Your entire life, they told you what success looks like.
Get the good job. Climb the ladder. Build the career. Earn the salary everyone respects.
Maybe you got there. Maybe you're still climbing. Either way, you know something's missing.
Because if you're honest, "success" actually feels like:
Being disconnected from work that used to excite you.
Feeling undervalued despite your years of expertise.
Making money but not making the difference you know you could.
And now, you're just ready for more.
You've outgrown the box they put you in. And deep down, you know your expertise could create more impact if it wasn't limited to one company's agenda.
How Smart Professionals Are Building Multiple Revenue Streams From Their Expertise
(While Making Corporate Employment Optional)
What if I told you there's a training that shows you how to transform your expertise into a work-style that works on YOUR terms?
Not starting over. Not hustling for clients. Not becoming everything you hate about consultants.
Just taking everything you already know and learning the Portfolio Executive method: how to serve a portfolio of clients as a part-time executive, work when it matters most, and command premium rates for your wisdom.
This September, I'm running a 3-day intensive that teaches you exactly how.
No theory. No fluff. Just the exact blueprint to position yourself as a Portfolio Executive. You'll discover how to package your expertise so clients seek you out, price your wisdom at what it's actually worth, and generate sustainable revenue streams from knowledge you already have.
By Day 3, you'll have your Portfolio Executive plan. Within 90 days, you could be implementing it.
This is your chance to stop living someone else's definition of success and start building your own.
When you show up LIVE you will learn how to:
🎯 Replace your salary working half the time Most Portfolio Executives match their corporate income within 6 months while working 12-15 days per month.
💰 Command £3,000-£5,000 per month for strategic thinking Stop billing hours. Start pricing wisdom. Learn the psychology behind premium positioning.
🔄 Turn your network into your net worth That LinkedIn connection list becomes your client pipeline with the right positioning.
⚡ Learn how to land your FIRST portfolio role Follow the exact roadmap Charles used and has taught to senior executives across professions and sectors
🎭 Shift from "looking for work" to "selecting clients" Change your positioning so opportunities come to you instead of you chasing them.
📈 Build recession-proof income streams Multiple clients means multiple safety nets. One ends, others continue.
I'm Charles McLachlan and I Teach People How to Work On Their Own Terms
My journey has taken me through technology startups, visiting professorship at University College London, international consulting, and corporate leadership. I've been a partner at a global professional services firm. Built businesses from scratch. Achieved what most would call remarkable success.
But with each achievement, I felt more trapped. The higher I climbed, the less freedom I had.
Then came my biggest failure. A business I built with my partner worth millions destroyed. 3 years of hard work with dozens of staff shut down overnight.
That failure became a great teacher. It forced me to question everything. Not just how to succeed, but what success actually meant.
Today, I run FuturePerfect and advise leaders across multiple organizations. I’ve taught at university level. Most importantly, I've built something I never had in corporate life: complete autonomy. I choose my projects, my schedule, my clients.
Through all of this, I've learned that we're living in a world that's volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. The old rules don't apply anymore. One employer, one income, one path - that model is broken.
What works now is what I call the Portfolio Executive model. You serve multiple organizations with your expertise. You provide strategic wisdom, not just time. You build your own path instead of climbing someone else's ladder.
This isn't just theory for me. I live it every day. I have the freedom to do what I like, when I like, with whom I like.
This September, I'm teaching you the exact framework that makes this possible.
Your expertise is worth more than any single employer can pay you for it. I'm going to show you how to finally claim that value.
This Training Is For You If:
✅ You want to choose your clients instead of hunting for an employer Walk away from projects that don't inspire you. Work only with organizations that value your wisdom.
✅ You're ready to price your expertise, not your time Learn why companies will pay £2,000+ per day for strategic wisdom.
✅ You want multiple income sources from knowledge you already have Discover how to serve 4-6 organizations without working more hours than you do now.
✅ You believe your best work is still ahead of you This isn't about retiring. It's about finally doing work that matches your capabilities (and getting paid for what you are ACTUALLY worth)
This Training Is NOT For You If:
❌ You're looking for employment opportunities This is about building your a portfolio of clients, not finding another job.
❌ You want passive income without active work Portfolio Executives work strategically but they do work. This isn't a get-rich-quick scheme.
❌ You can't commit to three evenings of learning Transformation requires presence. If you can't invest 6 hours, you're not ready for change.

FAQs
-
A: Yes and no. I will encourage you to upgrade to VIP. And at the end I'll invite you to join my exclusive Portfolio Executive Growth Academy. But even if you don't join, you'll get tremendous value from this event IF you show up live. The training stands alone.
-
A: Traditional consultants hustle for project work. Portfolio Executives hold ongoing strategic roles as part-time board level executives. You're a trusted advisor, not a hired gun.
-
A: Absolutely. Many begin with one role while employed, building their portfolio before making the full transition.
-
A: Replays are available for 7 days. But the live experience includes interaction and real-time problem-solving you can't get from recordings.
-
A: It depends. I typically suggest that Portfolio Executives charge between £1500 and £3000 to do an initial diagnostic report. The ongoing commitments from clients can also be relatively low. If you’re doing 2 or 3 days a month at £1000 a day, then £2000 - £3000 a month is equivalent to a relatively junior manager within the client organisation. There is also the option of developing your Portfolio Executive workstyle while taking advantage of opportunities for part-time Interim or independent consultant work.
-
A: Nope! The training is online and the model works globally. Sessions are timed for UK but recordings are available.
-
A: If you want personal attention on your specific situation and lifetime access to revisit the material, absolutely. For $17, it's exceptional value.
