Episode #2: Consult LIKE A BOSS!

Overview

This episode's topic is one that’s very close to my heart; and that is starting a business, more specifically, starting a consultancy business.

I really wish that I could go back to when I first started my business, only knowing what I know now. Obviously, I can’t do so the next best thing is to share what I’ve learned and hope that it will help someone else.

So, in this episode I talk about what a consultant actually is, how consultants are paid, the advantages consultants have over employees, and the steps you need to take to become a consultant.

How To Become a Consultant

To start any kind of business there are three things that you need:

1. A product or service to sell
2. A market to sell it to
3. A way to get paid

But when it comes to starting a consultancy specifically, we need to delve into a little more detail. So to help out with this, I've created a FREE checklist that out lines the steps to becoming a consultant in your field of expertise. By following the 13 steps in this checklist you can start a consulting business and begin to enjoy the rewards of doing the work you love.
