AJ Riedel Coaching

Independent consultants come to me exhausted from scattered time-consuming but ineffective marketing efforts, and leave with a revenue machine that delivers $10K+ months without fail. I don't just pile on more time-consuming tactics—I replace the entire scattered approach with one unified system that takes less time and effort. Finally sleep soundly with predictable income you can count on.

Tired of the feast-or-famine rollercoaster?

You're an expert consultant, but you're stuck in an exhausting cycle: scrambling for clients one month, then overwhelmed the next. You're tired of chasing referrals, hoping your network comes through, and lying awake wondering where next month's income will come from.

There's a better way.

I help self-employed consultants break free from the feast-or-famine rollercoaster by creating a predictable client attraction system so they can generate consistent $40K monthly income, work only with clients they love, and build a business that doesn't consume their life.

Here's how I help you build that system:

I show you how to position yourself as the go-to expert in your niche, create content that attracts ideal prospects, build automated nurture sequences that warm up leads, and develop a simple sales process that converts consistently. No cold calling. No desperate networking. Just a proven system that brings qualified clients to you while you focus on delivering results.

I've helped dozens of consultants escape this cycle because I lived it myself. I spent years on the hamster wheel - great months followed by panic, constantly networking, always 'on.'  I remember the Sunday night dread when I didn't have any new projects, the embarrassment of chasing down late invoices, and the exhaustion of always being in 'hustle mode.'  I cracked the code to consistent client flow through trial, error, and obsessive testing of what actually works.

What my clients achieve:
✓ Predictable monthly revenue that doesn't depend on luck or referrals
✓ A pipeline of ideal clients who value their expertise and pay premium rates
✓ Time freedom to focus on high-impact work instead of constant prospecting
✓ Peace of mind knowing their business runs smoothly without burning them out

The result? They go from stressed-out client-chasers to confident consultants with waiting lists.

Within 180 days, you'll have a system that consistently attracts qualified prospects. No more sleepless nights wondering about next month's income. No more accepting projects that drain your energy. Just a steady flow of ideal clients who value your expertise and pay you accordingly

If you're tired of wondering where your next client will come from and ready to build predictable revenue, let's connect.

P.S. - I only work with consultants who are committed to creating real change in their business. If that's you, send me a message.
