The High-Income Pathway: How to Turn Your 9–5 Experience into a Premium Service Business Workshop
Thinking about launching a side business — or stepping into entrepreneurship full-time — but not sure where to begin?
In this practical, empowering session, Leslie Levito breaks down how to turn your 9–5 experience into a thriving consulting, coaching, or fractional business. Drawing from years of mentoring high-performing professionals, Leslie will walk you through what these models actually look like, how to get started, and how to leverage your existing skills and network to land high-paying clients.
This workshop is perfect for anyone considering a pivot or looking to build a premium service business without burning out or starting from scratch.
What You’ll Learn:
The difference between consulting, coaching, and fractional roles
How to identify your “marketable edge”
What you really need to get started (hint: it’s not a fancy website!)
How to make your corporate experience your greatest asset
Where to find clients and build real momentum
No prep is needed — just bring your curiosity and an open mind!
