Customer Reviews

A Good Read!

William J. Bond presents a guide for people who want to become home-based consultants. His manual covers every aspect of freelance consulting, from finding, landing, and keeping clients, to maintaining records and understanding the marketplace. This common-sense book is part narrative and part workbook, including questionnaires and fill-in list forms. It is detailed, but if you have any experience as a solo practitioner, the elementary basic business practices outlined may cover material you already know. We at getAbstract recommend this book as a primer for anyone who wants to become a consultant working from a home-office and to those who are already doing exactly that and would like a few more tips about how to make a better living at it.

Easy to read, wonderful planning guide

I just finished reading Going Solo, and by the time I was finished, I had a fairly complete business plan already completed. Not only did this book contain valuable information, it also stimulated pages of ideas and things to do. I definitely recommend reading this book with a pen and notebook handy.
