About this title

Synopsis

You already know more than you think. The question is, do you know how to use it?

What if consulting isn’t a career change, but a shift in how you think?

So You Want to Be a Consultant

A practical guide to turning expertise into a trusted advisory practice

Consulting is widely misunderstood. It’s not about having all the answers. It’s not about selling services. Consulting is a mindset. It’s the ability to define problems clearly, apply experience with discipline, and deliver value others can trust.

In So You Want to Be a Consultant, Lembo draws on decades of real-world experience in facilities management, engineering, and professional services to explain how to become a consultant and what it actually takes to build a credible consulting practice.

This is not theory, and it’s not a startup gimmick. It’s a practical guide for experienced professionals who want to transition into consulting, start an independent consulting practice, or operate as a trusted advisor within their field.

Inside this book, you’ll discover:

How to become a consultant by leveraging your existing experience
Why consulting begins with how you think, not what you call yourself
How to clearly define your expertise in a sentence or two
The Consultant’s Triad: Expertise, Trust, and Value
Where your experience translates into real consulting opportunities
How to build credibility and avoid common consulting mistakes
Practical tools to help you structure and communicate your consulting services

Whether you are exploring consulting as a side business, launching an independent consulting practice, or repositioning your career toward advisory work, this book provides a clear, experience-based roadmap.

Direct, practical, and grounded in real-world consulting experience, this book is written for professionals who are ready to move beyond execution and begin operating as trusted advisors.

This isn’t about becoming something new. It’s about recognizing what you already are and refining your most important deliverable: you.

So ask yourself:

Am I ready to think differently about my experience and what it might be worth?

If the answer is yes, this book will show you where to start.

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
