Feeling Stuck?
Maybe you need a consultant
Have you looked at your progress recently? On a scale of 1–10, how would you rate your results? If your number is under 8, you could benefit from working with a consultant.
Consultants help you to turn your vision of success into reality. They can help repave your bumpy roads, or they’ll shine a light on new opportunities you may not yet have considered. If you are looking to make a significant change in your organization or personal life, consider these three ways a consultant could help you.
Objective Perspective
Consultants don’t have a horse in the race. Therefore, they can consider solutions you may not have thought of before. A consultant can provide unbiased advice, or play devil’s advocate as you consider your options and opportunities. This will help you to work through potential pitfalls and reveal solutions you hadn’t thought of.
Here is an example of how a solopreneur, Marguerite, benefited from working with a consultant — Marguerite has a photography business. She does commercial shoots on weekdays and to make ends meet she does wedding photography on weekends. However, Marguerite is tired of having to split her time between these two industries. She would rather focus on just one and be excellent at that.
