So why become a consultant? Because the rewards can be fantastic, I have certainly never looked back. BUT don't jump in wearing rose coloured spectacles!!!!!
When you become a consultant, you're saying goodbye to the predictability,
normalness, routine and safety of a regular job.
You're venturing out on your own, into unknown territory. From here on out,
you'll need to survive by your skills and your wits, not on a pay cheque that
appears every month without question.
You are most likely to be reading this because circumstances are forcing you to
change.
But you may be seeking lifestyle alternatives that have nothing to do with
earning
more money
.
You may decide to change career because you're seeking a different lifestyle
that will give you more
Time
, more
Freedom
and more
Control
such as
- Freedom to make decisions - no need to seek permission from anyone.
- Finding yourself redundant and realizing you've got a great opportunity to finally start the business of your dreams.
- Freedom to implement ideas - no need to 'sell' your idea to a committee.
- Realizing you want more control over your life.
- Wanting to work from home while you care for a child or parent.
- Spending more time with the people and 'things' you love - your loved ones, your hobby or your life's passion.
- Full control over your livelihood - no need to report to your boss.
- Who to work with - choose not to work with those you do not want to.
- Needing to be home when your kids finish school.
- Realizing you don't like working for a boss.
- Being offered consulting work and realizing that you'd like to do more of it.
- When to wake up and when to work - you plan your own working hours.
- Work from - a home office...your kitchen table...or a shared office.
- Facing medical issues that prevent you from working full-time.
- What to wear - you can be in your pyjamas or wear a tuxedo.
- Being downsized and discovering that other companies need someone with your skills -- but not on a full-time basis.
- Retiring, but wanting to keep busy.
- Wanting to supplement your existing job by moonlighting.
As you start out, the hours may be long and the pay may be unpredictable, but
in the long term, your decision to become a consultant may be the best thing
for you.
The rewards can be fantastic, I have certainly never looked back.
