Excellent

It was an okay read but some things are slightly outdated. This book is a resourceful tool for those considering and starting a consulting business--especially for beginners. Most of the literature included in the read was basic information that I am quite familiar with and took basic notes just in case. It is also helpful if you are thinking about having a consulting business or doing it as a whole.
