You are waiting on yourself. If people already come to you for solutions, strategies, and tips inside your field, you are already consulting, you are just doing it for free. The shift is not learning a new skill, it is packaging what you already deliver into a clear offer, pricing it for the value it creates, and telling the people who already trust you that you are open for business. Start with one specific problem, one starter package, one value based price, and one list of 10 to 15 people who know your work. Then make the offer. Perfection is not coming. Conversations are. Have them.
