The ADVISE Pathway Guide
Turn Your Expertise into Equity, Income, and Influence — Without Becoming an Operator
Why Keep Trading Time for Money?
You’ve built a career, sharpened your instincts, and earned a reputation in your field. Yet too often, high achievers watch their expertise create wealth for their employers — while they’re stuck in the grind.
The ADVISE Pathway flips the script. Instead of running businesses, you guide them. You get paid in:
-
📈 Equity — ownership that compounds over time
-
💼 High-value retainers — cash flow without overwork
-
🌍 Influence — helping shape companies while freeing your time
This guide shows you how.
Inside the guide, you’ll discover:
✅ High-leverage advisory roles — fractional exec seats, board roles, venture scout positions, and expert networks
✅ Equity-first deal structures — how to negotiate retainers + ownership instead of cash-only consulting
✅ Portfolio playbook — why holding 5–7 advisory roles beats chasing 15 scattered gigs
✅ Pitfalls to avoid — the mistakes that dilute your credibility, waste time, and limit upside
✅ Step-by-step action plan — how to position yourself, build visibility, connect with founders, and land your first advisory role
Who The ADVISE Pathway Is For
- You’re often sought out for your advice and connections
- You’d rather influence strategy than run daily operations
- You want ownership stakes, not just invoices
- You see yourself mentoring, guiding, and shaping outcomes
If that sounds like you, this is your pathway to ownership without the operator grind.
