Plan my late-career move to consulting or part-time work. Years of experience and expertise: [EXPERTISE]. Hours and income I want, without financial specifics: [PREFERENCES]. My network and potential first clients: [NETWORK]. Concerns: [CONCERNS]. Create a six-month plan: define a clear offer, list the problems I solve, identify ten people to talk to, build a simple profile page, and set a pricing approach to test. Provide a table comparing three work models (part-time employment, independent consulting, advisory roles) on stability, effort, and fit. Write a short message to a former colleague asking for a conversation. Remind me that tax, pension and legal arrangements need professional advice in [JURISDICTION] [VERIFY], and avoid assumptions about my age or plans beyond what I wrote. Add a list of five early signals that the new model is working, such as repeat enquiries and referrals, and three that suggest a change of plan. Add a short section on boundaries and scope: how to define what I will and will not take on, and a template for a one-page engagement outline that I can adapt, to be reviewed by a professional before use [VERIFY]. Add a section on testing the idea and managing the transition. Provide a three-month pilot plan: pick one offer, speak to ten potential clients, complete one paid or pro bono pilot with written feedback, and decide with explicit criteria whether to continue. Add a template for a one-page offer description, a pricing worksheet where I enter hours, desired income and costs (without tax advice), and a plan for a gradual reduction of existing commitments. Include a wellbeing check: how I will structure my days, maintain contact with colleagues, and keep learning. Remind me to discuss pension, tax and insurance implications with qualified professionals [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION], and not to rely on assumptions about my circumstances.
