Promise Consulting Group, LLC

Exactly 10 years ago today, I left corporate to begin consulting full-time.

Giving up a guaranteed paycheck every two weeks was scary. But I didn't just jump blindly, I had a plan:

- I already had a few clients before making the final exit.
- My only real costs were a laptop and a phone.
- If I lost one client, I still had others to fall back on.
- I built a strict 30-day notice period into every contract.
- And the ultimate safety net: I told myself I could always go back to corporate if it didn't work out.

A decade later, never say never, but I don’t expect I will.

Working for yourself is not for everyone. Neither is working remotely, or managing your own days from home. It takes a specific mindset. But for me, it’s a perfect fit. I’m self-motivated, I thrive on a good challenge and I do my best work when there's variety.

Above all, I wanted flexibility. This path gave me total geographic freedom – I can work from anywhere, and I often do.

The best part? The people. I’ve worked with more than 50 companies and hundreds of different teammates. My approach has always been the same: I operate as a true part of the team, never just a consultant on the outskirts.

It hasn't all been a smooth ride. Every business faces tough situations and tricky dynamics to navigate. But looking back at the last 10 years, it’s been better than I could have ever imagined.

To every leader who trusted me with their business, and every teammate who welcomed me into their world – thank you for making the last decade a great adventure!
