Good basic knowledge that makes you think

Decent book on a lot of common sense that is good to be reminded of. However the book is geared to those that want to work for larger firms as opposed to starting your own. Some of the points seem regurgitated and diminishes some of the benefit.

Nice for a consultant as an employee but not for an entrepreneur

This was a wonderful book for individuals who are looking to be employees or independent contractor consultant for a company and move up in their consulting career. It is not, however, for entrepreneurs in the consulting business. There was not much mentioned about sales, Closing deals, writing contracts and other things consulting managers need to know. It was however a good read for those who would like to be employees of consulting firms and move up in their consulting careers.

okay book on realestate

Most tips are obvious, but still useful to know consciously. I recommend for consultants, especially beginners.

Good basic overview

Designed for a person new to the field and working as an employee at a consulting firm. Still, the book reads well and is easy to understand. It paints a clear and broad picture of a consultant's life, especially for the intended audience.

Useful at my point in my career

As a relatively new employee of a large consulting firm, this brought up many things that would seem obvious in hindsight, but are very good to know before mistakes are made!

Great tips for new consultants

This was great information that they don't tell you when you start consulting as a new member in the work force and/or new to consulting.
