Starting a consulting business (alien.top)

Hi all,

Here is my background: • 39 years old • 15 years strategic Marketing/Sales FMCG background (mostly crunching numbers, planning/ allocating budgets, analyzing data, calculating offers, market research) • Owing some multi family homes as Investment • Owing a self storage facility (40 tenants) • Having a Real Estate Agent license (but never worked as a Realtor) • No cash (Everything is in Real Estate or reserved for renovations) • Residing in Germany/Europe

I was approached by a friend he wanted me to make his business plan without even advertising it. So I thought that must be a sign.

I was settled on the idea of starting a consulting business in the field of marketing/sales/real estate. I like putting together numbers and see different type of business. I get bored of routine work…..and most importantly I think I can really help people.

What do you guys think? How would you approach it? I thought I maybe start with writing business plans for people and grow my network.

The 'what' I will let you decide yourself, but since you're looking to build a service based business, I would not be a good fan if I didn't recommend the following books:

DotCom Secrets & 30Days books from Russell Brunson (other books as well, but these are a great starting point).

$100M Offers & Leads from Alex Hormozi.

The books are not tied to 'services', though are perfect if you're starting out with the idea of actually providing value to your customers.
