FAQs

 

ARE YOU AFFORDABLE?

While I am not inexpensive I will commit to delivering tremendous value. I do not work for free or for equity interests. In our initial conversation I will be very direct about what I can provide and what it may cost. Sometimes there is a fit and other times there isn’t at that time.

WHAT’s the difference between your work and THAT OF some established firm?

My approach is completely different than any firm: I work 1:1 with you and am wholly responsible for the output, whether that is a day-long strategy session or a complex fundraise. I have no overhead, no quotas, and no motive beyond creating sufficient value to pay for myself many times over…and help to create something great!

DO YOU DO ____________ KIND OF WORK?

Very possibly, yes. A large part of my value is in helping you to recognize the relevant patterns and dynamics, and then apply them to your goals. Let’s have a chat.
