Have you thought about turning your expertise into a solo consulting business but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you've taken the leap and are struggling to get established? Jacq Hackett understands that making the transition from employee to solo consultant can be daunting.

Consult invites you into the often closed shop of the consulting world. You'll learn what you need to know to get started on the right track, along with practical and simple steps for developing your consulting expertise over time.

This book has insights about what you need to bring with you to be a successful consultant – what you need to have already in your personal toolbox of skills, knowledge and traits. These will be the essential foundation of your solo consulting business.

But you’ll also need to master some core consulting skills if you’re going to make a success of it. Jacq provides valuable advice about the core skills you need to get on top of quickly if you’re going to survive:
• Mastering the art of producing consultancy proposals that will win you business.
• Conducting effective stakeholder consultations.
• Distilling information into a set of useful findings for your client.
• Crafting an excellent report.

And then there are consulting skills you can develop over time. You won’t need to be proficient at them immediately, but you will need to hone them to build a professionally and financially rewarding business:
• Managing project scope.
• Accurately estimating your costs.
• Carving out your ideal niche.

If you’re transitioning from employee to solo consultant, this book is a must-have resource that will simplify your journey, strengthen your effectiveness and guide you to success.

Jacq's book is packed full of insightful and realistic advice that I've been able to implement straight away in my business. I found the 'proposal writing' section particularly useful and have already seen positive business results due to using Jacq's approach with new prospects.

The book is separated into easy to digest sections and is definitely worth putting a day aside to read. Your business (and your profits) will thank you!

I came across this book just as I was planning a career change. Jacq Hackett has laid out how to make consulting work for you. The book is full of practical advice based on her own years of experience and it is so helpful. As I venture out into my own consulting business I will keep drawing on Jacq's great tips and advice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST read.
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2017
Its incredible for how such a small financial outlay we can get a lifetime of knowledge, in this case very specific knowledge about how to go from being an employee, to being the master of our own destiny as a respected consultant.

a MUST read.
