ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
This practical, grounding session is **created and delivered by Nancy Fulton, founder of RationalCo.com**. She's helped thousands of people master the skills they need to do what they love for a living. Learn how to start your first real business based on your hard-earned skills and experience.
If you’ve been fired, laid off, burned out, or are quietly planning your exit from a high-paying job — this session will help you think clearly, regain confidence, and move forward with purpose.

### What This Session Is About

You have a lot of skills that have earned well for other people. Now you need to learn how to make them pay off for yourself. In this session we dive into:

  • Turning existing, proven skills into reliable income
  • Understanding exactly how your work has already created financial value
  • Designing a simple business model that people can say “yes” to quickly
  • Reaching decision-makers without pressure or awkward selling
  • Getting paid professionally and predictably
  • Moving forward calmly — without panic or paralysis

Many successful business owners trace their success back to a moment like this. Not because they planned it — but because they learned how to respond to it well.

### Who Should Attend

This event is designed for:

  • Highly paid, highly skilled employees
  • Professionals who’ve been fired or laid off
  • People who want to leave their current job but feel stuck
  • Senior contributors, specialists, and experts across industries
  • Anyone who knows they have valuable skills — but hasn’t packaged them yet

If you’ve ever thought “I know how to do valuable work, I just don’t know how to turn it into a business” — this session is for you.

### What You’ll Learn

You’ll walk away with clarity on:

  • Why this moment is not a failure, but a structural shift
  • How skilled people have always made independent income
  • How to identify the specific ways your work generated or protected money
  • What promises your business should make to customers based it will provide.
  • How to identify real buyers and decision-makers
  • Simple business models that work without complexity
  • How to talk about what you do — and what it costs — like a professional
  • How to ask for money comfortably and guarantee you will get paid
  • The basic legal and financial steps that reduce stress and risk

Most importantly, you’ll see that you are not starting from zero — and that progress builds confidence very quickly.

### Format

  • ~60 minutes of guided instruction
  • ~15 minutes of live Q&A
  • Calm, pragmatic, and grounded — no high priced upsales and no fluff
