Welcome to Consultant Launch Pad, where we want to help people decide if they’re cut out to consult or do contract work and then help them set up their businesses and find customers. Our success depends on inviting visitors who have been doing this for awhile and are willing to offer their advice and counsel.
Many people are predicting that portfolio careers are the future — working for many different clients, being with one employer for a much shorter period of time. They believe many of the jobs that have been lost are not coming back. Some people are here because their choices are limited — they can’t find the right jobs (executive level or otherwise) and they need project work just to pay their mortgages and feed their families and prove what they can do to a prospective employer. And this neighborhood is getting bigger by the day.
We’re still in the early stages of construction; after all we want the people who live here to have a voice in what their home and community looks like. We do want to point your attention to a few features that we think you’ll like:
- You can ask questions (or provide answers to other people’s questions) in the Forum but it’s also a place to network, share suggestions, and collaborate. We’ve started a few discussions, but want you to ask the questions. Please register on the Forum page (we’d like everyone to provide user names when they participate).
- Everybody likes Free Stuff, and we’ll be adding new things all the time to that section (you can find it on the Navigation Bar). Free Stuff includes Downloads of checklists, charts, and other resources that will help you regardless of your experience and a page with Links to blogs and sites we’ve found useful during our travels. Let us know about other terrific ones you’ve come across. Please add your suggestions to the Comments or send them to us separately.
- 30 Second Launch Pad enables experienced consultants to share what they’ve learned over the years. If you’re interested in contributing, please let us know. These will start as blog posts, but you can find them all together by clicking on the category listing or under — yes, you guessed it – Free Stuff…along with an Elevator Speech page.
In addition, the one thing we know is that we don’t know everything, so we’ve posted some Guest Blogger guidelines under the Contact Us tab.
There’s a lot more cool stuff coming very soon, all geared toward one of our three primary Missions. Please come back often and see how construction is going. And let us know what you think.
Welcome to the neighborhood!
