Closing Comments Your life earned skills will lead you down
viable paths to begin your consulting career Before embarking on a
consulting career, be sure to prepare for it by: Creating whatever
you might need in terms of templates such as proposals,
non-disclosure agreements, checklists, tools, template
deliverables, etc. The more you have readied beforehand, the better
the quality of the deliverables you can create for your clients and
the less strain it will be on you to create them Know your markets
and target clients and understand beforehand how much you can
charge for an hourly rate for what you do, how much you can charge
for travel and related expenses. Always try to negotiate in travel
expenses into your contract where you can if you cant build it in
as a visible component to the negotiated agreement, build it into
your charge-out hourly or day rate to the client so you dont end up
working too cheaply. Seek some form of up front retainer for
expenses where possible if it is out of town work. It is a lot
easier to be exposed on your spent time than on actual expenses you
have had to pay for on your credit cards if the client doesnt pay
youBuild this into your contract and dont get on site until you
have this money. Some paths may allow you to start out slowly or
part-timemight be an advantage to complete the first engagement or
two while you still have a salaried position if you can as
consulting is not for everyone. Remember that a consultant, when
they walk onto a clients site, is usually expected to know more
than most of the internal employees do!
