This book covers the basics for starting your own service based business; concept clarification, proposal development, promotion, entering into contracts, fincial record keeping advise. It was fun to read and I am going to systematically work my business idea through the steps before hanging my shingle.

Due to deregulation, a national company holding a monopoly in the transportation industry requested my consulting services to prepare for this upcoming change. Using Dr. Cohen's book as my reference and bench-mark, I could easily follow and prepare a solid consulting proposal, and when accepted, to work it out and present it successfully. I strongly recommend this book to consulting novices and veterans alike.

I usually wait till I've finished reading a book to review it but in this case I have been nibbling off of this book for months for valuable information. I is a well put together guide of what to expect and what you'll need to do.

You will need a healthy cup of courage and this book and you'll do fine as a consultant.

How To Make It Big As A Consultant provides you with the basics of how to get started in consulting. When you decide read this book you should be prepared to adapt the advice to specific circumstances in your country as it is focused on operating in a specific region of the worl in regards to tax advice etc

A good read but there are some similar and comparative books available

I have just started my own consultancy business and this book has provided me immense insight and confidence.

This book is just poor. The information is just light weight, the suggestions on how to sell yourself will make you come across as either an amateur or scam artist. What should be the most important section on contracts is severely lacking. This book is not for people who are actually serious about going into contracting.
