Why 2025 Is the BEST Time to Escape the 9–5 and Start a Consultancy EP. 073
April 23, 2025 · 27 min

Feeling that quiet‑quitting itch yet still unsure when or how to make your move? In this episode, I break down why 2025 is the most strategic window to ditch the 9‑to‑5, weaponise your hard‑won skills, and launch a consultancy that lets you own your time, energy, and income.

I unpack the market forces tipping the scales: AI disruption, SME‑friendly procurement rules, and a sharp spike in public‑sector consultancy spend, and translate them into clear, actionable steps.
