Great "start-up"

This book provides a good "start-up" overview for anyone inspiring to become a consultant. There's a lot to learn from Alan, he is a successful story. In this book he shares his "blocking and tackling" process; I believe it can be extremely helpful.

Consulting

This book is great. I didn't even know what a consultant was before reading it. It has a bunch of really practical advice and words of insight from the author. I recommend it to anyone who is looking to lead any project whether that be a community garden or a fossil fuel manufacturing plant.

"How to" with motivation and depth

This book provides the necessary motivation and support to get started. It is not your typical "how to" in that the author provides personal feedback and examples of how he started while offering third party lessons learned to remain relevant and interesting throughout the book. Some chapters are more basic than others and the author encourages the reader to skip around as appropriate. It is written in a way that allows for the unorderly read in order to get the most out of the book. As a marketing professional, I particularly found the marketing chapters helpful and spot on with the practices that are most universal today. And, again, the Marketing 101 and Advanced Marketing chapters provided appropriate options to keep all readers interested and engaged. Throughout the book, I took notes of what my next steps were to making this a reality and have used those notes and the book as a reference point as I navigate through the process.

Overall, this is a quick read with fantastic advice, guidance and feedback on how to successfully start a consulting business, and then maintain it. I plan to reference this book in the early stages and throughout as a reminder to not get too settled in - and to always market!
