Business Overview
If you’re a business expert–you’re a whiz at marketing, reorganization, setting up franchises, retooling the company image, or any number of other specialties–then you’ve got the right stuff to be a business consultant. Instead of reporting to the office every day as a company man or woman, you’ll work as an independent contractor on special projects for a number of clients.The advantages to this business are that you can work at home and you get the excitement and pacing of the corporate world without having to live it on a 9-to-5 basis. You’ll need a strong background in your area of expertise coupled with stellar marketing skills to convince potential clients of your worth. You’ll also need excellent communication and people skills–you’ll be going into the company as an outsider, which can be good or bad, depending on the interpersonal culture of the company.
