About this episode

Leaving a prestigious job and starting a consulting business is a hard decision that every independent consultant had to face.  But Pradnya Haldipur did it and she did it successfully – no consulting business plan involved.  She left a senior role at Doctors Without Borders to start a consulting company. Twelve months in, she was doing better than she'd expected.  We first talked to Pradnya during the first few months of her launching her independent practice. We brought her back a year later to see what happened, and ask her a few things we missed the first time around.   This is the third part of our Win Trust, Win Six Figures series about establishing a trusted brand as an independent consultant.  Pradnya Haldipur to show us what happens when someone executes this advice under real pressure.
