SMB Consultants

Harry Brelsford's book "SMB Consulting Best Practices" is a rich source of valuable ideas and information that I highly recommend to all SMB Consultants. Although some of the web links provided are out of date, most of the information is still very current and extremely relevant. The book is packed with ideas about how to grow a business. Personally, I wish I had discovered this book years ago, when I first started my business. At the outset, Harry asks the reader to question if he/she has what it takes to be an SMB Consultant. This is an important step, as it gives the reader a chance to really evaluate his/her prospects in the business. Harry does not sugar-coat this process, and he makes it clear that if you don't think you have the stomach for the tough times, then you should keep your day job. He then proceeds to lay out literally hundreds of ideas on how to grow and refine your consulting business. There are innumerable books out there on starting a business, bettering a business, maximizing profit in a business, but this is one book that addresses issues that are directly relevant to our business. It's a great way to get your MBA in SMB. Robert MacKenzie Owner, RMCompufix New York City

Great Book, Harry keeps his streak going!

If you know Harry Brelsford and his writing this is the next book in a long line of great books. Harry's wit and personality shines to the forefront but don't be mistaken this book is strictly about making money and advancing your business which Harry is all about. If you're starting up your own consulting biz then you must have this book or if you are just stagnant in your own practice this book has some great pointers to get you going again.Also, as a SMB Nation attendee I suggest that as well, which is the conferences that Harry sponsors.
