How to Build a Consulting or Coaching Business That Lasts, with Dan Weedin (EP 176)

What do consultants and coaches who are still successful and thriving after 15-plus years in business know that the rest of us don’t?

In this episode, my guest is my longtime friend and colleague Dan Weedin, an author, speaker, and president of Emerging Risk Solutions, for a candid conversation on what it really takes to build a sustainably profitable business that keeps evolving over time.

You’ll discover why your consulting expertise alone isn’t enough, how embracing marketing and thinking like a business owner changes the game, and why knowing where your clients actually come from can help you build a more reliable path to new business.

We also cover how to know when to stay the course versus pivot, why some things that don’t work can ultimately lead you in the right direction, and the role trusting yourself plays in your long-term success.

If you want to build a consulting or coaching business you’ll still love years from now, this conversation is for you.
