I am going to show you how to learn to be self-employed with
your own consulting business.
The said part is most education does not teach you to work for
yourself. They teach you to work for some idiot that is probably
not as smart as you.
Who said that you need more than a high school education to
succeed in business? Jay Abraham, Dan S. Kennedy and Gary
Halbert only have high school educations and they have made
fortunes.
What they did was read.
Here are three of the best books to get you started:
There are quite a few good books on improving your work and
study habits. One of the best is: Peak Learning: A master Course
in Learning How to Learn by Ronald Gross (Los Angeles, CA:
Jeremy P.Tarcher, 1991. $12.95
Using the latest findings in neuroscience, cognitive studies ,
and developmental psychology, Peak Learning shows you how to
unlock the potential of you mind. In this book, Ronald Gross
will show you how to
·Enter a state of flow in which learning comes naturally,
easily, and enjoyably ·Break though personal learning blocks and
increase confidence in your abilities ·Understand, analyze, and
work in your personal learning style. ·Mobilize your critical
and creative powers to support your intellectual growth
If realizing your full potential is important to you; if gaining
master over you mind intrigues you; if bringing back the joy and
awe of learning is something you always wanted to do then Peak
Leaning is for you. (Adapted from the jacket)
Finding Your Niche
The first step in your consulting career is to define carefully
---for yourself and then for others ---just what it is you do.
Consultants work in wide variety of fields. ---Start and Run a
Profitable Consulting Business by Douglas Gray has a list of 183
consulting fields, but even that doesn’t tell you the whole
story for two reasons. First, even in a defined field, people
(consultants) vary no two are exactly the same; no two
“workplace Safety” consultants have quite the same
personalities, backgrounds, interests, and skills.
Second, the are new “fields” popping up everyday either because
of our fast changing world or because some body with special
interest has a good, new idea abut what they want to do.
So “finding” your niche is as much a matter of “making” your
niche as anything else-deciding who are, what interests you the
most (which is likely to be where your skills are-and is sure to
where you are the most interesting to others). Basically, you
have to clarify for yourself very carefully just what it is you
want of like-just what is “true” and “right” for you
Marketing
Guerrilla Marketing: Secrets for Making Big Profits from Your
Small Business. By Jay Conrad Levinson (New York: Houghton
Mifflin Company , 1993, $11.95)
Guerrilla Marketing means using creative and aggressive ways to
get your message out-to find people who want your service and
make paying connection with them. It involves lots of choices,
lots of possibilities, but most of all , best of all it involves
using energy and imagination rather than tons of money, and it
involves tailoring your local, “small Business” needs to your
particular strengths, personality a, and style.
When Guerrilla. Marketing was first published in 1983; Jay
Levinson was the first person on the block with an innovative
take-no-prisoners approach to marketing for small business.

marketing weapons ), Levinson’s philosophy has given birth to a
whole new way of thinking about marketing But times have
changed.. In this completely revised and expanded edition,
Levinson identifies:
·The fastest growing markets in the nineties and beyond with
tips on how to reach and keep them.. ·Strategies for marketing
during a recession ·The most up-to-date information on what
