Consulting Is Up, Not Down

Consulting Is Up, Not Down

Business Week reports the results of a combination of Bureau of Labor Statistics figures and Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index, and the producer price index, in the February 16 issue. Prices for things such as gasoline have fallen 43%, homes 18%, vehicles 3%. “Management and technical consulting services” are up 1.7% from December 2007 through December 2008.

In this economy, this profession is slowly growing, and I know a great many consultants whose businesses are up by a third and more. If you have value, and know how to market, this is a great time to be in this profession. If you don’t have value, you don’t deserve to be successful, and if you have value but don’t know how to market, then shame on you, because that is eminently correctable.
