From Expert to Entrepreneur
What I've learned in the decade+ of turning my niche expertise (dementia care) into a consulting firm. If you've built (or want to build) a successful consulting business, you've come to the right Substack. Unlike the so-called "influencers" on social media talking about how easy it is to run your own business or start a side hustle, "I Can't Hustle..." is all about the truth of business ownership. Rachael Wonderlin started a blog in 2014 called "Dementia By Day," which she converted into a consulting firm in 2016. After nearly a decade of running a small, online business, Rachael has some thoughts to share.
From Expert to Entrepreneur is out of this week’s ranking: 2 confirmed days and 0 messages, below the minimum of 2 confirmed days and 5 messages.

How this is measured
