      I am thinking about a new type of restaurants : eating-spots,
      in eating-spots, food keeps changing, chefs also rotate,
      this is opposed to current restaurants,
      thanks to this rotation of food and chefs, eating-spots are way more powerful than restaurants.
      along with that, there is an app,
      people vote for the food that will be cooked in the next days.
      menu is influenced by the live input of the people via an app

      While I agree with you and him that it is not essential, I still think that the value adding of these businesses depends on the line of business you are operating at. a Website can broadcast you services far and wide and also get you the correct exposure, but once again I view those as not essentials while yet being useful

    I LOVE the point of not offering ALLLL of what you know and creating systematized solutions. I work as a small business consultant and while I used to be a personal trainer I will never consult a client on how to lose weight or fix their bum knee. Specialization in niche areas of business is absolutely critical!

    4:55 This is so true! As a ex-med student transitioning into data science I can see how this plays out in all types of interactions! It's one of the first things you learn about patient interactions in med school... how to listen for the root cause/problem and the patients concerns. So to draw the analogy... the patient came in for a reason and you want to find out the specific reason why they came in (which may or may not be immediately evident, but they will tell you exactly what IF you listen and ask the right open ended questions).
    Great advice!!

      CovetedConsultant (Alzay Calhoun) I am serious! I have found it difficult to find information that I could actually use. I have found that those who teach consulting info often talk as if people lacking the specific consulting experience understand what they are talking about. They give philosophical information, and your information has been real world application. You put it all together in a clear and concise way rather than have a bunch of jewels spread throughout books and training leaving the novice to figure out what pieces of the puzzle go where. Appreciated

    I've been doing this stuff, full-time, since 2015... and this is one of the best presentations I've seen on the topic.
    Most of the wannabe guru types talk all day long about "mindset", but you touched on the key issues, here... and "what to sell" is possibly the biggest of them all.
    I've made money in several different areas, and successfully consulted on a lot of things, but finding something to scale into is a whole other thing, altogether.
    A strong argument could be made for a simple propriety product or service... if you've got that... you can literally stumble into everything else... heh...

    The restaurant analogy is on point. Kind of like food trucks, good food trucks are agile because of a simple menu that is good. The variables are fairly well known and everything is standardized.
    For myself, I want to start a tier 1 help desk consultation business. Essentially focus on the desktop/laptop repair, printer and phone support, and Excel/Outlook help. I want to focus on the most common IT issues so I can standardize the fixes and processes.

    Very well done. The keep it strait forward and simple here. I have a true niche fill area and 20 plus years of experience. I like this video for the keep clear and simple factors. With all my experience and possible offerings that was a challenge as I hate to leave money on the table or problems that could be solved left unspoken. I hope to have my business up and running this year.

      Leaving money on the table is a fear for all of us. Still, my advice is to keep things simple and build one brick at a time.

    In consulting you need to sell yourself as an alternative to a full-time employee, and that is how you will be treated, minus the medical, dental and 401K benefits. Scope creep and demands for non-value adding face-time at the client's office will take over, leaving little time for other projects. A client is not your boss, so leave the subordinate mindset behind. You are a consultant, with a clear value proposition to help the client achieve their goals. Act accordingly.

    Simple things, practical. Great video sir, I subscribed. Also, the sun is good enough as it is, that's why it never "blew up", but everyday the sun adds value. That was a shot at the previous comment. Anyhow, I am a learner and look forward to learning from you sir, thank you and keep doing what you do.
