1. FAMILY FLEXIBILITY

I think fractional work can be a great fit for the right person. I don't need health insurance because it's covered by my spouse. Therefore, taking a fractional role that allows me to make money, while also being able to work a schedule that fits my family, could be a great option.

2. ENTREPRENEURIAL GROWTH

The reason I participate and am open to fractional positions is because I find that being among other entrepreneurs sharpens my craft and helps my main business. It allows me to do hands-on work, get paid for it, and take those lessons back to my main business to help us grow and succeed. These days, you need every edge possible to compete in the war of business.

3. GAINING PERSPECTIVE

I've thought about taking fractional positions because they can give you a fresh perspective from seeing how another company operates while continuing to work on my own projects. If the position is full-time, I would only be able to balance some of what I currently do and would have to make sacrifices somewhere. 

However, a fractional position is appealing for the flexibility it provides me while still being able to make an impact on the organization offering the position.

4. IMPACTFUL MARKETING

I have thought about fractional work. To have the ability to step into a company, make an impact, and help steer their marketing is a noble calling. I see it as another way businesses can consult with a pro and get true direction. Fractional positions can also lead to more consulting opportunities.

5. KNOWLEDGE OF PREDECESSORS

Working fractional positions can be either really good or really bad, in my experience. In the beginning, they all sound good; it's the actual reality of the position that you need to know. After having done it a few times, I've come to realize that not every fractional position is what it was supposed to be. 

Now, when I am asked about serving on a board or taking a paid fractional position, I always ask to speak with current people who do the same thing or who have done it within the last 12 months. That way, you can find out what the position will really be like. 

If they can't give you any references from the last 12 months or current people doing the same thing, I would pass if I were you. Trust me, I've learned the hard way and had to do fractional positions that were both extremely rewarding and soul-crushing.

6. DYNAMIC WORK ENVIRONMENT

Engaging in fractional work allows you to leverage your expertise across diverse industries. It requires adept time management and flexibility. In return, you gain not only flexibility but also valuable experience, and the ability to contribute to multiple causes. If you thrive in dynamic work environments, fractional work may be an excellent fit for you.
