Are you wondering how consulting could fit into your business?
Today I am joined by my good friend, Kiva Slade, and she is going to be talking about how she added consulting into her business model.
Kiva is the CEO and Owner of The 516 Collaborative.
She is a Director of Operations and Certified Online Business Manager® who partners with mid 6-7 figure business owners serving as their confidante, voice of reason, and manager of operations, teams, and projects.
Kiva holds a Master’s degree in Public Administration and has operated her own jewelry business. Her 20 years of experience run the gamut from Legislative Director for a Congress member to chief encouragement officer for her teenage children.
In her free time, you can find her indulging in gluten-free desserts, playing in the dirt in her garden, or with a good book.
Today on the show, Kiva will be talking about how she added consulting into her business model, what resistances came up for her in the process, and she is giving advice on how to know if consulting is something that you would want to add to your own business model.
If you have questions about consulting, this is such a great conversation because Kiva and I are getting into it all.

- How consulting can fit into your business
