HOW TO MAKE MONEY ‘LONG TERM’ IN CONSULTING

JAMES CHAN, PH.D.

Abstract: Sharing real-life stories and real-world experiences of 40 men and women including himself, James Chan will relate the five "stations" that all consultants must go through to make money ‘long term’ in consulting. These "stations," which James calls (1) Self-Knowledge, (2) Passion, (3) Action, (4) Realization, and (5) Evolution (the SPARE frame of mind) mirror the inner journey of all successful independent consultants who seek fortune, fame and selfhood. They choose clients they like to work with. They enjoy their work and their work is meaningful. They know, and practice, the art of making money in consulting. The SPARE mindset and the lessons learned are documented in James’ book, Spare Room Tycoon: Succeeding Independently, the 70 Lessons of Sane Self-Employment. You can read sample chapters of his book at: www.SpareRoomTycoon.com.
