Being a freelancer is a mixed bag of pros and cons:
• You’re your own boss, but you are solely responsible when the economy shifts or
business dries up
• The work is varied and exciting, but that variety can become unpredictability, requiring constant adaptability and hustle
• You love what you do, but the passion can blur personal boundaries, and you can burn yourself out if you don’t protect your time and energy
• You can set your own schedule, but isolation can creep in, especially if you work remotely

What’s a freelancer to do? In short, freelancing does best when you run it like a business, not as a series of projects. Practically this means intentionally designing guardrails around the
flexibility you enjoy, and asking for help when you need it.

That’s where Ashish comes in. As a freelancer himself, he knows the emotional ups and downs, the feast or famine cycle of business, and what it takes to have a sustainable solo practice. Freelancing isn’t for everyone, but when it’s done right, it can be an incredibly satisfying career
choice.

Unlike other business coaches, Ashish integrates business & life into one holistic view. He has two core offerings:
• Business Consulting: Focused primarily on your business, this includes streamlining
operations, stabilizing and increasing income, and growing your business with clarity
• Life Engineering: Focused on you as a whole person, this includes actively designing a life you want by aligning your work and life with your values and identity
With both offerings, you will get the tools you need to clarify challenges, amplify strengths, set and achieve pragmatic goals, and follow a data-driven path toward building not just a sustainable business, but a fulfilling life.

Guilds with Benefits members get a complimentary intro session, and discounts on ongoing
services.

Ashish is the owner and CEO of Vatsal Consulting Group, LLC. He helps professionals like freelancers go from successful to fulfilled. His background includes financial management, business consulting, and startup operations. He holds a Bachelor of Science from Yale University, and an MBA from University of Michigan. He was named a Rising Star of the Profession: Top 35 under 35 by Consulting Magazine and -- more importantly -- has been voted “Best Dad” at home for 6 years running.
