Introducing…
THIS IS MY SIGNATURE 6-WEEK ONLINE PROGRAM TO SUPPORT YOU TO…
GET CLEAR ON & Launch your online consulting business using your existing skills
Build a business based on the things you enjoy doing that give you purpose so that work actually feels fun
Secure your first paying clients & REPLACE YOUR CORPORATE INCOME working less
Align your work with your lifestyle, location and values
Develop the right mindset to help you succeed
Do you feel like you’re meant for more than your current career has to offer?
Or already in business and want to diversify your revenue streams (including while you sleep)?
You’re at the top of your field already or you’re looking up the ladder and you don’t want to climb further up, and you can’t see yourself doing the same thing in 3, 5 or 10 years. You’ve always known you’ll make a change when the time’s ‘right’. But there’s never a good time…
Or you’re already a consultant, and tired of exchanging hours for money…
You want MORE from life.
You desire to make a difference. You want to use your strengths to support others in a deeper way. You want to do your best work in the world and fulfil your potential, and you want it to FEEL fulfilling. You don’t want to just be a number. You want to build something that you can feel incredibly proud of, that no one can take away from you with the crunch of a number or the whip of an excel spreadsheet.
You want to earn great money and feel secure in your finances, but you also want to be creative and do different things. You want to spend your time working on projects that light you up - it’s not a money thing, although money is necessary. And the more money you earn, the more you can make a positive difference in the world.
You want to do great work, but you don’t want to burn out.
You want to work without the hustle and stress. You want to spend more quality time with your friends and family, and doing things that you enjoy. Going to the beach. or spending time outdoors. Yoga. Running. Swimming. Writing. Cooking. Reading. Painting. Playing music. Living.
You want to use all of the strengths and skills you’ve been developing and honing for years, because you’re really, really good at what you do.
You really like what you do, but you can’t help but think there has to be a better way. You feel capped income-wise and want the freedom to be able to generate more money so that you have more choice. Or, you’ve stopped caring about the money and are just desperate to feel fulfilled and purposeful again, and to rediscover yourself because you’ve forgotten who you are as a person amidst the hustle of work and life.
You want to stop exchanging hours for money.
You’re ready to create more diversity of income and have the work that you do, work for you longer-term. You want to create online courses, products, be an affiliate, and other revenue streams that make money while maximising your time so that you can scale your business.
Imagine if you could replace your corporate income working several days a week so that you are free to scale and do other amazing things, like launch that second coaching or creative business, or just spend more time with your family, travelling, and doing things that you love?

Defining your ‘why’ is going to support you in your online business by helping you to push through despite challenges, feel more fulfilled in your work, and help others understand and connect with your work to know whether it is the right solution for them.
CREATING MY VISION
While your ‘why’ will keep you anchored to the bigger reasons you are transitioning your services into an online business, your vision will provide a guideline for the path that you want to walk.

This lesson includes a business plan template and timeline to help you get straight into action in your online business. You’ll also receive a worksheet to help you get clear on what you want your business days to look like. It's your life, and your business. YOU get to create your days.

TARGET MARKET QUESTIONNAIRE
This is an interview template for your target market to sample whether the services/product you would like to offer is something they would viably pay for.
Here’s what sets The Online Consultant apart…
I’ve walked the path and created the results myself first. I know what works and exactly how to achieve success, and how you can too.
I’ve felt ALL the feels of leaving a long-term corporate role that I worked very hard to build, and I know every single emotion that comes with making a change. It takes self belief, self trust, and long-term thinking. It takes knowing that you only have ONE life and that finding a new job will always be there, if you were to want to go back down that path, but you’re ready and willing to go ALL IN on this business idea.
The Online Consultant contains all the resources and support I wish I’d had on my journey from corporate to consultant.
By the end of our time together, you’ll have…
A solid, clear plan for how you’d like your business to be set up and what you want to work on
Your initial service offers mapped out so you can start to line up and land clients
Clarity on how much revenue you need to bring in and exactly how you’ll do that
A business strategy that sets you up for success so that you know the exact steps to take to move forward
Knowledge about how you want to spend your workdays, what you want to spend them doing and who you want to spend them with
A realistic timeline for when you’ll be stepping into your business
The skills to manage your time and mindset effectively to set you up for optimal productivity so you can take your time back
Connections with a community of like-minded professionals looking to launch businesses
An understanding of how to start building your personal brand to attract clients and opportunities
A renewed sense of focus, purpose and fulfilment in your work and life
“The Online Consultant gave me the tools to find clarity on my business offering, ideal client, best ways to market my services, financial set up, and website content. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone considering starting an online consulting or coaching business as it helps you to navigate the process of setting up the fundamentals and to support you through the process of creating a profitable business.”
-Cat Lai, Real Estate Consultant & Executive Health Coach
“Since starting The Online Consultant, I’ve launched a website, secured my first paying client and am stepping into my business! I would definitely recommend this course to friends who were looking to start their own business because it really does lead you through the key steps and considerations. It is also motivating beyond anything I was expecting.
I made SO much progress in such a short time! It was so helpful to have the weekly group coaching calls with Bec and other people going through similar stuff as me.”
- Kira Kozulin, Business Copywriter, Ivory Edit
"Since doing The Online Consultant, I've refined my business idea and concept; taken on a group of new clients for original, commissioned artworks; built business relationships; sold and shipped products and marketed myself on social media. I have established relationships with two businesses to sell my products so far, and am now building a new website with more direction and purpose.
Three lessons that stood out for me when taking the course were to know your why, value your worth, and just get started. I loved Bec’s open and responsive communication, and her ability to listen and troubleshoot through any situation you may come across. I highly recommend The Online Consultant for any professional women looking to start an online business that aligns with their values and interests. The course has given me a clear path and structure to move forward with my business. You can get so much out of the content over and over again. The business plan evolves with you and the support, experience and and vision that Bec brings is life changing."
- Jasmine Lewis, Artist and Teacher, Jazz Lee Art
“After completing The Online Consultant, I have the inspiration and confidence to move forward in my career on my own terms, learning to appreciate the value of my knowledge and experience and my potential to have a real impact. I found the resources so useful, including the spreadsheets on managing finances and business relationships. It was an incredibly comprehensive course and Bec’s positive, inspirational energy and enthusiasm, as well as connecting with other people on similar journeys, was invaluable. I would recommend the course to anyone looking to start an online consulting business now or in the future. The Online Consultant focuses your mind on making incremental progress, not procrastinating and just getting it done. It’s really worth the investment in this course to hone your ideas into concrete outcomes that will ensure you’re really set up to fly in your new venture.”
-Emma Whiteacre, Risk Management and ESG Consultant
