The Consulting Life - Benefits

Working as consultant can be a very rewarding experience for the right person. Life as a consultant can provide flexibility, freedom, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Consultants

• have the opportunity to set their own work hours and work in a location of their choosing such as a home office, a coffee shop, or a client site
• can choose their projects, their clients, and the rate at which they want to expand their business
• enjoy working on a variety of different projects, in different industries, solving different types of business problems.

Consulting can bring rich rewards including substantial revenue opportunities if approached in a strategic, disciplined, and committed fashion.

The Consulting Life - Challenges

Consulting, however, has its challenges. Unlike a paycheck, your income will vary widely. Unlike a job, you are responsible for finding your own work. Unlike being an employee, you are responsible for your own professional development, healthcare, and performance management. Consider the following:

• Do you want to consult until you get a permanent position?
• Do you see consulting as a way to make easy money with minimal effort?
• Do you plan to consult until you decide what you want to do with your life or career?
• Are you not sure why you want to be a consultant?

Then we strongly suggest that you do not pursue consulting as a career. Consulting is not for everyone, and while the rewards can be great, those rewards do not come without an investment.

However, if you…

• Are committed to transitioning to a consulting lifestyle and are willing to invest the time needed to build your consulting business,
• Are willing to take risks and learn by making mistakes,
• See yourself working as a consultant for the next 5, 10, or 15 years,

then you may be a fit for I Get It! Development.
