\n

There are things you cannot read your way to. Not because they are secret \u2014 but because they only reveal themselves when you are in the middle of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are six things I learned \u2014 or understood in a new way \u2014 during the first six months of By M Consulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The freedom is real \u2014 and demanding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one tells you when to work, what to prioritize, or how to organize your day. That is wonderful. It is also harder than it sounds. Freedom requires structure \u2014 otherwise the important tends to be crowded out by the urgent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Relationships are everything<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not networking in a transactional sense. But relationships are built on genuine interest, trust over time, and reciprocity. The assignments that have come have come from people who knew me \u2014 not from advertisements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Uncertainty is not the same as instability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is always uncertain what will happen next month. I got used to it. The uncertainty is not more uncomfortable than the uncertainty that exists even in a permanent position \u2014 it is just more visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The brand is me<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I say, how I conduct myself, what I write, how I handle difficult conversations \u2014 all of that is the brand. It concentrates in a completely different way when there is no organization to stand behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Competence is necessary but not sufficient<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man kan vara bra p\u00e5 det man g\u00f6r och \u00e4nd\u00e5 misslyckas som konsult<\/a> om man inte \u00e4r tydlig med vad man erbjuder, vem man erbjuder det till och varf\u00f6r det spelar roll f\u00f6r dem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Talking about yourself is also a craft<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels strange at first. It eases. And when it is done with authenticity rather than effort \u2014 it lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have thoughts, questions, or simply want to talk something through \u2014 feel free to get in touch. I am happy to have an initial conversation with no agenda.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
