Consulting JUMPSTART Blueprint
Big Picture Overview to Step-by-Step Instructions
A program designed for the independent professional worker who is building and growing their own consulting business.
Consulting JUMPSTART Blueprint is for the independent professional worker who realizes the importance of understanding the big picture and how the pieces fit together but they are also interested in a step-by-step approach to assemble the pieces.
Consulting JUMPSTART Blueprint dives down into the Consultancy Model©. The series of discussions and step-by-step actions to help a consultant clarify their focus, the foundation of their business, define their ideal client, craft a brand message, and outline their point of view – the CORE for their consulting business. The program continues with discussions and actions to help you build trusted relationships with the help of various awareness techniques and tactics. It concludes with a discussion and templates to help you discuss an opportunity, determine the right approach as well as right price, all of which lead to a proposal and contract.
Because no two consulting businesses are the same and every consultant’s ideas, decisions, and actions are unique to them, the flexible nature of Consulting JUMPSTART Blueprint enables the consultant to progress at their own pace. A consultant can traverse different paths as they shape a consulting business that fits their ideal client’s needs and wants as well as their personal and professional requirements.
Why Consulting JUMPSTART Blueprint…
The more I worked with independent workers, particularly consultants, I noted those that progressed the fastest were professionals that were interested in understanding the big picture. They wanted to ensure they were making the right decisions for them or at least the right decision for them at that time. I went searching for ways to help them, only to discover bits and pieces and tactical steps to follow, but the reasons behind the actions or how one decision impacted another simply was not there. And that was not acceptable to me. What resulted was the creation of the Consultancy Model and now Consulting JUMPSTART Blueprint, an online series of courses designed to support the model.

What People Have Said...
“Within 90 days less resulted in more money - I started my consulting business enthusiastic, but after a few months I was still spinning my wheels and struggling to define my focus resulting in limited client opportunities. The Consultancy Model and Laura’s ability to help me leverage my strengths, narrow my focus, and clarify my point of view enabled me to create and then deliver a concise, aligned message to the right people. The result-several new clients and fully booked on engagements. Beyond the obvious financial benefit, my confidence in how I present myself is at an all-time high. ”
Ryan Walter, Parrels Advisory
“I started taking Laura’s courses when I began my consulting and coaching business because I needed to gain clarity around several consulting topics. The courses are clear and concise but the work you do is heavy lifting. Laura challenges you to think beyond what you know and requires you to think outside your comfort zone. Her approach helped me gain clarity around my focus, ideal client, and brand. I highly recommend Laura's courses and the support and interaction you receive from Laura. Believe me when I say her objective is your success.”
Charlotte Anderson, Transformation Keys, LLC
“Combining of my passions leads to viable Consulting Career - As both a nonprofit executive and a professional comedic improviser, I was struggling to combine my passions into a viable consulting career. Now I am poised to launch my own business helping professional women unlock their power as public speakers. With Laura's support and guidance, I was able to hone in on my focus, ideal client, and messaging with confidence. Laura is a great listener with a personalized approach, and the system she has developed provided the structure I needed to actually make progress towards my goals. ”
Lura Barber, Phase Zero Consulting, LLC
“I found the tools and Laura’s approach invaluable in helping me to understand my targeted client, the service offerings I can provide, and the messaging to use. Without this course, I would have struggled and made many mistakes. The course provided the confidence to pursue my client in a clear and laser-focused way!”
Tom Scurria, IAWL Advisory, LLC
“I’ve tried to establish my own consulting practice, but struggled. After taking Laura’s course and actively participating in the group discussions, I realize my services were too broad and my message needed to be further refined so that it was more than good-it was great.”
