• THE SIX-FIGURE PLAYBOOK CHALLENGE · June 22 to 26

You Are Not the Problem. Your Business Model Is.

Most independent consultants think they need to network more, write more creative proposals or invent more “stuff” to grow. Because that is what the big firms do.

The truth? You could be making significantly more income, with fewer clients, by focusing on a single, highly differentiated Signature Playbook.

In 5 days, build one irresistible, premium engagement and a simple way to sell it, so you can stop competing on price and start commanding five- and six-figure fees without adding more hours to your week.

In Just 5 Days, Here’s Exactly What You Will Build:

  • Day 1: The Foundation (Expertise First)
    We flip the popular narrative. You will learn why thinking about the "client first" is actually a trap, and how to build your foundation based on your raw, undeniable expertise.

  • Day 2: Create Your Differentiated Solution
    Learn how to define your contrarian view and identify the exact problem you solve better than anyone else. Using my
    SOLUTION TO PROBLEM™ Framework you will turn your heroic, one-off efforts into a repeatable system.

  • Day 3: The Method & Sequence
    Discover the power of absolute conviction. We will lock in your predictable, clearly articulated approach so you never have to make it up as you go again. By the end you’ll have a complete solution that you know delivers results for your clients and that you can put in front of any prospect, with confidence.

  • Day 4: What’s Behind Higher Fees
    Stop selling deliverables and time-based pricing. Learn how to anchor your fees to the massive cost of the client's problem, allowing you to confidently price your engagement at what you’re worth and the results you create.

  • Day 5: Launch Your Playbook
    Let’s get your work into the world.  When you have a killer solution, it’s actually a disservice to keep it a secret. You’ll see how to start building momentum and traction to accelerate your business with your new, un-commoditized playbook.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

Your premium Signature Playbook you feel proud (and confident) to sell

Premier Positioning so you stop competing on price as a generalist

A scalable business model that eliminates the acquisition-delivery paradox

Confidence to command higher-fee engagements without customizing proposals re-inventing the wheel

Here’s How It Works:

WHEN: Live for 5 days — Starts Monday, June 22 to June 26, 2026. 1-2 hours per day. (12pm-1pm ET for The Foundations Track, and 11am-1pm ET for The Mastery Track).

WHERE: Online, from anywhere in the world.

WHO IT’S FOR: Mid-career consultants, corporate refugees, and solo advisors who have deep expertise and want to build a lucrative and enjoyable advisory business.

Enjoy a private 1-hour workshop before all 5 days of the Challenge with your host, Russell Raath,. by joining The Mastery Track!

This is your chance to get direct access to Russell, to pick his brain about the business he has built,  and ask any question you have about creating high-ticket playbooks and escaping the consulting commodity trap. Plus, you’ll get access to each day’s recordings for the duration of the challenge, so you can revisit each session and keep applying the insights to your business.

There’s a limited number of Mastery Track spots: I restrict The Mastery Track spots because I want to give you as much direct, roll-up-your-sleeves attention as possible in our Q&A sessions.

If you’re thinking about it, do it!

BONUS:
The $75,000 Signature Engagement Letter Template 

As my gift to you for securing your ticket to the Challenge, I want to give you access to the exact, redacted engagement agreement I use to close $75,000 advisory contracts.

When you stop selling your time and start selling a premium Signature Playbook, your paperwork must change. This template shows you exactly how to frame your value, structure your payment terms, and establish your unshakeable authority in writing from the moment your client signs on the dotted line.

Meet Your Guide - Russell Raath

Hi, I'm Russell Raath. It’s fair to say consulting is in my DNA.  Over a decade with Deloitte Consulting in New York, President of Kotter International in Harvard Square, MA, working across six continents with leaders inside some of the most complex organizations in the world.

When I went out on my own, I thought building my own business would be a breeze.  Instead, I experienced the exact traps so many aspiring solo consultants face:  custom-building every engagement, feast-and-famine cycles, competing for work. More than a few sleepless nights and wondering whether this whole solo consulting thing was just a bad idea.

I realized the solution wasn't working harder - it was building a playbook that would dependably grow my business. Today I sell repeatable premium engagements - $75,000 for a single engagement that I run over a few days.

Now, because I’ve been there and figured a few things out, I’m pulling back the curtain on the exact blueprint I used so you can build your own solo practice, step out of the commodity trap, and scale your business and your revenue with absolute conviction.
