Build a Consulting Business Around Your Expertise with Angela Frank
<p>According to Upwork, 76.4 million Americans are part of the freelance workforce, which grew from 57 million in 2019. And by 2027? This number is expected to rise to over 50% of the U.S. workforce.</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelafrank/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Angela Frank</strong></a> is a fractional CMO, growth marketing advisor, and founder of <a href="https://growthdirective.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Growth Directive</strong></a>, a marketing consultancy that helps founders build clear, sustainable marketing strategies that support long-term growth. With a track record of generating over $60 million in revenue for startups and scaling brands, Angela brings a rare combination of in-house operator experience and scrappy entrepreneurial instinct to companies she works with.</p><p>Angela's path to consulting was anything but linear. She grew up in a small town in northern Minnesota and the first in her family to pursue a four-year college degree.</p><p>She started her first Etsy shop as a sophomore in college, ran a thriving e-commerce business during the pandemic, then pivoted into corporate marketing roles before eventually negotiating her way into a fractional arrangement with her employer.</p><p>As you will learn, she proposed they use the money saved to invest in another marketing channel. And for her, she used that freed up time to build her consulting practice. She officially went full-time in her business in 2022.</p><p>Angela is the award-winning author of <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Your-Marketing-Ecosystem-Brands-Market/dp/B0D9HZ3ZN2" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Your Marketing Ecosystem: How Brands Can Market Less and Sell More</strong></a>, which teaches founders and consultants how to build connected marketing systems that drive results without complexity.

What It Actually Takes to Go From Solo Freelancer to Trusted CEO with Marie Lewis
<p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/royalassistants" target="_blank"><strong>Marie Lewis</strong></a> is the founder and <a href="https://royalassistants.com/" target="_blank"><strong>CEO of Royal Assistants</strong></a>, an operations-focused executive support company built to help founders lead with clarity and structure. Her journey into business began with service. She was raised in a faith-centered household, she spent years in administrative leadership across church and corporate environments before becoming the person people relied on to bring order to organizations and systems.</p><p>Marie started working independently in 2015, taking her first paid role setting up systems for her church, and has spent the decade since building Royal Assistants from a solo virtual assistance practice into a full operations and systems design company with a team behind her. She has hired and released more than 100 people from her business over the years as she refined who she works with and how she delivers what she calls "the royal experience" — a client journey built on intentionality, transparency, and excellence.</p><p>Born in Jamaica, Marie's family relocated to New York, where she watched her parents build their own businesses, her father moving from carpentry into full-time ministry and then construction, and her mother building a career as a seamstress before becoming an executive house cleaner. Marie now lives in Atlanta with her husband and their daughter, where she runs Royal Assistants and shares tutorials and systems, including her SuiteDash system, with her audience on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheRoyalAssistant" target="_blank"><strong>YouTube</strong></a>. </p><p>She describes her guiding philosophy as one of radical transparency: she does not believe in gatekeeping knowledge, and treats every client relationship as an opportunity to build trust through consistency and care.</p><p><strong>Connect with Marie</strong></p><ul><li><p>Website: <a href="https://royalassistants.com/"><u>Royal Executive Assistants</u></a></p></li><li><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/royal-executive-assistants-llc/"><u>Royal Executive Assistants LLC</u></a></p></li><li><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheRoyalAssistant"><u>@TheRoyalA</u></a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/royal-executive-assistants-llc/"><u>ssis</u></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheRoyalAssistant"><u>tant</u></a></p></li><li><p>Instagram:<u> </u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/royalassistants"><u>@royalassistants</u></a></p></li></ul><p><strong>Connect with Naomi</strong></p><ul><li><li>Website: <a href="http://www.naomihaile.com/">www.naomihaile.com</a></li></li><li><li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomihail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Naomi Haile</a></li></li><li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/naomiahaile/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@naomiahaile</a></li><li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@naomiahaile" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@naomiahaile</a></li></li></ul>
