Whose advice should consultants take?   Comments

Just because other people come to us for advice doesn’t mean we have to do it all on our own. Here are a few suggestions that BACN members made at the March 27, 2005 meeting.

  • It’s usually a good idea to have an attorney.
  • Join a Business Group.
  • Every coach should have a coach
  • Get a technical person to take care of your computer and website if you’re not a computer guru
  • Look at which business skills you do and don’t have; if you don’t have the skill and don’t want to learn it, hire someone else
  • You need a good CPA who is also a financial planner
  • Don’t forget your clients as a source of information, advice, ideas, opinions
  • Consider a marketing advisor.
  • Collaborate or trade services with another consultant
  • Look for a mentor in your own consulting specialty
  • If you’re a right-brain person, find a left-brain colleague to provide you with the perspective of left-brain prospects
  • Your spouse can be your consultant of first resort.
