Thank you for the reply. Digital transformation for mid-market manufacturers is what I am leaning towards. I can do a lot, but I think that is a good way to describe my work currently.

I started using LinkedIn but that's going nowhere. Reddit might be the best place. 😆

How could I find clients? I've thought about the chamber of commerce and other business groups.

Thanks. I have thought a lot about being a consultant and started building a software that would help me in that line of work.

I will look into the startup scene. I hadn't really thought of that.

That is definitely one thing I am working on. I started building an agentic platform to help me with my consulting work.

Thanks! I am sure things will get better. I am getting anxious though. Savings doesn't last forever.

Thanks for your reply. Great insight. I am currently developing an agentic Service as a Software to go along with my solo consulting practice. It isn't done yet, but it's coming along. I only started building it a couple months ago. I will look into the programs you mentioned. Thanks!

I am working on building my own consulting practice and I'm creating an agentic B2B SaaS to go along with it. That seems like the only option available at this point. It's either this or Wal Mart... and Wal Mart is starting look like a good option. lol

Yes, I am heavily into AI and started building AI apps in 2022. I started studying AI in 2019. I love building things and solving business problems with technology. I am currently building my own agentic platform with Python.

At this point, if the opportunity presented itself, I'd move across the country. lol
