Fractional work is not vendor contracting.
| Vendor contracting | What I teach |
|---|---|
| Hourly rate | Fixed fee or monthly retainer |
| Through a staffing vendor | Direct client relationship |
| Fills a seat | Owns a defined outcome |
| Replaces your job | Built alongside your job |
| Client sets your hours | You set scope and terms |
It started with one email
One employer is a single point of failure.
I went through three layoffs in my engineering career. Each one taught me the same lesson.
So I sent one email to a former colleague. It turned into an $8K engagement, and it changed how I valued my own expertise.
That's the model I teach: a direct client paying a fixed fee for an outcome you own.
How GAME works
1
Pick your lane
One specific problem you've solved for years, framed as an offer instead of a job title.
2
Build a fixed-scope first offer
Usually a short diagnostic or audit, priced as a fixed fee.
3
Sign your first engagement
Outreach to people who already trust your work, plus proposals, pricing, and your LLC.
Client results
