Summary
The second edition of The Consulting Bible remains the most comprehensive and practical guide to the consulting profession, from launch to high growth, from marketing to implementation. Legendary consultant, speaker, and best-selling author Alan Weiss shows you how to create an independent or boutique consulting practice and take it to seven-figure success.
In the decade since the first publication of The Consulting Bible, an array of significant developments has dramatically impacted the consulting profession: shifts in social consciousness, the COVID-19 pandemic, tele-consulting and virtual meetings, the globalization of the economy, the growth of social media, and many more. This updated edition provides specific approaches and techniques for mastering the new consulting environment. Designed to help you become the authority and expert that organizations turn to again and again, this book is your one-stop resource for: building a strong global brand that draws people to you; marketing remotely to reduce costs and allow for higher fees; mastering the latest implementation techniques; forging strong relationships with the buyers of a new generation; selecting the consulting methodology that best fits your requirements; writing proposals and creating testimonials and references; and using advanced technology to sell and deliver your services.

some useful tips, advice is a little dated
The Consultant’s Bible has some useful tips for wanna-be successful consultants. Even for experienced consultants, there are some gold nuggets in there. For me, it wasn’t the "wow" book I was told it might be.
There are some “Alanisms” and some “bible” points which help provide clarity on the advice being offered.
I have a bias toward executive agility and “ambidexterity.” I winced at some points of the book, for example, when the author said something along the lines of:
No one outside of HR talks about the need for servant leadership.
The best leader is a benevolent dictator.
Generally disrespecting HR
There are references to 2016 and the pandemic, so it’s not like it’s a book of its time or anything.
But the author was clear about his support for DEI, to his credit

A valuable classic for the solo consultant
I read the original many years ago and came back for a refresh. Whilst the style won't be for everyone, and I'd quibble with a few details, there is so much value in this book for the average solo consultant. Indeed, as I come back to this, I can see the validity of so much of Alan's advice. It was also great to have him narrate his own book. It felt quite personal and totally authentic.

Really poor - just a ‘filler’ book
I have previously enjoyed Alan Weiss’ books, but I was shocked at how poor this was. Weiss has written this during the Covid pandemic, and it shows, as it is just a ‘filler’ book where I struggled to find even some useful nuggets, as the emphasis throughout was on how he made it, rather than providing useful strategic consulting tips. Give this one a miss, and try something else or one of Weiss’ earlier works.
