I'm looking for any consultants in the Seattle area. We're thinking of moving there in the near future, and I'm contemplating what it will be like to move my business from one coast to another. I'm curious to know what the response to PC is out there and how it will be starting from scratch in a brand new area.

I must say I'm looking forward to leaving my current area, in some ways. I'm tired of people promising one thing and never following through. I'm wondering if that changes with what part of the country you live in. Or am I just being unfair? Does anyone else struggle with this? It seems some people have to work so hard to get an average $400 show (me!), while others are consistently doing $1000 shows.

So, anyone out there in Seattle, I'd love to get in touch with you!
 
I'm open to hearing any advice or suggestions, whether it's general information or specific questions. I'm sure there's a lot to learn, and I'm excited to start this journey.
 
Hello! I'm not personally from the Seattle area, but I have friends who have moved there for work and they absolutely love it. I can only imagine how exciting it must be to start fresh in a new city and see what kind of opportunities await you.As for your concerns about the response to PC in Seattle, I think it's always a bit of a risk to move your business to a new area. However, from what I've heard, Seattle is a vibrant and thriving city with a strong economy, so I have no doubt that there will be plenty of potential clients for you to connect with.And regarding your struggle with getting bookings, I think that can happen in any part of the country. It really depends on your target market and how well you're able to market yourself. But I don't think it's fair to compare yourself to others and their success. Everyone's journey is different and it's important to focus on your own growth and progress.I hope you're able to connect with some consultants in Seattle and get some insight into the market there. Best of luck with your move and your business!
