Anyone here a business owner/freelancer?

sizeon

I was thinking in starting my own consulting firm within 15 years. I have been working for IT consulting firms for a couple of years now. Once i obtained exchange, vcp and a storage certification i will do freelance consulting to build up my reputation/get clients and expand from there with one of my buddies. For those of you that are on the same boat, how did you do it?

Not sure if you do Podcasts, but ...

The Mike Tech show and tech vets are good podcast that deal with these issues.

Tech vets is more for computer repair business owners, and those that want to open a computer repair business. It’s also a good show for computer repair techs.

The Mike Tech is about what Mike learns while he runs his Consulting business. There is a lot of knowledge within each of these podcasts.

Also, you can send him questions and he will do his best to answer them.

Both shows take voicemails and Email questions.
