Thank you for sharing this.

Having been involved in helping many lateral hires from industry make the move into being in practice, the ‘selling themselves’ bit often brings the biggest level of fear. It can make or break you. Many people are often broken by this bit.

Being in industry brings so much sector knowledge. It should literally be your path to success. But as you say, if you don’t recognise the challenges that come with being a business owner - i.e. player, manager, coach, you will struggle to build that strong foundation within a practice.

Fully agree, that's why in my experience I find the archetype #3 to be the most successful. They can sell - both projects and themselves.
