Overview:

Starting your own business is exciting, especially if you’ve been working for (large) organizations for a long time.

But what some people forget, or don’t consider enough, is the other side of working for yourself. How do you make sure you get paid enough, for example? What are the taxes going to be like? Where will you find your clients and, perhaps just as important, how are people going to find you?  

In this session we’ll look at: 

  • Determining your rates. 
  • Building your personal brand.
  • Taking care of admin and other necessary stuff.
  • How to think about networking.
  • Avoiding loneliness
  • Being mindful of your work-life balance

After this session, you’ll know what aspects to get in order before you jump into this new entrepreneurial adventure 

Why you should Attend:

You're a (seasoned) HR professional that has just decided to go fractional. 

Congrats!

Have you thought about:

  • Your rates?
  • How you're going to take care of your admin?
  • How you're going to position yourself/ your brand?
  • How/where your going to find your customers? (and no, 1 client is not ‘having clients’)
  • How you're going to deal with loneliness now you're all by yourself?

You may have all the relevant HR knowledge and experience necessary, but knowing how to be a successful entrepreneur is an entirely different ball game. 

In this session, we’ll touch on 5 key lessons for success as an entrepreneur, things you need to think about and sometimes also take care of before you embark on your fractional or consulting journey. 

Areas Covered in the Session:

  • Entrepreneurship 
  • Networking 
  • Personal branding 
  • Well-being 
  • Admin activities 

Who Will Benefit:

  • HR Professionals 
  • Consultant or Fractional HR Practitioner
