Summary: Informative and user friendly....
Comment: As a big fan of "The Complete Idiot's Guide" series and Independent Consultant in the Social Service sector, I found this book to be a great starting place for anyone considering a career as a consultant or independent contractor.

Between this book and some of the Nolo series books, you can access basically any information and tools on starting, running, managing, and promoting yourself in both the public and private sectors.

Filled with basic yet essential information and ideas. Highly recommended!

Rating: 2
Summary: Sub-par Overstatements of the Obvious
Comment: I purchased this book thinking it would be a great overview of the consulting profession and a how-to for private consulting. What I ended up reading was bland summarizations of overly obvious facts--very few chapters in this book don't rehash past topics. My recommendation to any would-be buyer is this: if you have a college education, especially in business, spend your money elsewhere. (Same goes for those who possess above average logic) Otherwise, this book might be sufficient for you.

Rating: 5
Summary: A great resource--even for those who aren't idiots!
Comment: I've been a consultant for 10 years now, but wanted to take an objective look at how I've been doing--this book helped me do that and gave me some great ideas that I need to try.

Not only was it a refresher for me; it was an eye opener. It's an easy read and incredibly detailed too. A great resource to refer to time and again for new ideas.
