Six-Figure Consulting: How to Have a Great Second Career

Rating:
Summary: Practical and Doable Advice
Review: To get into the spirit of things, Dr. Goodman starts with a discussion of the lifestyle and credentials of consultants. The energetic and informative way he talks about it is contageous. He does not ignore the downside (every worthwhile venture has one) but he is enthusiastic in talking about all the advantages associated with the work.

From this initial foundation he goes on to talk about marketing one's skills is which perhaps the major challenge faced by consultants new to the enterprise. He offers a number of options on getting one's name known.

This is a book for serious, hands-on people who want to enter the field. For veterans it is a useful reference book. I recommend it highly.
