📚 What You’ll Learn
- What a fractional role actually is (a senior embedded leader working part-time for multiple companies, not just consulting or freelance work)
- Why the fractional job market is harder than people think and can take 3-9+ months to land your first role, requiring network building while still employed
- How to balance being the founder of a free community with the reality of needing to pay yourself and avoid resentment
✍️ Some Takeaways
- A fractional role is a senior embedded leader position, not synonymous with part-time consulting or freelancing.
- Landing your first fractional role is harder than it looks and requires strategic network building while you’re still employed.
- Going fractional means becoming your own boss with all the administrative responsibilities nobody talks about.
- Community monetisation requires balancing giving value with sustainability, especially when resentment starts creeping in.
