[thelist] Getting started in consulting

[rudy]

> What has your experience taught you?

not to give up the day job

in my case i was de-hired (corporate merger, most people 
were either let go or offered a chance to move to 
halifax nova scotia --  where's that, you say? exactly)

the part that i didn't have covered was the "sales" aspect --
tracking down potential clients and getting them to contract
my services

i can't imagine ever getting good at that...

consequently i'm now searching for a 9-to-5 gig again...


>PPS: Is this on topic? If not, I'll post a tip next time.

yes, web consulting is on topic

just don't ask us to reveal what we charge  ;o)
