I keep seeing people ask if AI consulting is worth it in 2026.

Here's a real example.

1 entrepreneur charges $1,600/day minimum for AI consulting to enterprises. She did this for 2 years while bootstrapping her own AI agent platform.

Her entire client pipeline came from 2 things: showing up at networking events and building her brand on social media.

No fancy funnel. No paid ads.

If you come from a corporate background and understand AI, you're already positioned for this.
