Hi,
Please reply to Alexander Chang’s post before 8 pm EST today(100 words, requirements are above): I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this episode of Craft of Consulting. In this podcast, there were several key points that were brought up that have been mentioned in previous episodes. The main recurring takeaway for me was the paralyzation of fear. I believe that many people want to go into the consulting industry, but do not want to leave the corporate world. The corporate jobs have steady pay, and many people know that they are already good at their jobs. In this episode, Sagastume stresses the importance of doing something you can get excited for. If you are excited for your job, then the work and results will show. I can relate to this because I have had a co-op where I thoroughly enjoyed doing the work and a co-op where I was not overly enthusiastic about. Sagastume is absolutely correct because the work I did that I enjoyed would be done much more efficiently and effectively, while the work I did not enjoy doing almost felt like a chore. It is important to not cage yourself into something you do not like doing because many people will spend 40 hours doing the work they do not enjoy. If you want to get into consulting, then you need to get over the fear of making the switch and do something you think you will really enjoy doing.
Sagastume also stresses the importance of making a plan. Without a plan, as a consultant, it is difficult to succeed. Sagastume says that it is important to have cash on hand when you make the switch, gather social proof of your skills, and possess the mindset to believe in yourself. I think the most important of the three is to have the correct mindset. Without a goal-oriented mindset and the belief in your abilities, you will ultimately fail. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I think the mindset is something that is easily overlooked because it cannot be represented on paper.
