Every year thousands of people like you decide to make the move to
independent consultancy, and next year hundreds of them will go crawling
back to the security of paid employment. The problem is simple: to
succeed at most jobs you have to be good at what you do; to succeed as
an independent consultant you also have to be good at everything else
all those people you used to work with did as well. The Independent
Consultant's Survival Guide is for people who are serious about
becoming a successful independent consultant. It provides advice from
people who've been there and survived long enough to tell the tale.
Rather than being a book about how to consult, The Independent
Consultant's Survival Guide is about how to be a consultant. Filled
with examples from people who've been incredibly successful, some who
make a living and some who failed, it distills advice and experience
into a useful text, covering how to get started, marketing yourself,
developing the business and more. If you want to make it through your
first year, see your business prosper and grow and don't want to have to
go back and get another job working for somebody else, then this book
will be an invaluable resource.
