This is not the book which will turn you into a consultant all of a sudden (surprise, surprise). For what its worth, it would not even help you realize if you are good fit for this hat. Yet, what I like a lot is that it gives advices on being more self-aware and organized. This is one of the better business reads and I would recommend it to people who want to learn to be more confident and persistent.

Alan Weis creates a good overview of practices which allow people to better "sell" themselves. Check the book if you are into entrepreneurial thinking, want to be able to present yourself better or just want to explore another option ahead.

Don't let the copyright date of this book fool you, there's plenty of pertinent information in here even for 2017. There's plenty to laugh at too, like remembering to send faxes to people. But the concepts are here. Weiss also comes across a little...high falutin' sometimes for my taste, but this is book held my attention for its contrarian and supported positions against common beliefs.

Absolutely great, packed with good and practical advice - has to work to implement them, but that's the point.
Every freelances - not just consultants - should read this.

Perhaps useful if you are a freelancer, but honestly I have no idea how I ended up reading this.
