Having been a technology consultant for over 40 years I have seen many shifts in the business climate. Hopefully you have all seen the first in this series of presentations on what it takes to get started in consulting. This session is a more advanced look at what you can and should do to grow your business and keep it healthy. I will show how I have made my business stronger over the years and how I modified my offerings to keep things moving forward, protect my cash flow during good times and bad.
 
The 5 major topic categories covered will be:
  1. General Business Practices including some Truths and Lies
  2. Going it alone - The one person shop.
  3. Partnerships and associations. How to do more while keeping control and not having to do it all yourself.
  4. Working with Agencies. The Good, Bad, and Ugly.
  5. Diversification of your business. Adding services to keep a steady cash flow.
