When I joined the Beta program for Freeway to Fractional, I knew I wanted out of Corporate America. Working 7-6 every day throughout my career wasn't something I looked forward to for the remainder of my career and I knew I wanted a different path in my next role.
The course provided me with answers to questions I didn't even know to ask. The experiences Mark and Breandan shared helped me learn lessons and avoid costly mistakes. They provided a roadmap to follow that resulted in identifying my services (which aligned with my passion) engaging with my network of warm relationships and landing my first client within 30 days of launching my business.
I highly recommend the Freeway to Fractional for anyone embarking on a career as a fractional executive. You will find the info you need and a community to guide and support your success.
Hope to see you in the program!

I joined the Freeway to Fractional after I had been serving as a fractional CFO for about 2 years. I felt like the course offered information to succeed in my new role that was a missing piece. The work I had been doing was originated by others and I wanted to be able to find my opportunities and knew it would be bereft dal in the long run. When I first heard about the course, it was in Beta and information was limited but knowing Mark and Breandan have extensive experience in helping people launch highly successful consulting businesses, I was all in and the first to sign up.
The course offered an immediate opportunity to cut to the core of what I wanted to do vs what I could do. It realigned my talents to where I was most marketable, crystallizing my awareness and streamlining my approach to finding my perfect prospect. They also provided the communication strategy to leverage my warm network and communicate why my prospects NEEDED me in their business. Within 30 days of completing the course, I had the opportunity to land a significant client using the approach outlined in the program. This course offers a comprehensive path to launch, sustain and grow your consulting business and I highly recommend it no matter where you may be on your career journey, either newly established or wanting to scale and grow.

Hear from a successful Fractional Business Professional about what this course offers to new Entrepreneurs.
ROCK Creative Network was launched over nine (9) years ago to help agencies with new business. Most couldn't hire a full-time professional business development as the investment for his/her salary was too high...thus I have been offering myself as a Fractional Business Development pro to agencies throughout the United States.
Honestly, it hasn't been an easy ride as it hadn't been done before so I have been learning as I go. I wish that the Freedom to Fractional program was started with the launch of ROCK Creative Network so I would have made fewer mistakes, probably not left a lot of money on the table, and would have done a much better job of promoting my services instead of just doing them.
In the challenging business world we live in, many of you have great experience to offer in your field, trust me people need your help more than you can ever know.
Freedom to Fractional provides you the confidence to understand your WHY and confidence to take your talent to help others with your knowledge. This is a system that will teach you the structure and system that the authors have spent years figuring out.
Lingering questions that may be holding you back...
- Does your skill set offer value to potential clients?
- I'm feeling overwhelmed with the path you've laid out and the work I'll have to do to ramp up and replace my income.
- How do I know this is the right career option for me?
- What happens if I get an offer and want to go back to Corporate?
- Will I have access to help when I need it?
- When I join, will I get immediate access to all course content?
- How supportive is the community?
- What if I've never sold anything and the thought of selling really intimidates me?
Still unsure if this is the right direction for you?
Tuition is expensive at the University of Hard Knocks. Mark and Breandan have paid their share. There were so many questions we didn't know when launching our businesses and many lessons learned on a better way to launch a business. Those lessons have been translated through mentoring others and developing our own coaching and consulting businesses. These lessons have proven successful time and again.
Floundering around is no fun and the months many will struggle to launch a fractional service business can be bypassed with insight and guidance. That's why we developed this course. We want to show you that you have options and there are wonderful possibilities that exist for you.
The past year and a half have represented instability and chaos in corporate America and many people are having to make hard choices between their family, life balance, and career satisfaction. We don't feel it's fair for you to have to make that choice. We want you to know you have options and they are great ones!
This course will show you how you can fall in love again with your career, you can earn a great living, provide value and create your OWN dream job. We are convinced that fractional services are a viable option not the last resort!
