Hit a Plateau?  

Not Getting the Clients You Want?  

Struggling with Inconsistent Revenue? 

Feeling Overwhelmed, Stuck, and Burnt Out?  

You're not alone. Many independent consultants start strong but eventually hit a wall. 

Strategies that worked before stop working and no matter how hard you push, progress feels out of reach.

That's where the Consulting Mastery© program comes in. 

You Start When You're Ready and

 You Get Support Exactly When You Need It.


Your success starts with you. 

The Consulting Mastery program provides you the strategic framework, tactics, support, and community to help you make it happen.


It’s a structured path for independent consultants who take ownership of and accountability for their success and are ready to do the work that leads to consistent, meaningful results.



Consulting Mastery Is for You If...

  • You want clear strategies and next steps to transform your business.

  • You’re unsure how to stand out and become the “go-to” expert in your space.

  • You’re tired of being busy without landing the right clients or income you deserve.

  • You’re juggling everything alone and wondering if you’ll ever build the business — and life — you envisioned.


Being an independent consultant is about working alone but

it doesn’t mean you need to be alone.


A Curriculum That Focuses on What Matters

Consulting Mastery isn’t about piling on endless content or overwhelming you with “one more thing to try.” 


When I designed the program, I took a hard look at what consultants really need to succeed and spoke with numerous successful consultants and even those that decided to give up. My goal was to design a curriculum that’s both robust and focused.


You’ll learn and apply the essential building blocks of a thriving consulting business, following a less-is-more approach that zeroes in on the actions that matter most.


And because support is built into the program — with weekly clinics, monthly workshops and discussions, and a community where you can ask questions anytime — you’ll never be left wondering — Am I doing this right?



What You’ll Achieve with Consulting Mastery

This isn’t just another course. It’s a flexible framework based on the Consultant's Blueprint© with real support that helps you:

  • Gain Business Core Clarity — Define your focus, ideal client, point of view, and service offering so you know exactly what you stand for, who you serve, and how your assistance is different than other consultants.
  • Build Awareness of You – Learn how to market you in a way that feels authentic and genuine.

Still Have Questions?

Here are Answers to Commonly Asked Questions.

  • Why did you create the Consulting Mastery program?

    The more I worked with independent consultants the more I noted those that progressed the fastest were professionals that were interested in understanding the big picture, the overall strategy. 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 Consultant's Blueprint and this related program, a program that enables people to work at their own pace but also provides the much need support so that they are not going it alone.

  • How do I join the Consulting Mastery program?

    Schedule a one-on-one conversation with me. Yes, me and not someone working with me. The reason is I want to ensure the program is a fit for you. It is in my interest as well as yours to see you succeed. Click on one of the scheduling buttons on this landing page to access to my calendar.

  • How long does it take to get through the program?

    Some consultants have completed the course material within 3 months while others have taken 6 or more months to complete the course material. This program is flexible enabling you to follow your plan and work at your own own pace, a pace that fits their schedule and comfort level. With life time access to the material, you are in the position to continually revisit the material and many consultants do just that.

  • Is there an outline or a structure for the Consulting Mastery program?

    Yes and No. The program is based on the Consultant's Blueprint and is sequential starting with you working on your Business Core because your Focus, Ideal Client, and Point of View drive so many of your decisions and actions. When you sign-up for the program, you perform an assessment. The assessment is a starting point and used by us to develop a unique plan for you. Additionally, life happens. The program is designed to be flexible so that your next steps can be adjust as you continue to build your business as you work with clients.

  • What if I need more support than provided?

    The material is quite robust but I do understand where a person might need additional assistance. That is why there is a topic discussion every week, a weekly clinic, and a Community Group. If you still additional help, you can send me an email and let's talk. My aim is to help you succeed and I do my best to help you do just that.

  • What types of questions can I ask during the Weekly Clinics or in the Community Group?

    You can ask questions about anything that is related to the material in Consulting Mastery program. This includes messages about validating your ideal client's interest in your focus, finding your ideal client, connecting with potential client challenges, a tough client situation, client objections, pricing your services, being ghosted, saying No, managing your time struggles, and much more. Questions about legal structures, professional liability insurance, or tax liabilities are not discussed. I recommend you connect with a professional service provider who is an expert in that particular area.

  • What if I still have a question?

    If you still have a question, we can discuss the question during a Consulting Strategy call or email me at [email protected]. Emails are responded within 48 hours on Monday through Friday.

What Consultants Have Said...

“More Confidence and More Prepared as Prospective Clients Find Me 👉 When I launched my consulting business, I had no direct consulting experience. My organizational and leadership knowledge and expertise was solid, but when it came to consulting, reading books wasn’t enough. I needed someone who could share expertise as well as guide, encourage, and challenge me. While on LinkedIn, I discovered Laura Burford and signed up for a webinar where it became clear I had much to learn about the “ins and outs” of building a consulting business. I enrolled in Laura's Consulting program, which helped me articulate my focus, Leadership Excellence within Education. Understanding my focus helped me define how I serve my clients and enabled me to establish an approach to networking and relationship building. I am much more confident and equipped to find and support my clients. What is great is my prospective clients are finding me and responding with more enthusiasm now that my communication incorporates the principles Laura taught me. I am prepared and ready for all stages of the consulting relationship due to the theory and practice learned from Laura through the Consulting Jumpstart Blueprint program. ”

Allison Langford, Ed.D, ABL Wise Consulting

“Executing a pivot led to confidence and energy to engage 👉 I am confident in my abilities for specialty chemicals and materials processing, but was anxious about moving from my previous corporate career to that of a consultant. Even though I have a strong peer network, I was unsure as to how to identify potential clients. Being a strong believer in making a powerful first impression, I wanted to clearly articulate the services and value I provide to a client. Working with Laura, I quickly learned the power of less being more and the importance of narrowing my consulting focus. This resulted in tailoring my message and aligning my focus with the commercialization challenges facing business development leaders. Additionally, Laura helped me move outside of my comfort zone and focus my energy on further developing my service offering and strategically reaching out to build relationships to find potential opportunities. ”

John Gohndrone, Ph.D, JMG Process Solutions, LLC

“Gained clarity around my focus, ideal client, and brand. 👉 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

“Successful engaged with new clients without using third parties 👉 After years of working with third parties to find work, I decided to directly acquire my own clients but didn’t know where to start. Laura's consulting program helped me clarify my focus and ideal client—helping CIOs obtain the benefits of agile transformation without destroying the morale of their staff—and improve my approach as to how I support my client’s needs. The best part is as I validated my agile offer, within a couple months I engaged with two new clients without the use of any third parties. With increased confidence, I’m now positioned to productize my services and to continue building relationships. If I get stuck, I know I can get help by joining a weekly call or dropping a question in the community group. ”
