Is Independence Right For You?
A structured reflection framework for experienced professionals who are already asking the question.
You are not at the beginning of this thought.
You have been watching people leave. Reading articles about consulting and interim work. Running numbers quietly. Thinking about what you would actually offer if you left.
You have not taken a concrete step yet — not because you lack the courage, but because you lack the clarity.
Clarity on whether your experience translates into something people will pay for.
Clarity on who your clients would actually be.
Clarity on what you are not seeing about your own situation.
This framework will not make the decision for you. It will give you the honest picture you need to make it yourself.
What it is:
Is Independence Right For You is a 30-minute guided reflection framework built for professionals with significant experience who are privately considering independence.
It is not a personality quiz. It is not a motivational exercise. It is a structured set of questions that surfaces what you already know — about your strengths, your market, your offer, and your blind spots — and organises it into a clear picture.
You will finish it knowing more about your actual readiness than six months of private research has told you.
What it covers:
Five areas. Thirty minutes. No fluff.
Your transferable value
What you are actually selling when you leave the organisation behind — and whether it is specific enough for someone to pay for it independently of your employer's brand.Your market reality
Who your clients would be, what problem you solve for them, and whether that market exists outside the context you currently operate in.Your competitive position
What makes you the specific choice over every other experienced professional offering something similar — and whether you can articulate it in one sentence.Your financial architecture
Whether your numbers support the transition you are considering — not in theory, but in practice.Your blind spots
The questions most people avoid because the answers are uncomfortable. These are the ones that determine whether independence works or stalls within twelve months.
Now What?
What happens after:
You complete the framework. You have a clearer picture of where you stand.
If that picture raises more questions than it answers — particularly around your offer, your positioning, or what you are not seeing — the next step is a Blind Spot Session.

Hi, I am Ines Kaps,
The Queen of Projects
For 25 years, I’ve delivered impossible global transformations worth $25M+. For over 10 years, I’ve built and run a profitable consulting firm - both with ups and downs!
Now, I help professionals like you transform your project expertise into independence.
Because you’re not just a project manager —
You’re already an entrepreneur.
You just don’t have equity yet.
But I wasn't always the "Queen of Projects"...
I started like you - getting assigned the projects nobody wanted. Customers shouted at me. Managers mobbed me until I quit. I cried from exhaustion.
The turning point came when I realized that every project crisis was actually a business opportunity in disguise.
Once I learned to see disasters differently, everything changed - I became a crisis expert.
