Lesson one, The truth about consulting what it's really like being a consultant, consulting congee, one of the greatest and most lucrative professions in the world. The more you put into it, the harder you work and the greater the skills you develop, the more you'll get out of it, the more successful you will become and the more money you'll make. There are so many aspects that make being a consultant great. One flexibility. You completely control your schedule. I take time off when I want, and I can get up at any time I choose. My schedule is whatever I choose to make it. One big myth about consulting that you'll hear from many people is that you can enjoy this kind of flexibility from day one. The people who suggest this are Onley telling you part of the story while you do have complete control of when you work in reality. If you want to succeed in this business, it takes consistent and focused effort, even though I can now take time off to visit with an out of town guests or go on a holiday whenever I choose, it took time to build my business to get to this point, while at times I have structured by scheduled to work three weeks a month, taking one week off, I could only do this because I worked full out for those three weeks. I am also free to travel the world to work with clients. This year alone, I've spent three months in Japan and six weeks in Europe, as well as time in California, Toronto and Mexico.

Maybe it was your boss or another employee. Whatever the case, when you're a consultant, you choose who you work with. You take on projects that interest you that you want to work on, and you don't worry about the rest. There is plenty of room in most consulting markets for you to pick and choose what you work on. I'll share more on that later in the book. Three. You control your income potential. There's only one person who controls what you earn, and that's you. I'm not hyping this up to sound good. You really can earn as much or as little as you want in this business. If you want to make 80,000 to $100,000 working part time or 500,000 to a 1,000,000 or more a year as a consultant, you have the ability to do this. Of course, you shouldn't expect to reach that level overnight. I'm not offering any get rich quick schemes or a path to instant wealth. The consulting business requires hard work, motivation and determination on your part. But genuine success is achievable. I know because I've been doing it for many years,
