Considering a move from PM to growth advisory after hitting wall after wall. The community’s peer-vetted frameworks promise smoother transitions – but for those who actually used them: what tools helped map PM skills to advisory contexts without the 80-hour weeks? Did any frameworks particularly help set client expectations or avoid scope creep?
frameworks are bandaids. reality? advisory = sales. used the ‘stakeholder alignment canvas’ – clients still demanded free overtime. saved by charging hourly and firing bad clients, which none of the frameworks mention (shocker)
tried the value prop worksheet but clients keep asking for extra ‘quick fixes’
how do u say no without losing them?? halp!
