Professional Growth & Accountability Through Community |
|
When you join the IT Consulting Academy you are not presented with a bunch of training videos and then left to yourself. You have access to Tom and a community of like-minded IT pros in the forums to ask questions as you go along. The IT Consulting Academy forums foster growth through community and accountability. When I started my IT consulting practice I was on my own. It was a bad economy, the stock market crashed, I was scared, I had no income, didn’t have much money in savings, had a lot of bills, had no clients, and had no one in my corner to help me. All I had were my IT skills and my determination to make it happen. My back was against the wall; I came out swinging and made it happen. During the last 15 years I have learned so much about IT consulting and come across IT professionals who want to do what I do because they feel stuck in their career. The lessons I have learned in my IT consulting business have cost me tens of thousands of dollars and countless hour of hard work. Since there is a shortage of IT people in the business world now is the best time to get started with your own IT consulting practice. I created the IT Consulting Academy to help you with your dream of starting your own IT consulting practice. With the IT Consulting Academy video training’s and forum community we are in your corner. You don’t have to go it alone! You can ask for help and get answers to help you build your business. | |
Who is Tom? |
|
Tom’s a guy from the Chicagoland area who started and has been running an IT consulting firm for more than 15 years. I initially started my IT consulting business because I was forced to. I loved the IT consulting company I worked for but the owners sold the company and through a series of mismanagement decisions the business was closed. It was during the 2002 DOT COM bubble burst which was one of the worst periods of time for starting an IT consulting business because layoffs were everywhere and companies were not spending money. Through numerous trial and errors I was able to start and run a successful IT consulting business where I call all the shots. Now, I create my own work schedule and make more money than I would have at any full time position at some company. I do not have to be around the same people every day, deal with office politics, I get to work on good projects my way, and I do not have to worry about layoffs. My IT consulting business has given me freedom to take control of my life by spending my time as I see fit. You can do it too! The IT Consulting Academy was created to help IT professionals to achieve employment freedom by starting their own IT consulting firm. Currently there is a shortage of IT professionals in the business world. You only need a handful of clients to make a full-time living. The time is better than ever to start your own IT consulting business.I can’t wait to help you start your IT consulting business. – Tom |

FAQs
I’ve got a full time job, children, and so many responsibilities. Do I have time to start an IT Consulting business?
I understand time is limited but everyone has 168 hours a week. If you want to move your IT career to the next level you will need to make the time. You will have to sacrifice one activity for working on your IT consulting practice. Remember the sacrifice is not for ever it is until you have your IT consulting business up and running. Through time management, following the IT training’s step-by-step, and planning your time wisely you can make it happen. The IT Consulting Academy explains how you can do it.
I don’t have a lot of extra money to invest in my business. Is it still possible to create an IT consulting firm?When I started my IT consulting business I had a ton of debt that totally stressed me out. I had no more regular income and since I was just getting started I had no customers either. Needless to say I had to watch every penny. Starting an IT consulting practice does NOT cost as much money as you think. In the IT Consulting Academy you will learn how to budget and more specifically you will have access to the “IT Consulting Business Startup Worksheet” which outlines all the expenses you will have so you can control your costs and a limit any surprises. |
I have great IT skills but I hate IT Sales. How will I be able to find clients?I too use to hate sales! Let’s face it though! If you don’t have sales you don’t have a business. I don’t care how good your IT skills are. In the IT Consulting Academy you’ll learn that IT sales do not have to be difficult. You will learn how to identify the right clients for you and cultivate a sales message so when you are in front of a potential client your sales message will come naturally. You will learn IT marketing techniques, how to find clients, how to sell to clients, create proposals and how to convince the client to hire you. There are 30 IT sales worksheets, IT sales checklists, and numerous proposal templates you can use to help win new clients. The sales copy is created for you. All you have to do is personalize it to fit your IT consulting sales situation. |
I have trouble keeping clients and my existing IT consulting practice isn’t bringing in regular monthly income. What should I do?In the IT Consulting Academy we address this issue. Most likely you are working with the wrong type of clients. In module 11 training’s you will learn how-to create repeat business and keep your customers for years. You will learn how to cultivate a client relationship, make yourself indispensable to your client, and find additional work within your existing clients and the many ways of keeping customers for years. I have learned over the years you will have three types of clients: regular monthly clients, clients who call you every three months or so, and clients who hire you for special projects. As long as you know the type of client you are after you will be able to cultivate a book of business that will bring in regular monthly income that is predictable. You will learn to find a balance between the various types of clients. |
Everyone (including my spouse) thinks I’m crazy. How can I get family on board with my IT consulting practice?Most people are conditioned to find security in a full time job because it is predictable. However that is a misnomer. When you work at a full time position that is a single point of failure in your employment career. Your boss and you might not get along. They may have layoffs. There are numerous reasons why you could lose your job. Creating and running your own IT business you will have numerous clients. It is kind of like a mutual fund where the fund has numerous company stocks. If one of the companies does poorly you don’t lose all your money. The same goes with IT consulting business. When you have numerous clients you can bill a little every month to a number of clients. The total billing can exceed the income of a full time position. Then if you lose a client or two it is not devastating because you have other clients to work for. Then you replace the clients you lost. So with that said explain this to your spouse. Then prove it! Find numerous clients and when your income begins to equal or exceed your full time position you can make the decision to go full time in your IT consulting practice. |
