MIND THE GAP
You recently experienced an unexpected job loss, and you need to monetize your gifts quickly. You’re familiar with fractional professional services, but unsure where and how to start and find clients.
You are not alone. The first time this happened to me was in 2011. Half of my department was unexpectedly laid off. Finding a new job can be tough or take months of applying and networking. Fractional work can help bridge the gap, but you are so overwhelmed that you don’t know where to start.
CLOSE THE GAP
Fractional work can provide an income bridge to the next opportunity or can become your next full-time position.
Fractional work is taking off. It’s a little more involved than being a freelancer or consultant. You are temporarily standing in for an executive or leadership level while helping the company bridge its talent gap.
Even though I returned to working as a willing employee, I have continued to maintain my business, even including it in employment contracts.
By the end of this edition, you will be able to market yourself as a highly skilled fractional professional, find willing buyers, and get an epic list of resources.
