Considering a career change? Here are 10 rules for building a successful consultancy

If you have been listening to us for a while now, you probably know about our “I’m in a Pickle” podcasts and the “5 Rules” series. If so, and you’re a fan, today is your lucky day because this podcast is a mash-up of both series. Not only that, but we also added in 5 more bonus rules for 100% more rules. 

It seems that quite a few people in our audience have a pickle. They want to start a consultancy but don’t know what to do. So, we are here to help.

In this episode, we explore the 10 rules for building a successful consultancy and how they apply to your success. While we can’t guarantee that you will be successful if you follow them, we know that you won’t be if you don’t. 

Here are some key moments in the discussion:

• 02:47  Colin kicks off the rules by encouraging to read an old book for some new thinking and to challenge yourself to be brave.
• 13:20  Ryan explains the critical mistake many entrepreneurs make when starting a new venture and how you can avoid making the same one. 
• 20:41  We discuss providing value to your customers and how you can tell if you are doing that. 
• 24:39  Colin gets practical about something that there is never enough of in a new business, money, and how to make sure you get what you are owed.
• 27:44  We wrap up the rules by explaining what you shouldn’t do, even if there is good money in it.
