professionals and experts who have valuable knowledge, skills and experience that could form the basis of a consultancy.
This may include:
- Experienced professionals considering becoming independent consultants
- Professionals preparing to transition from employment into consultancy
- Specialists who want to monetise their expertise
- Freelancers who want to develop a more structured consultancy model
- New consultants who need stronger business foundations
- Existing consultants who want to review and strengthen how their consultancy operates
You don’t need decades of consulting experience. What matters more is having knowledge, skills or professional experience that can potentially solve valuable problems for clients.
7. Do I need previous consulting experience?
No.
ConsultLaunch™ starts with the Foundations of Consultancy, including understanding the consulting business model, before moving into the practical process of building your consultancy.
The programme is therefore suitable for someone entering consultancy for the first time as well as someone who has already started consulting but wants more structure.
8. Do I need to have a consultancy already?
No.
You can join ConsultLaunch™ while you’re still preparing to establish your consultancy.
In fact, the programme is designed to help you build the foundations before or during your launch.
If you’ve already started consulting, you can use the programme to strengthen areas such as your niche, offer, pricing, client acquisition, sales process, service delivery and growth strategy.
9. Can I complete ConsultLaunch™ while I’m still employed?
Yes.
ConsultLaunch™ can be particularly relevant if you’re currently employed and exploring or actively preparing for a future transition into consultancy.
You can work through the programme while developing the foundations of your consultancy alongside your existing professional commitments.
You should, however, check any contractual restrictions, confidentiality obligations, intellectual property provisions or other requirements associated with your employment before starting a business alongside your role.
10. What if I know I have valuable expertise but don’t know whether consultancy is the right business for me?
If you’re still trying to determine what type of business you could build around your expertise, The Leverage Your Knowledge Method™ may be the better starting point.
ConsultLaunch™ is most appropriate when you already know—or are reasonably confident—that consultancy is the business model you want to pursue.
Your pre-assessment will help me understand where you are and determine which route is likely to be more appropriate.
11. Is ConsultLaunch™ only for people leaving corporate careers?
No.
Although experienced professionals transitioning from employment are one important audience, the programme isn’t restricted to corporate career changers.
It can also support specialists, freelancers, independent professionals and existing consultants who want to create a more structured consultancy business around their expertise.
12. What types of consultancy can I build through the programme?
ConsultLaunch™ isn’t restricted to one industry or consulting specialism.
The underlying business-building principles can potentially be applied across many professional consultancy areas, including management, operations, HR, finance, marketing, digital, technology, strategy, project management, sustainability and other specialist professional fields.
Your own professional expertise should determine the consultancy you build.

14. Will ConsultLaunch™ help me choose my consultancy niche?
Yes.
Module 2 focuses specifically on Identifying Your Expertise & Niche.
You’ll examine your existing knowledge, experience and capabilities and consider where those strengths could create commercial value for a specific market or client group.
The objective is to help you move away from trying to offer consulting services to everyone and towards a clearer area of expertise and opportunity.
15. Will I create my consulting offer during the programme?
Yes.
Creating your consulting offer is a core part of ConsultLaunch™.
Module 3 focuses on transforming your expertise into a consulting service that addresses a meaningful client problem, while Module 5 develops this further by helping you think about how that service should be priced and packaged.
16. Does the programme cover how to find clients?
Yes.
Module 6 — Client Acquisition Fundamentals focuses on building a consistent flow of consulting opportunities.
You’ll explore practical ways of identifying, reaching and engaging potential clients rather than relying solely on referrals or waiting for enquiries to arrive.
17. Does ConsultLaunch™ cover selling consulting services?
Yes.
Module 7 — Sales & Conversion focuses on turning conversations and opportunities into consulting clients.
The aim is to help you develop a clearer and more professional route from initial interest through to a potential consulting engagement.
18. Does the programme cover delivering consulting work?
Yes.
Winning a client is only one part of building a successful consultancy.
Module 8 — Service Delivery Excellence looks at how you deliver consulting engagements in a way that creates value for clients and supports positive outcomes, repeat business and referrals.
19. Will I learn how to scale my consultancy?
Yes, although the objective isn’t to suggest that every consultancy needs to become a large firm.
Module 10 — Scaling Beyond Yourself introduces ways of thinking beyond a consultancy that depends entirely on your individual time and capacity.
Depending on your business, this could eventually include systems, standardised processes, productised services, intellectual property, associates, digital resources or other scalable assets.
20. Does ConsultLaunch™ cover financial planning?
Yes.
Module 11 — Financial Planning & Sustainability helps you consider the financial foundations required to build a commercially viable consultancy.
This is business-planning guidance rather than personalised accounting, tax, investment or regulated financial advice. Where necessary, you should obtain professional advice appropriate to your circumstances and location.
Time, Format & Delivery
21. How long does ConsultLaunch™ take?
ConsultLaunch™ is structured as a 12-week programme, with one core module corresponding to each week.
This provides a clear progression while giving you time to apply what you’re learning to your own consultancy.
22. How much time should I commit each week?
As a general guideline, I recommend allowing approximately 3–5 hours per week.
This includes time to work through the programme content and, importantly, apply what you’re learning to your own consultancy.
A typical week might involve around:
1–2 hours working through the learning materials and guidance, and
2–3 hours completing practical implementation activities such as research, developing your offer, working on your pricing, approaching potential clients or creating your business systems.
Some weeks may require more or less time depending on your circumstances and progress.
A useful approach is approximately 30–45 minutes a day or two focused implementation sessions each week.
23. Do I have to complete everything exactly within 12 weeks?
The 12-week structure is there to give you momentum, direction and a practical roadmap.
However, building a business isn’t a race. Some activities—particularly market research, validation, client acquisition and sales—may naturally take longer depending on your market and circumstances.
The emphasis should be on consistent implementation rather than rushing simply to finish the programme.
24. Is ConsultLaunch™ self-paced?
The core programme is designed so that you can work through the materials around your own professional and personal commitments, while using the 12-week structure as your implementation roadmap.
Your access arrangements and any additional support included with your chosen option will be explained when you enrol.
25. Can I access ConsultLaunch™ from outside the UK?
Yes, the programme can be accessed online from outside the UK.
However, legal, tax, regulatory, insurance, business-registration and professional requirements vary between countries and industries.
ConsultLaunch™ provides business-building education and guidance; you remain responsible for ensuring that your consultancy complies with the requirements that apply to you.
Pre-Assessment, Enrolment & Payment
26. How do I join ConsultLaunch™?
The joining process is straightforward:
1. Read the ConsultLaunch™ programme page.
2. Complete the ConsultLaunch™ Programme Pre-Assessment.
3. Receive a response within 48 hours with guidance on what to do next.
4. If the programme is appropriate, you’ll receive a secure payment link to complete your enrolment.
5. Once enrolled, you’ll receive the information you need to access the programme.
If you’ve selected an option that includes implementation support, you’ll also receive details explaining how to access that support.
27. Why do I need to complete a pre-assessment?
The pre-assessment helps me understand your professional background, where you are in your consultancy journey, what you’re trying to achieve and whether ConsultLaunch™ is likely to be appropriate for your needs.
It takes approximately 5 minutes to complete.
There is no obligation to purchase the programme simply because you’ve submitted a pre-assessment.
28. Do I need to book a discovery call before joining?
Not necessarily.
I use an enquiry-first pre-assessment process rather than requiring everyone to book a discovery call.
If your pre-assessment provides enough information and ConsultLaunch™ appears appropriate, I can send you the next steps for joining directly.
If something needs further exploration, I may invite you to a conversation before recommending enrolment.
29. How quickly will I receive a response to my pre-assessment?
I aim to respond within 48 hours of receiving your completed pre-assessment.
You’ll then be advised of the appropriate next step.
30. Does completing the pre-assessment guarantee that I can join?
No.
The purpose of the pre-assessment is to determine whether ConsultLaunch™ appears suitable for where you are and what you want to achieve.
If I believe another programme, resource or type of support would be more appropriate, I’ll let you know.
31. How do I pay for ConsultLaunch™?
If you’re invited to enrol, you’ll receive a secure payment link with your next-step information.
Any available payment options will be clearly explained before you complete your purchase.
32. When will I receive access to the programme?
Once your enrolment and payment have been successfully completed, you’ll receive instructions explaining how to access ConsultLaunch™ and get started.
Please refer to your enrolment information for the specific access arrangements that apply to your purchase.
33. What is the refund policy?
Any applicable cancellation or refund rights will be explained in the Terms & Conditions and Refund/Cancellation Policy provided before or at the point of purchase.
Please review these carefully before enrolling.
Implementation Support
34. Is implementation support available?
Yes. Depending on the ConsultLaunch™ option you choose, you may be able to add or select implementation support alongside the core programme.
This is designed for participants who would benefit from additional guidance while applying the programme to their own consultancy.
35. What does implementation support include?
The exact level and format of support will depend on the programme option selected.
If you’ve opted for implementation support, you’ll receive separate information explaining:
- What support is included
- How to access it
- How and when to submit questions or requests
- Any relevant response times or boundaries
- How long the support is available
This ensures you know exactly what to expect before you begin.
36. Do I need implementation support to complete ConsultLaunch™?
No.
The core programme is designed to provide a structured roadmap, guidance and practical resources that you can work through independently.
Implementation support is for participants who would prefer additional input while putting what they learn into practice.
Results & Expectations
37. Will I have a fully launched consultancy after 12 weeks?
ConsultLaunch™ is designed to help you work towards building and launching the foundations of your consultancy over 12 weeks.
However, everyone’s starting point, market, available time, experience and implementation speed are different.
Some participants may be ready to begin operating their consultancy during the programme, while others may need additional time after completing the modules.
Module 12 helps you bring your work together and prepare for your first 90 days, so the end of the programme should be viewed as the beginning of the next stage of building your consultancy rather than the end of the journey.
38. Does ConsultLaunch™ guarantee that I will get clients?
No.
ConsultLaunch™ provides strategies, frameworks, tools and guidance to help you build and market your consultancy, but it cannot guarantee clients, revenue or specific business results.
Your results will depend on factors including your expertise, chosen market, offer, pricing, implementation, sales activity, market conditions and the decisions you make.
39. Will you build my consultancy for me?
No.
ConsultLaunch™ is designed to help you build your consultancy.
You’ll receive the structure, guidance, frameworks and practical tools to support the process, but you’ll need to carry out the research, make the decisions, develop your offers, speak to potential clients and implement what you learn.
That’s an important part of the programme: by building these foundations yourself, you develop a much deeper understanding of how your consultancy works.
40. What should I expect to have worked towards by the end of the programme?
Depending on your starting point and level of implementation, you’ll have worked towards developing:
- A clearer understanding of the consulting business model
- A defined area of expertise and consultancy niche
- A structured consulting offer
- A more professional consultancy business foundation
- A pricing and packaging approach
- A client acquisition strategy
- A clearer sales and conversion process
- A structured approach to service delivery
- An authority and credibility strategy
- Ideas for scaling beyond your individual capacity
- A financial sustainability plan
- A practical launch and first 90-day action plan
The emphasis is on creating usable business foundations, not simply completing learning materials.
41. What if I already have some of these elements in place?
That’s fine.
You don’t necessarily need to be starting from zero.
If you’ve already created an offer, worked with clients or established parts of your consultancy, you can use the relevant modules to review, strengthen and systemise what you already have.
Your pre-assessment will also help determine whether the programme is appropriate for your current stage.
42. What happens after I complete ConsultLaunch™?
Module 12 brings the programme together by helping you prepare for your first 90 days of implementation and growth.
From there, your focus shifts from building the foundations to consistently applying them—developing your pipeline, winning and serving clients, strengthening your reputation, refining your systems and identifying opportunities for sustainable growth.
Where appropriate, additional strategic or implementation support may also be available separately.
Still Not Sure Whether ConsultLaunch™ Is Right for You?
You don’t need to make that decision alone.
The ConsultLaunch™ Programme Pre-Assessment is designed to help me understand where you are, what you’re trying to achieve and whether the programme is the appropriate next step.
