How you initially got in consulting? How ro find first clients?

I’m still figuring it out :) just the position change in LinkedIn has started some conversations but I’m currently working on my personal site because it feel like when people ask me where to look for what I can do I don’t have anything to show them yet (most of my career has been for employers, so I don’t own any of my previous work, only stories)

At the same time I’ve started attending local networking events and meeting businesses (chamber of commerce, meetup, etc) and I’m working on some simple items for friends to get testimonials and portfolio.

It is kind of annoying looking back at more than a decade of work and not owning anything of it! Sure, I got paid, but so what?
