11 Ways To Go Out Of The Consulting Business

So you are thinking of being a consultant, are new to the profession, or have just lost your biggest (and maybe only) client and your practice needs a jump start.

This is our Top 11 List (one better than David Letterman) of common mistakes that many independent consultants make creating many first year challenges to their success.

1. Lack an entrepreneur spirit.
2. Don't have time to create a business plan.
3. Have a boring elevator speech and no one understand what you do.
4. Focus on "what you do" versus "how the client will benefit.
5. Sit in your office and think the world will find you, causing the phone to ring on its own.
6. Believe "sell" is a nasty four-letter word.
7. Undervalue (and under-price) your services.
8. Have little to no long-term client relationships.
9. Try to do it all yourself.
10. Forget to keep learning.
11. Remain blissfully unaware of Web 2.0 and the online social media phenomenon.
