My Future Unlimited is a specialist training programme that shows you how to earn an income from consultancy, freelancing and interim management. It’s designed for people leaving the public and voluntary sectors who want an alternative way to earn an income, whether as a permanent career move or simply a stop-gap.
Whether you're just thinking about self-employment and want to know if it's right for you, or determined to do it and want to know how to make a success of it - we can help you. From defining your service to setting day rates and winning work, My Future Unlimited gives you the confidence and know-how to succeed.
It offers a group workshop, a resource pack, online networking and one-to-one support delivered by former public sector managers who've made the transition and lived to tell the tale. We've moved from public to private sector, from large organisation to working alone, so we really understand what it's like and how to make it work. We'll tell you everything we wish we'd known when we were starting out!

"My Future Unlimited has given me the confidence to take control of my destiny"
My Future Unlimited has been a great resource for me. With experienced consultants, who like me have changed their approach to work and employment, I felt confident that I could establish a consultancy and make it work for the lifestyle I wanted to achieve.

"A great day with people who understood what I was going through and wanted to help me succeed"
I'd already decided to establish myself as a consultant, so this was a great opportunity to learn how to do it from people who'd been where I was and successfully made the transition. The workshop helped me understand the market and gave me a lot of reassurance about practical issues.

"Helpful advice that made the transition into self-employment smooth and successful"
The advice and support I received on My Future Unlimited boosted my confidence and helped me in negotiating my terms and fees. After retiring in July, I started working as a self-employed consultant and completed my first month's fee earning work in August.

"My Future Unlimited has been a great springboard to a new future."
I'd heartily recommend this to anyone contemplating self-employment or freelancing. It's an enthusiastic, no-nonsense canter through everything you need to consider. I left work on 1st August feeling full of confidence (tempered with realism!) about my new consulting venture and I really haven't looked back.
