Hi!

Would be helpful to understand what kind of consulting business you are trying to start as that would dictate your approach quite a lot.

Hi Gabriel!

Do you mean any specific book? On which topic?

I think you'd better start with books on branding, marketing and saling or hire some experts on that, in case your expert level is fine. 

Best,

André

Hi Gabriel,

I am afraid with that limited amount of information it's impossible to get specific advice.

Generally - do great work first and clients will come, especially B2B (not sure if that's your direction though, just assuming, don't have information).

So build your credibility frist by doing awesome work - and contrary to popular advice, undercutting price might well be a reasonable entry strategy to further develop your expertise and building credibility on those engagements.

Hope that helps as generic advice so far - if so, please be so kind to give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Hi Gabriel,

Probably not the best forum to ask :)

Consultants are generally risk-averse...they pick a gaurenteed career and get to advise others on how to make big decisions.

I don't see many consultants venture out into the entrepreneurship world!

Hello!

Could you please clarify which consulting business? Which topic?

This is fundamental to suggest next steps and/or bibliography

Cheers,
