IF YOU’RE SECRETLY DONE WITH YOUR JOB, READ THIS
I built Future Fractional for people who know they can’t keep doing this forever.
It’s taken a few years, but I can finally say this without hedging: I have a successful fractional practice.
It pays well.
It lights my brain up.
I work with people I genuinely like.
My calendar doesn’t make me dread Mondays.
My career fits my life, instead of contorting it.
That didn’t happen by accident—or by following conventional advice on consulting, freelancing, or “picking up a few clients on the side.”
WHY I BUILT FUTURE FRACTIONAL
I’m obsessed with self-employment—grounded, practical, and nervous-system-aware.
Not everyone needs to be self-employed forever, but everyone should understand how it works—and how to do it without burning out, damaging relationships, or losing themselves.
Here’s what I see all the time:
Competent people, senior operators, COOs, CFOs, HR leaders…
Carrying entire companies on their backs.
Exhausted, underpaid, endlessly available, cleaning up messes they didn’t create.
Living with quiet anxiety, no security, no leverage.
Then one day, the job disappears. No warning, no runway, no backup plan.
That makes me furious. And it’s exactly why I help people transition into fractional self-employment intentionally and sustainably.
WHAT FUTURE FRACTIONAL OFFERS
Build a practice that pays you appropriately.
Gain leverage and choice.
Work with clients you’re excited about, not ones you tolerate.
Learn to price, scope, position, and protect your energy, so your work supports life instead of draining it.
Fractional work gave me freedom I didn’t know was possible, and once you see that path, you can’t unsee it.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Anyone who’s quietly thinking “I can’t keep doing this forever.”
Fractional-curious folks who want guidance on starting smart, without chaos or panic.
Onward,
Mary Alice 💛
