Greg Miliates, Part 2:  I broke out of 9-to-5 prison in 2009 by becoming a location independent strategic planning consultant. I can work from anywhere in the world and have clients more than 10,000 miles away, most of whom I haven’t met in person. I’ve loved every bit of the last three and a half years as a consultant. There’s never a dull moment as I’m always learning about new industries, businesses and challenges. I am a big fan of Greg Miliates and love the work he’s doing over at StartMyConsultingBusiness.com where he inspires and teaches thousands of people to become consultants. So I invited him over to chat about how you can become a consultant. Here’s what you’ll learn in this case study: How to transition smoothly from a day job to owning a full-time consulting business How to identify your skills and choose a market The key factors that are necessary to succeed as a consultant How to price your services, and the key to value-based pricing (even if you find it difficult to quantify the value of your services) How to get clients – and keep them The paths to growing your consulting business 3 specific actions you can take to start your journey in consulting
