Writing annual goals. What are examples of how to write “quantifiable” goals as a consultant? Are you measuring number of relationships built, projects, or something else?

Most of consulting is advising on solutions to problems, but I don’t control the outcome, whether the advice is implemented, or the budget. Sales is easy (e.g. “sell $2M of products/services this year”) because there is a clearly defined measurement. What can consultants measure?

Hello! Does anyone have insight into drop shipping? My mom has had a successful gift basket business for 35 years and is ready to retire, however we’d love to continue using her established website for drop shipping. She has one drop ship item currently but I’d love to expand here and keep the business alive! Any advice, resources or mentorship is appreciated!!

I’m a contracted exec assistant for a startup. I know that I will likely need a full time role within the next 4-6 months. I have 2 questions:

1) Is it worth approaching the biz I’m currently contracted with first? How soon do startups invest in internal roles (exec assistant, internal ops)?

2) What kind of salary should I expect for a full time exec assistant or ops role? 13 yrs experience.

So I could use some advice for my startup. We currently are putting finishing touches on our MVP. We don’t really have any users, but we’re not sure if we should first try to secure funding (without users) or build up the user base first then go for funding. How much value do VC’s place on users before funding and how many users would they like to see for preseed funding. Any feedback is appreciated.
