The Journey

Exploration Phase

“Can I build wealth by advising?”

Board seats pay $25K-$75K per year. Advisory equity can be worth millions at exit. Fractional C-suite roles pay $150K-$400K. The economics are radically different. Start here.

“One of the mistakes I see people make is they try to be generalist. Boards are looking for experts. I need somebody that does cybersecurity. Are you that expert?”

Preparation Phase

“How do I position myself?”

Advisory roles come from positioning, relationships, and being known for something specific. A board seat goes to the expert. A fractional engagement goes to the person who has done it before.

“Sometimes companies don't have the capital to pay this retainer, but you have to ask yourself, what else can they offer? Board experience and equity will serve us all well as we're building wealth.”
