Are you looking to start a consulting business? Do you wonder if you will be expected to know everything that could possibly go wrong with your clients problems and potential problems?

The fact is, you dont need to know absolutely everything in order to start a consulting business. And the notion that you would even be able to know everything when it comes to technology is very unrealistic. The following 3 pieces of advice can help you learn which skills and what type of knowledge you need to have to start a consulting business the right way.

1) Understand the Balance Between Technical Skills and People Skills. In order to successfully start a consulting business, you need to be really well organized, friendly and someone that enjoys helping other people. Focus on being resourceful and not just a technical genius. When you try too hard to be a technical genius as you build your client base, you can hold yourself back. Computer consulting is about communicating with people and building real relationships. If you have strong technical skills but still need some help working a room, you can get better at socializing, networking, and schmoozing with practice.

2) Find Out If You Have the Right Skills. How do you know if you have the right technical skills and business skills to start a consulting business? First of all, dont let lack of certifications hold you back. Advanced technical certifications are not important to the average non-technical small business owner or manager. You can do very well without ever selling to companies with an IT director. Focus on your ability to build strong relationships and solve real business problems with sophisticated IT solutions. You will do just fine without racking up a lot of certifications that will probably be overkill when it comes to working with most small businesses.

3) Remember that Small Business Owners Want Total Business Solutions and Complete Accountability. Typical small business owners and managers are not looking for just credentials or technical skills. They are buying you and your business expertise. They are buying your comprehensive business solutions and the security of engaging with a consulting business that knows how to work with other companies like theirs.

Do you have the Network Administration skills to support a small business network? Then you should start your own Independent Computer Consulting business!

The following video is the first in a four-part series, which debunks the most common excuses consultants typically give for not attempting to become their own boss.

With today’s low cost Network Monitoring and Remote Administration tools, it’s easier than ever for a Network Administrator to support a small, but very profitable client base.

I’ve helped many of my previous employees branch out on their own to become very successful Independent Consultants and they now continue to help me support my growing client base as outsourced contractors. It’s a very healthy win-win situation.

As an Independent Computer Consultant, you’ll have a level of job security you’ll never be able to obtain working for someone else, an unmatched opportunity for technical and professional growth and you’ll be able to make better than a full-time salary while working far less than the standard, 40 hour work week.

Working as an Independent Computer Consultant is honestly the best possible job for someone with Network Administration skills, plus it’s the perfect business model for supporting the small business customer.

Most consultants I meet hesitate to try and start their own business because they think they’ll need to find lots and lots of high-paying clients who can provide tons of billable hours and big projects.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Here in New York, an Independent Computer Consultant with a client base of FOUR small business clients (an average of 10 workstations each), can be making over $66K annually while working approximately 10 hours a week.

Of course, you have the option to work more than that and make much more money, but the point is that a steady, sustainable salary can be reached quickly and easily.

I’ve put together a website designed to instruct and assist new Independent Computer Consultants reach this level of success as quickly as possible. It’s located at http://www.SuccessfulComputerConsulting.com.

On the site are a collection of free videos showing you exactly how you can obtain the results that I’ve helped many other consultants achieve. You’ll need to register on the site to gain access to the videos, but registration is completely free and takes less than a minute to complete.

So, what’s my motivation for suggesting to you that you become your own boss? I have several reasons.

Well, I spent a lot of years struggling to achieve the level of success I now enjoy. If I knew then what I know now, my road to success would have been much shorter and far easier.

I’ve shared what I’ve learned with many of the consultants I’ve come to know personally over the years, and they’ve gone on to achieve greater levels of personal and financial freedom than I could ever have provided them if I held onto them as “employees”. And because I’ve built my own business to take full advantage of the use of Independent contractors, the more they prosper, the more I prosper as well.

The personal reward I get from knowing that I’ve helped a friend develop a career where they’ll never again need to worry about finding employment, paying the bills or becoming stagnant in their quest for personal growth can’t possibly be expressed adequately in words.
Because I know how to quickly and easily build a profitable Independent Computer Consulting business, and I know how to transfer that knowledge to others and watch them succeed, I’ve become addicted to wanting to help more.

This passion for wanting to see others reach a level of success that they either didn’t realize was possible or thought would be too great a challenge to attempt is the primary reason behind why I created the http://www.SuccessfulComputerConsulting.com website.

The realization of how many more people I could help by sharing my processes over the web made the development of this website a very rewarding experience.

I sincerely hope you’ll consider my advice of pursuing a career as an Independent Computer Consultant and at the very least, check out the free videos I’ve made available on my website. I don’t believe you’ll find a more rewarding career opportunity anywhere.

To your success!
