You’ve spent hours upon hours racking your brain for business ideas.
When you finally struck gold, you test the waters.
Results? Zero clients.
Imposter syndrome and self-doubt are killing you.
You’re unsure of what step to take next.
And somewhere deep down, you hear this nagging voice: ”Am I doomed to be stuck on the hamster wheel forever?”
Sounds familiar?
Here's the truth: you’ve been lied to by “experts” who've never walked the walk.
There is a better way…
Part-Time Consulting Launchpad is an 8-week cohort program for busy professionals who want to launch a thriving consulting service on the side.
Wherever you are in the journey—I'll show you EXACTLY what’s working today.
And I'll give you no-BS examples, real case studies, and actionable frameworks to get started NOW.
You’ll build your roadmap, offers, growth engine, and sales process so that you can win and serve clients successfully.
The best part? You won’t have to do it alone.
You’ll apply everything you learn with help from us and other talented professionals in our cohort community.
Perfection and imposter syndrome hold most side hustlers back. But not you anymore.
In the Launchpad, we'll push you to take consistent action towards testing and iterating your side hustle. You'll build real confidence along the way.
We get it. You're busy and don't have time for courses offering "50+ hours of content."
Not us. Each week, you'll get 2-3 bite-sized lessons, exercises, AI prompts + tools, and real feedback. We focus on results, not consumption.
Feeling like you're on an island solo sucks. With our cohort, you won't be alone. You'll join a group of like-minded peers.
Learn together. Exchange feedback. Hold each other accountable. And celebrate each other's wins.
There are countless courses on theory. In contrast, we'll show you exactly what's worked for us and others.
No-fluff, just actual examples and case studies. Level up the crucial skills you need to get your first clients.
Got burning questions? Our live group coaching sessions are designed to provide you clarity, so you can get back on track.
Plus: Demo day to pitch your offers at the conclusion of the program.
You'll get access to our AI copilot and a treasure trove of fresh resources like Tech Offers Library, Portfolio Career Database, AI Consulting Proposal Builder, and AI Prompt Library.
Think of these as your turbo chargers.
Part-Time Consulting Launchpad was created by Dexter Zhuang.
I know first-hand about side consulting to diversify income and gain flexibility.
I’ve earned 6-figures income from consulting side hustles that take up to 10 hours/week.
Examples:

Course Instructor (example) - $8,000+ in 2 months
