Consultants who transitioned into PE - how did you do it?

Would any consultants who transitioned into PE be willing to share how they transitioned during the first few months of PE please? Would really appreciate your tips and pointers on how to make a more efficient adjustment!

Thanks!

I went from entrepreneur to entrepreneurial consultant to entrepreneurial PE but I don't think that's what you're looking for.
