A business that has existing problems must have a way to plan the developmental stages of improvement within that company. Seeking the assistance of a management consultant allows a company to create an improvement for their performance. The need to hire a good consultant can be temporary for projects that do not require a permanent employee. This need can also be for the purpose of using that specialist´s skills when necessary, as well as from the necessity of looking at a company from the outside in as an assessment, and using that advice to create better performance for that company.

A concern with these consulting is the specialist’s ability to transfer methods from one organization who has been able to create an idea of best practices in that industry to another organization. The effectiveness of a specialist in the ability to do this transfer of best practices is up for debate based on the varying needs of one organization to another, but the experience this position creates by the exposure to hundreds of organizations creates a valuable expertise to draw from. Guiding businesses in isolating problems through the use of their own techniques provides a management consultant with the ability to recommend efficient or effective ways of performing tasks for a business.

Management consultants assist their clients with problem-solving in two ways. The first way is as a specialist and expert that handles problems with little interference or input from the client. In this way, specialists are able to analyze problems and create plans of action that are implemented without the client being involved. The second way is as a facilitator, maintaining a focus on how a plan is created and the actual process of finding solutions. This method of those consulting allows the client to be hands on and involved with the solutions process because it requires the client to implement the plan based on the specialist´s advice.

Management consulting is growing in a large way, but because it is tied closely to the conditions in the economy it has shrank in 2001 – 2003. Since 2007, the growth in this industry is on the rise again and the projected global revenues are looking very good. The four main categories of firms for consulting are organizations that are large and diversified, large strategic consulting and management specialists which do not have a specialization in any particular industry, IT consultancies that have more of a boutique structure but offer technologies and services that larger companies offer, and small firms with a boutique structure with a more specialized area of expertise.

Did you ever wonder why a person sitting next to you in the office chooses to work as an independent computer consultant while telling you that he/she is not getting any benefits such health insurance, paid vacation and sick leave? The answer is very simple and may surprise you. This person is doing it because he/she is making 50-100% more than you are while doing the same exact work.

At the same time this person does not have to worry about office politics, size of the annual bonus and whether or not he/she will be getting a promotion. The reason for this is rather simple; all this person really cares and worries about is this person’s hourly rate that he/she is getting for every hour that he/she is working.

In addition to making 50-100% more than a permanent employee computer consultant, depending on contractual status, gets to deduct various items as business expenses such as cell phone, home internet connection, tolls for traveling between client sites as well as gets to make bigger tax deductible contributions to 401k style plans.

Also, whenever independent consultant does not like the project he/she is working on they can, assuming contractual obligations have been met, switch to another project without worrying that a 6 months “job” will look bad on their resume.

Recently due to economic conditions many large companies decided on “hiring” independent computer consultants instead of permanent employees since independent consultants are not included in the company’s official headcount that is reported to the Wall Street during quarterly earnings calls.

Working as an independent computer consultant can be very lucrative financially as well as personally since this work arrangement allows for greater variety of projects and locations.

Eric Kay has been working in New York City for over 10 years as an independent computer consultant. His clients included major Wall Street firms, Big 4 consulting company and Fortune 100 telecommunications and pharmaceutical companies.

The phrase “business consultant home study course” really doesn’t make any sense. This is a phrase that I found while doing some keyword research the other day. This made me stop and think, I wonder what the person who types this in the search box is looking for. Did you type this in the search box?

Because I was researching home business and working from home opportunities. If we just look at the phrase individual word wise, it can tell us what the searcher is looking for. The first word is business. Now this could mean many different things by itself. It could be someone looking for a business, it could be someone looking to start a business, etc.

When you ad the word consultant, you then have business consultant. This now becomes much more clear about what a person is looking for. Wouldn’t a business consultant be someone who helps you or advises you on running your business?

Next we see the word home. Combined we now have business consultant home. This starts to look more like someone looking for help with an existing business or maybe looking for a new home business. When you ad the next word in the phrase which is study, we know this is someone looking to learn. Now we know this person is looking for a business consultant home study. That would mean you are looking for a business consultant who could help you study at home. Now when we put the word course on the end, it is clear that you are looking for a step by step home business study course written by a business consultant. Which gives us the entire term business consultant home study course.

Be careful when picking someone to help you. It is possible to spend thousands of dollars on mentoring and consulting and never advance yourself. Watch out for people who make their living showing you how to make money. I have been known to help someone out or train them, but that is not where my primary or only source of income lies. I have a substantial income from a home base business that has nothing to do with training other marketers.

I have spent some big money on training and for the most part I was left holding the bag. Sure I picked up a few things here and there and it all equals what I know today. My advise to you is learn from someone who has built a legitimate business that does not involve solely teaching other people to make money. Learn from someone who knows how to find a need and then provide an answer to that need. Let’s not forget the know how of the marketing side either. Good luck in your quest for the business consultant home study course.

To Your Home Business Success!

1. Partner with other businesses that serve the same market as you. This can be particularly effective when you have two up-and-coming start-up companies who service complimentary, yet not competitive markets. It can also help to talk to people who work for established companies that serve the demographic you wish to reach.

2. Create free publicity for yourself whenever possible. Even if it means giving away some of your work for free. There are times when the “2 birds in the bush” are worth more than the “one in the hand”.

3. By transferring the risk to yourself and you will ultimately profit. A realistic guarantee makes it safe for potential customers/clients to confidently try your services. Very few people will take advantage of a generous guarantee compared to the extra business it will generate for you.

4. Be personable. To build relationships you have to build rapport with people. It is essential that you can be friendly without coming across as phony.

5. Be opportunistic. A career as a consultant means that you always have to be on your toes and on the lookout for opportunities whenever and wherever they may arise. Always be prepared to do business in a variety of different way and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what comes your way. By looking ou for various opportunities you also need to be…

6. Flexible. Flexibility is one of the key qualities of all successful consultants. Whilst you can never be all things to all people, it is important that you are always as “much as you can be” at any given time. Consultants are not hired on as extraneous staff for “just in case” scenarios. Consultants get hired because their client needs a specific result right now and as an experienced consultant you are the best person to deliver what they want. The best consultants get things done and they get them done quickly.

7. Don’t be too proud to give work away. There will be times, especially at the beginning of your career that you may find the need to work a little overtime without charging for it, or perhaps even be prepared to give away a complete project or two. While giving away your skills may not seem like a very cost effective thing to do, if you understood point 5 above, you will realise that a little freebie here and there can ultimately win you a lot of paid work at a later date. Generosity will definitely pay off.
