Why you should read Getting Started in Consulting
Alan Weiss is blessed with the ability to pay attention to details without losing sight of the big picture. He gets down and dirty when he has to, telling would-be independent consultants to take an honest look at your balance sheet and to shave every spare penny off your monthly bills. Yet he also flies high with some broad (and occasionally obvious) advice - such as promoting yourself so that business comes looking for you, rather than the other way around. getAbstract.com particularly appreciates the inspired editorial design, which features important principles, definitions and Q&As with successful consultants.
