A quick way to tell whether your practice has a pipeline... or just a head start. Coaches and consultants often tell me their first clients came through word of mouth. When you were employed, the work found you and the company's brand vouched for you. Then you went out on your own, and the people who already trusted you showed up first. Your first clients were years of goodwill converting at once... and that stock doesn't refill itself. So try this. List every client you've had and how they found you. If nearly all of them trace back to people who knew you before, you're spending down a head start, and that's usually when feast-or-famine begins. What looks like a pipeline problem might really be positioning. Two things refill it: a clear way of saying what you do that other people can repeat, and a body of work people outside the old circle can actually see. My booking page is in the first comment... 30 minutes, and we'll look at which of the two is missing for you.
