For the self-guided course, questions of common interest will be addressed through The Career Lattice Facebook page. Questions about individual circumstances, unique decisions and critiques of individual portfolios, resumes, marketing material, and such, will not be addressed via phone, email, social media, telegram, in person or through other means.
If you would like a critique of your portfolio, business plan, or would like coaching to gain individualized insight on how you can apply any aspect of The Career Lattice Staff to Self-employment self-guided course, please sign up for the Critique or Coach option. With this option, you receive: a pre-session email exchange to narrow down the focus of the coaching session; a 45 minute phone or Zoom coaching session with comments and critique specifically addressing your situation; and a summary follow-up email to help you continue on your path to sustainable self-employment. Outside this dedicated session, no additional situation-specific questions will be answered, via email, phone or social media.
If you become part of the Staff to Self-employment master community, you will gain access to a private Facebook group of people who have completed the same course, and thus speak the same language regarding self-employment and business growth. You will receive the same 45-minute critique as described above in the Critique or Coach option, as well as enriched tools, templates, scripts and other material that will accelerate your journey from employee to entrepreneur. The master community is designed to foster internal networking so that group members can bring work to eachother and form virtual project teams to win higher-level work as a team. The master community will also hear from special presenters and guest speakers in Q&A sessions to answer questions pertinent to business growth, work-life balance, achieving integrated self-employment and household financial goals, and similar topics. Group members are encouraged to ask and answer questions amongst themselves and will be guided by frequent contributions from the course author.

If we enter into a contractual agreement, we will most certainly honor our commitments. Otherwise, no.
We are happy to open discussions with industry associations and business groups to arrange group discounts for a minimum of 10 participants, which includes one custom presentation geared for a common group interest, such as stage of life, industry, or commonly held challenge to transitioning to self-employment.
We aspire to a level of profitability that will support scholarships offered through the professional associations that we already partner with, as well as through additional partnerships. Those associations include the American Society of Journalists & Authors; the Society for American Travel Writers; and the Accounting & Financial Women’s Alliance.
At the moment, you must rely on your personal or business credit resources to pay over time.
For as long as the course exists. And, you’ll be able to access additions to the materials and updated versions, too.
We guarantee that the material in all Career Lattice courses is original and not to be found anywhere else. Like all self-help courses and material, success depends on your own effort, situation, resources, motivation and skill set. We cannot guarantee a specific individualized result because each person represents a unique set of experience, motivation, learning style and opportunities.
Certainly. The forum for doing so is the Critique & Coach level of Staff to Self-employment. Sign up here.
No, but we are happy to send you chapters from The Career Lattice (McGraw Professional, 2012).
If your group is comprised of at least 25 confirmed participants, let’s talk.
Once you progress to Module Four, there are no returns. The material in The Career Lattice: Staff to Self-employment is a unique asset representing experience gained over four decades of work. Returns late in the process invite abuse of the material and violate the fiduciary responsibility that we have to ourselves to protect what we have developed.
Both we and karma will come after you. Whoever gets to you first, wins, and either way, you lose.
