WHY I CREATED CORPORATE TO CONSULTANT
My name is Michelle Kvello and 10 years ago I stepped out from Corporate to a Consultant life.
I left corporate life because it was no longer giving me what I needed in terms of…life. When I made the leap I was spent. I was burned out and knew that my professional choices were no longer the right ones for me.
I could see what the road ahead looked like in terms of progression and realised that it just wasn't for me anymore. I wanted to design a career and a business that aligned with my values and the balance I wanted in my life.
It wasn’t that I wanted to work less or do less. I was still extremely ambitious; my ambitions just no longer fitted within the corporate mould. I wanted more autonomy, more variety, and more flexibility around work and family.
So I jumped, practically blind, into consulting life…..and I made mistakes, many of them! From over-servicing clients to sleepless nights about my sales pipeline, from working myself into burnout (again!) to saying yes to the wrong clients.
Fast forward to today, I now run a 7 figure virtual CFO business, Lantern Partners. I have a team of 10 and work with clients both nationally and internationally. I was recently named one of the Top 50 Women in Accounting and as a finalist for CFO of the year in the Australian Accounting Awards. I am a frequent podcast guest and a regular contributor to publications including Dynamic Business and CFO Magazine.
I share this with you not to toot my own horn but to show you what’s possible. I’ve been where you are, and I've walked those really uncertain steps and I can honestly say I wouldn't change it for the world.
Because I had no plan, aside from a rough, knocked together budget that I had literally called “What’s the worst that could happen”, the road was bumpy, uncertain and far more nerve wracking than it needed to be.
I don’t want that for you.
I want you to be able to make the move, confident in your choices and with a practical guide through the key building blocks so that you achieve the success you deserve. Think of it as your 10 year head start!
That’s where Corporate to Consultant comes in
Over the years I’ve been approached so many times by people wanting to make that move. They ask me:
"How did you know you were ready to leave?"
"How did you get your first client?"
"How did you know what to charge?"
"What did you outsource first in your business?"
"What do you wish you had done differently?"
All that experience and advice is now packed into a powerful but digestible format that breaks down the key things you need to know and the next steps in making that leap a reality.
I'll also be joined by four amazing guest speakers who will also be sharing their knowledge

WHAT I COVER
MODULE ONE: FIRST STEPS
A common problem is not knowing here to start! Being really clear on your WHY is a key first step. You get to design your consulting life, do you know exactly what you want that new landscape to look like? I’ll show you how to figure that out.
MODULE TWO: TECHNICAL ASPECTS
Often new consultants don’t know how to structure their new business. I’ll take you through the key considerations around business structure, IP protection, insurances and all things financial and legal.
MODULE THREE: CLIENTS
The number one mistake is trying to be all things to all people. I’ll show you how to craft your offering starting with what your ideal client looks like, how to find them and answering the all-important question of “how do I price it”.
MODULE FOUR: TOOLS, PROCESSES AND TEAM
To grow your business, you’ll need the tools and processes to structure your work; but with so many tools available how do you choose the right one? And as you grow how and what do you outsource first.
MODULE FIVE: MENTAL SUPPORT & MINDSET
Running your own business is an endurance support! What support networks do you need and how do you get mentally prepared to give yourself the best possible chance of success.
MODULE SIX: KEY PITFALLS TO AVOID
"Success leaves clues" Tony Robbins
I made so many mistakes when I first started out.
I'll share the key pitfalls I see all the time and how you can avoid them.
MODULE SEVEN: ACTION PLAN
I don't want you to finish the course just feeling inspired.
I want you to take action! Together we will design your roadmap for launching your business.
TESTIMONIALS
Kathryn Wellum-Kent (UK)
“The conversations with Michelle made me realise that it could be possible for me too, which is something I had previously dismissed.
The content was incredibly helpful, covering off the technical things I needed to consider.
The area that I hadn’t considered previously was around the mental preparation and thinking about what support I need to put in place to help me overcome all the stuff that will likely come up as I move towards this scary and exciting new place.
If I hadn't explored with Michelle how I could move from corporate to consultant, I never would have made the leap. And that leap is enabling me to make my dreams become reality.”
Elena Stavrou (Australia)
"Michelle's insight into making the leap from corporate to consulting is invaluable! The practical, pragmatic steps that she outlines are so useful, particularly the parts around how to structure your business financially and legally, as well as how you tackle your personal mental preparation.
I have been on my own consulting journey for a couple of years, but I still have found Michelle's advice insightful. Her approach to 'Who is your client and where do you find them?' is spot on - don't just take on anyone, and make sure you profile your ideal client!
This advice has ensured that I don't overload myself with any work, but work for clients that fits within my skillset, business and fee range. I'd recommend Michelle's course to people who are looking for a practical, how-to guide to reach your dream of leaping out of corporate!"
