If you can get beyond the cover and perhaps the title, what you will find is an up to date book full of excellent examples and infomation. Not only does it offer the usual do's and don'ts, it offers well researched results and invites the reader to challenge their own thinking and go beyond what they think they can do. I don't think you will be disappointed. Excellent for someone starting out and someone who needs what Bly calls a, "jump start."

This book is one of the better ones out there. It really does take you step by step through all the different business development considerations inherent in a consulting business, and offers some excellent advice for getting yourself started. The appendix offers some useful forms and examples as well. This book is probably more for the beginner than the established consultant, but as a beginner, I learned quite a bit.

Mr. Bly a well known consultant gives an outline guide for one to become a successful consultant. This book also details what is expected and needed for you to achieve the coveted 100,000 a year status. Though, it does not have a cohesive flow throughout its chapters this book can take you from point A to point B in no time.

Mr. Bly has been in this business for a long time. He gives his own address, phone number, home page, ... which is unusual. His personal approach may just work in this economy.
What the book does not tell you, is how you can get consulting assignment in the first place. Being all things to all people will not work.
