How to Start a Consulting Business from Scratch: Step by Step Guide
In case you wonder if you have what it takes to be a consultant, without knowing you, I would say you may have it in you, but if you have doubt, then maybe it is time to do some self-evaluation and realization and see if you really have it in you. Read on and I will tell you what you need to find with-in yourself to know if you can do this job or not.
I co-authored this book with Jim because I was motivated and inspired by him; he showed me that everyone has something in them that can help others. The very first day we met, he told me, "As long as you know little more than the next guy, you are an Expert on that topic." Later he told me it was Tim Ferris who said that originally. I never thought I had any skills to be a consultant, but he did convince me otherwise and took me under his wing taught me everything I know, and here I am."
Before you listen to the book, have an open mind - do not self-doubt yourself in advance. Remember, the very first thing you need in this field is confidence then you need some expertise on the subject. But Confidence is what can make or break you.
Looking back at my own life, I never thought I could be a marketing consultant; I don't have the education nor do I have the skills for it. But he taught me it is not the education that makes you a great consultant if that were the case then every PhD in marketing would take our job. It is the mix of confidence, knowledge, willing to learn and adopt are what makes someone a great and successful consultant.

not much help
I was hoping for more concrete and detailed steps about starting a consulting business, but this book spoke quite generally, with a lot of pages spent on describing different kinds of businesses, not steps for starting them. Disappointed.

This is the real deal. well done and properly optimised for everyone. its just has whatever you need to be at the top of your consulting career.
The best part of it is the fact that the author is practising what he preaches. He followed the same process to get to where is currently and is advising people on how to get there. It was really an eye-opener. I never saw it coming. I am grateful to the friend that recommended this book to me.
I recommend this work for everyone seeking to advance in his/her career. It's a definite must-read.
