The Six-Figure Public Health Consultant Quiz
"You're a Consultant CEO — it's time to scale sustainably."
You've already proven yourself. Contracts on the books, relationships built, real impact delivered. The next stretch isn't more hustle — it's smarter scale. Earning more without burning out. Hiring help. Bidding on million-dollar primes. Stepping into the CEO role you've already been doing without the title.
You're past every "can I do this?" question. You've already built something real — multiple contracts, established relationships, a business that pays you. The work now is different. It's about scale, not start. Systems, not hustle. Stepping into the CEO seat instead of being the operator, salesperson, and delivery team all at once.
Consultant CEOs are the public health pros who have already built a real consulting business — and now feel the ceiling of doing it solo. The next stretch is sustainable scale: bigger contracts, bigger teams, and the CEO posture that wins six- and seven-figure work. Below is what's working in your favor, what's keeping you stuck in the operator seat, and what unlocks the next level.
You don't need another tactics workshop. You need to start operating like the leader of the business you've already built. These four exercises move you from operator to CEO — and they pair directly with the videos and CEO Circle below.
Make three columns: Only I can do this · I should be doing this for now · Someone else can do this. Dump every recurring task in your business into the right column.
Your current ceiling is set by who you're selling to. Write a one-paragraph profile of the bigger client you want next — budget tier, decision-maker title, the kind of RFP they put out.
List the five people you'd subcontract to tomorrow if a six-figure contract landed. Reach out to two of them this week with a heads-up: "I'm building capacity — are you open to project work next quarter?"
Put three hours on your calendar every week labeled "CEO time." That's when you do pipeline, partnerships, hiring, and strategy — not delivery, not Slack. Same time, every week, non-negotiable.
You're past the workshops. The next level isn't taught — it's built in a room with other Consultant CEOs scaling alongside you, and with access to the contracts only insiders see. Two doors, one membership.
I know what this stage looks like, because I've lived it. You've crossed every milestone you set for yourself: the first contract, the consistent pipeline, the income that finally feels real. And then you hit a different kind of wall — the one where doing more of what got you here is exactly what's burning you out.
The shift you need now isn't tactics. It's becoming the CEO of the practice you've already built. Watch the two videos above, then come into the rooms below: the CEO Circle for the strategy, the Club for the RFP list that lets you fill the calendar on your terms.
The single biggest thing Consultant CEOs miss when they stay outside the Club: the weekly RFP list. Vetted public health contract opportunities, refreshed every week, that won't show up on a job board. Plus a community of 900+ public health consultants already bidding alongside you — the same room the CEO Circle is built on top of.
