Is the thought of going out on your own both exhilarating and terrifying? I’ve been exactly where you are.You’re a seasoned operator. You’ve built teams, led complex projects, and climbed the corporate ladder. But turning that experience into a business of your own? That's uncharted territory.If you’re like most new fractionals, you’ve probably been spinning your wheels: tinkering with your website, sending cold emails with no replies, second-guessing your pricing, or wondering if you’re “doing it right.” The questions feel endless:→ How do I turn my expertise into an offer people actually want?→ How do I find and land my first clients?→ How (and what) do I charge?→ How do I set up the back-office of my business?I’ve been there. And after 3+ years, 30+ clients, and nearly doubling my 9-5 salary through fractional, consulting, and advisory work, I designed this course to give you the exact playbooks, tools, and guidance I wish I had when I started.Whether you’re ready to go all-in on fractional work, easing your way into it, or just looking to diversify your income outside of your 9-5, I'm here to help you kickstart your journey with confidence. I hope you'll learn with me!

You know this moment: you’re feeling stuck. Every team is begging for more features, and your job is to nod along and “make it work.” You’re managing by keeping everyone happy instead of making real product bets. You can feel that the strategy is off, but you don’t have a clear way to say what should stop, what should pivot, and what deserves more investment.This course gives you that decision system.In Survival Metrics, you’ll build a small set of stop / pivot / invest metrics that tie revenue, risk, and learning back to your product strategy and the politics in your org. You’ll practice turning vague ideas into crisp invest statements, then use them to run better roadmap conversations with your leadership team.Underneath it all, we’ll work on critical thinking: how to frame problems, challenge assumptions, and cut through noise so you’re no longer an order-taker, but the person others trust to make the hard calls.

Stop being an order-taker; use survival metrics to drive product strategy.

Design survival metrics that tell you when to stop, pivot, or invest.

Turn a messy roadmap into a prioritized portfolio of bets.

Lead roadmap conversations that feel clear, calm, and grounded in data.

Connect metrics to a story executives actually understand and remember.

Handle product politics with clear rules instead of endless negotiation.

Upgrade your critical thinking so you act like a product strategist.

PMs and product leaders who own a roadmap but feel prioritization is chaotic, political, and hard to defend.

PMs stuck in prioritization paralysis: everything is priority 1, nothing gets cut, and the roadmap keeps changing.

Product leaders tired of taking orders who need a clear, defensible way to say stop, pivot, or invest.
