Are you thinking about becoming a consultant?

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.

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.

The focus topic for the early portion of the meeting will be:

How to get started "on the cheap" and quickly

o Bank Account, Fictitious Name, On-Line Resume, LinkedIn?, Business Phone Line?

o Plan on slow startup with slow ramp up

o Look for potential partners - Prefer Non-Competitive

o If you have skill, set up Website Blog, don't expect SEO to help

o Do lots of networking with old associates = 50 Person List

o Engage in a "Massive Effort"Do lots of informational interviews

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 or reviving a consulting practice. So bring your questions. We will end promptly at 1:30 PM.
