How are you making money?

So far nobody said what he is actually doing, except couple IT guys.
I'm getting increasingly suspicious at you guys.

As about what I do, nothing. But my money, ah they work quite a bit.
Ha, you are not wrong.

My front was in the international hospitality industry and that covered for offshore consulting. Mostly very tailored solutions for (U)HNWI. Those services ranged from tax optimisation to location scouting or from negotiation on behalf of a client to organising security services in weird countries. Still vague, but at least a little bit more right?
 
Freelance consultancy work through my UAE company. I specialise in several activities (not a full list by any means):

Project Manager/BA to banks and asset managers/hedge funds.
ERP system consulting/implementations
Setting up compliance/AML systems and processes for companies
Operational risk
Organising business infrastructure, e.g. for a new fund/finance company launch (previously worked as a COO)
Content writing and websites
Using my relationships to bring people together if/where possible
General consultancy work
A bit of real estate on the side

How do you get clients?

There isn't a set rule. You either go through your network, e.g. former colleagues, friends of friends or clients or other consultants from previous projects.

That being said, I am in a position now where I can take on extra work and provide more consultancy services, so will be looking to ramp up my outreach.

I have had to fix quite a lot of mess here in the UAE/GCC where cheaper, outsourced labour was let loose on clients' projects.
