Are you thinking about becoming a consultant? Start the year off with a new Consulting Practice. Learn how to enter the Consulting Business professionally. Are you just Retired, or do you want to get out from under sub-contracting or just considering moving into Consulting? Then this is the Meetup for you.
The focus topic for the early portion of the meeting will be: How to decide which Service to Focus On for your services
o What do you really want to do? Can you keep it up for the long run?
o What kind of people do you want to interact with?
o Is anyone else offering this service?
o Focus as best you can on a Market Niche, Narrow, but not too Narrow
o Look at what your competitors feature as a service - Try the Internet or Craigslist, or PATCA or IEEE CNSV or IMC to check it out.
o Think of a potential service, then "shop it around" to see how it is received by friends and associates familiar with the niche.
o Do you want to really keep learning in this area. "Sharpen the Saw"
Two seasoned members of PATCA (The Professional and Technical Consultants Association) will be leading a monthly roundtable meeting to discuss ideas of interest to those just starting in Consulting or Independent Contracting.
The Format is as follows:
1. First, there will be a quick round of introductions by those in attendance.
2. Next, there will be a 15 to 20 minute discussion around a specific topic related to starting an independent contractor business.
3. After the presentation, there will be a formal discussion on the presentation topic. Then the floor will be open to answer general questions on starting a consulting practice. So bring your questions. We will end promptly at 1:30 PM.
