Key ideas in From Corporate to Cash
- Start with a niche where your corporate experience already gives you credibility.
- Turn expertise into a defined offer and price it on value, often as a monthly retainer.
- Find the first clients through your warm network (the Warm 50) before any cold outreach.
- Run a disciplined discovery call, a clear proposal and a signed scope of work.
- Use AI tools as practice staff for research, drafting and operations.
Results depend on the individual, their market and their effort. The Pivot Lab does not promise income.
