William J. Bond
Going Solo
Developing a Home-Based Consulting Business from the Ground Up
McGraw-Hill, 1997
What's inside?
The joy of parachuting in: if you have solid business expertise — and the willingness to sell yourself constantly — you can develop a home-based practice as a consultant.
Recommendation
William J. Bond presents a guide for people who want to become home-based consultants. His manual covers every aspect of freelance consulting, from finding, landing, and keeping clients, to maintaining records and understanding the marketplace. This common-sense book is part narrative and part workbook, including questionnaires and fill-in list forms. It is detailed, but if you have any experience as a solo practitioner, the elementary basic business practices outlined may cover material you already know. getAbstract recommends this book as a primer for anyone who wants to become a consultant working from a home-office and to those who are already doing exactly that and would like a few more tips about how to make a better living at it.
