I'd be grateful for any advice you all have on the best way to learn more and/or how to pivot from being a role player in the development of projects to leading them.Please keep in mind that I  do currently have a full time job in running my engineering firm and that while the success of the last few years has come with some financial reward I'm by no means in a position to bankroll projects on my own.Thank you.
