What you'll learn

Design fractional work around your life

Learn how to start with your time, energy, and income needs, then design fractional work that fits them.

Position yourself narrowly without boxing yourself in

Learn why specificity drives referrals and how to pick one clear positioning that still leaves room to evolve.

Build a sustainable fractional portfolio

Learn how to combine advisory, part-time, and interim work to avoid income volatility and burnout.

Why this topic matters

Full-time work no longer offers the stability it once did. Layoffs and reorganizations have made even strong roles feel fragile. Fractional work offers a new way to build security through multiple clients and income streams. This lesson shares practical frameworks for designing fractional work intentionally, so it creates resilience and control instead of stress.
