As soon as you admit you’re considering the private sector…

The doom and gloom prophecies come out:

• “You’ll have to start all over again!”
  
• “You’ll need to go back to college!”
• “They hate hiring from our sector!”
  

The words are different, but the message is always the same:

“You’re stuck. Deal with it!”

If you’re burned out on nonprofit life, the last thing you need is for someone to tell you there’s no alternative.

Which is ridiculous!

The numbers speak for themselves:

• In 2022, the U.S. nonprofit sector accounted for about 12.8 million jobs.
  
• At the same time, the U.S. for-profit sector held about 128 million jobs.

That’s right: Nonprofits accounted for just under 10% of private employment.

If you got hired in nonprofit, you’ve already beaten 10-to-1 odds!

If you want to change the world, nonprofits can’t be beat.

But when it comes to compensation…

Well. It’s one of those things you’re just supposed to “sacrifice,” right?

Of course, that’s not the whole story.

Sometimes, your priorities change. You have a new baby, or an aging parent who needs care. You dream of opening a business. Or you notice your retirement savings just aren’t shaping up.

If it’s time for a change, switching to the private sector can boost your take-home pay 3X.

Once you’re established, switching companies can net you a 10%+ raise every few years.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it: Getting that first for-profit job takes effort.

The horror stories you’ve heard aren’t universal, but they’re based in fact.

Lots of people try to switch to for-profit every year… and do it WRONG.

Of course they tell you not to bother. They’re only trying to help.

Scratch the surface and they’ve made one of these mistakes:

• They didn’t put their accomplishments in terms businesses understand.
  
• They didn’t explain the switch (and looked like they were running away).
• They didn’t adjust their applications to account for AI-based screening.

Here’s the problem: Unless you’ve been behind the scenes in corporate hiring, you don’t know the techniques that are getting real job-seekers to the head of the line in 2025.

Neither does your aunt, your brother, or your well-meaning co-worker.

If you’ve ever needed a career coach, now is the time.

I don’t believe in “starting over.”

My goal is help you launch your new career with an equal or better position

By the time you’re burned out and ready to go, you might not even know what hit you.

But we’ve all heard: “Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

You’ve seen it play out. Don’t let it happen to your career.

The post-mortem helps you define what stopped you from reaching your full potential.

Maybe it was mismanagement, lack of resources, or poor organizational culture.

It’s crucial to know, because for-profit companies can have all of these problems.

By the end, you’ll have:

• A clear understanding of why you’re making the change and what your career goal is.
  
• Your list of “must-haves,” “like-to-haves,” and “deal breakers” in the for-profit world.
• Techniques to recognize for-profit red flags and keep history from repeating itself.

The #1 problem with for-profit transition isn’t that your skills aren’t valuable.

It’s that businesses can’t translate what you do into what they recognize.

The average resume gets 30 seconds of attention (if it passes AI screening.)

The sad truth is this:

• If they have to think about what your resume means, you lose.
  
• If you don’t use all of the key terms they want to see, you lose.
• If they don’t “get” you, YOU lose (even if you’re the perfect fit.
  

There’s nothing more frustrating than being misunderstood.

Especially when the stakes are high.

I can help. Using your job history, we’ll zero in on the best for-profit career for you.

Once we’ve discussed your past roles and accomplishments, I’ll work my magic to provide an all-new resume that spotlights your value in a way for-profit decision-makers understand.

(It took years to learn, but it comes down to two ideas—I’ll teach you all about them.

By the end, you’ll have:

• A new, fully updated resume supercharged with insights to make career change easy.
  
• Confidence from an authentic understanding of how you fit into the for-profit world.
• Tactics to launch your job search—including using your nonprofit network effectively.
  

Once you’ve got an interview lined up, there’s one more hurdle:

The presumption of failure.

See, you can go anywhere on the internet and get lists of “interview questions you must know.”

But those lists are useless.

Nobody knows what questions you’ll get asked—except in very specific circumstances.

Switching from nonprofit to for-profit is one of them.

When employers see you left nonprofit, many will wonder:

“What’s wrong with this person?”

It’s not far—but it’s true. And they’ll ask you about it, too.

I’ll show you how to position your switch triumphantly.

That way, instead of thinking “I wonder what’s wrong?”

They’ll think: “Wow, this person’s talents are wasted in nonprofit.”

And hey… when you see your compensation offer, you might even agree.
