Full of useful information and templates on creating consulting agreements and contracts. You can't go wrong purchasing this book. I have employed some of the methods mentioned for marketing, And I'm sure I will see positive results soon. Buy this book!

This book was easy to read and provides a lot of information in small, quick chapters. It is definitely geared towards those of us who are seeking to getting in to consulting. It might be a bit elementary for those who have been consulting for several years, but might offer a refresher course for those in that category. It's a quick read and I can't believe how much info they were able to pack in a small book. It was encouraging and offered realistic expectations and didn't inflate or sugar-coat the truth. Definitely worth the buy.

While this book is great for those wishing to break out on their own and start their own business, it's also tough for young professional consultants to know how to get their foot in the door of big firms and then subsequently take the right steps in order to succeed. Thankfully, there is now a book to do that, Launch Your Consulting Career, which includes how to find the right firm for you, how to prepare an application package that will be read by the right people, how to prepare for interviews, and how to consider your offers. You will also get insight into the 5 key areas that you need in order to out-perform your peers as soon you get hired, including building a network, finding mentors, and proving your skills to your new team members and managers. A sample resume and cover letter are included as well as specific check-lists on how to prepare your resume for advanced readers and how to prepare for your first days on a new project site.

Easy to read, packed with great ideas. Good resource for anyone starting or considering a consulting business.
