if you have an it consulting practice…
or are thinking of starting one…
you might be interested to know that the funcave in recent months was blessed by the arrival of an utterly fantastic source of info about structuring & starting an smb it consulting practice that could not only have a good chance at succeeding…
but also can lead to the kind of business & life you might actually enjoy.
so you need to set aside $49 & a couple of afternoons of your time to read, from cover to cover…
one of karl “captain prolific” palachuk’s latest masterpieces…
service agreements for smb consultants
don’t let the title fool you.
this book covers much much more than service agreements.
it’s basically 181 pages of solid business fundamentals presented in an easy to understand, plain language format, so that no matter what your level of business sophistication, you are never bludgeoned into oblivion with a bunch of jargon or double-speak.
ideally, this book is not about you copying exactly everything karl talks about…
but rather you understanding the absolute importance of taking the time to properly plan & structure your business, which means you are applying those solid fundamentals to your own endeavors.
now, some of this might be stuff you could find at places like startup nation & other small business resources…
but the unique strength of karl’s book is that it talks about the practical application of those fundamentals, their effect on a successful it consulting practice & how he came to make the decisions he made when starting his company kp enterprises.
as much as i enjoyed hearing the sloane brothers speak at the small business symposium in boston last month…
most of the things they discussed were from the perspective of a product-focused business, not a service-oriented business.
and as such…
i daresay that quite a bit of their talk had very little relevance for most of the people in the room.
while reading karl’s book & thinking about his advice, i found myself taking tons of notes, nodding my head at some of the examples & scenarios he presents…
but most of all, i found myself setting the book aside every now & then to give a deep deep issue it raised in my mind some time to percolate a bit.
that’s right kiddos…
this book can help get you to actually think, which should be worth its weight in gold to each & every one of us.
so if you are someone who is serious about their consulting business & who wants to find out how to better structure that business for success…
head over to greatlittlebook.com & pick up a copy right now.
and be sure to tell ‘em the funcave sent you!
