Balance What You Know With Who You Know !

Since you can't possibly know all there is to know about computers, you'll need to make contacts in the industry who can assist you when you come up against a situation you're not qualified to handle.




 You will want to compile a network of professionals you can call on to fill any voids you find as you go along.

You have the option to subcontract to other consultants (many university professors, for example, free-lance as consultants).

You may want to put your subcontractors on the payroll or you may simply wish to put your client in touch with your source and then step quietly out of the picture.

You may not receive immediate remuneration for the recommendation, but the long-term benefits can be well worth your efforts.






Not only will this build good-will with your client but the other consultants may wish to return the favor when they have a need for your area of expertise.

Manage Your Growth

Many computer consultants opt to stay one person operation. One of the attractions of being your own boss is that you can leave behind the hassles and politics of corporate life.

The flip side of that coin is that the only funds coming into the business are your own billable hours in any given day.

 Owners of large computer-consulting firms reap a percentage of every dollar earned by each associate.

There are many trade-offs involved in being self-employed. Neither option is going to be a walk in the park.

But the most important thing to keep in mind is to manage your company's growth. Don't get in over your head, just take one step at a time and keep an eye on the road ahead.
