Summary: Elaine Does it Again!
Comment: The Consultant's Quick Start Guide is practical and straight forward. This book is jammed packed with information to get your consulting career off to a great start. The best part of the book, however, is that YOU decide what you want to accomplish in YOUR consulting career. This is not about the theory of consulting. Instead, you have the opportunity to determine the path for your consulting profession. You supply information and answer the questions related to your goals. Wish this was available when I started consulting!

Summary: You could find better...
Comment: Ok, so I wasn't impressed...
This book is definately good at one thing: it makes you think about some important issues of starting your own practice, and it has lots of assignments that I think may be useful. That earns it two stars.
However, what makes this book less useful than, say, "getting started in consulting" (A. Weiss), is the fact that there is no emphasis on creating value for your customer(and setting your fees based upon that value). What Biech is saying is actually that you should divide what you think you should earn in a year by the days you expect to work etc. So whether you help a client gain $50000 or $500000 added value should make no difference on your paycheck... Being value- oriented would help you wether we're talking about gaining clients, getting your fair pay or establishing business relationships. This book hardly touches the issue, even though it's important in so many areas of the business.
What I'm saying boils down to this: There being so many better books on the subject, I see no reason to buy this one. I did, and I'd rather have spent my money on something else.
