Small Business

My hairdresser has recognized that I have a keen notice on what’s happening in the city and has suggested that I write a city guide or book or become a consultant. How do I develop this into a business?

What is a consultant? What does one do and how do they get paid?

A consultant is to perform in a wide scope of work, ranging from writing a text book to build an overpass or bridge in the highway.
The following is an example of the guidelines of what a consultant do. It is described more specific a piece of work to be done within the deadline as both (employer and the consultant) have signed a contract.

You can find more work areas for the professional contractors in the entire following website.
Hong Kong government is the most incompetent, lack of concern, lazy, and always passing the bucks to the others and keep themselves out of the public critics. Hong Kong government has wasted more than HK $ 5 billions to pay the not necessary consultants for anything relating to the matter of public policy and public concern. For instance, building a dump site, should they buy the medicines for swine influenza, should they pay for the disadvantaged kids education, and you name it.
Hong Kong has the highest paid civil servants and, particularly those do nothing officials are the highest paid in this world. It has a first quarter fiscal deficit of 2008 is recorded as HK $ 8.4 billions (it was published as HK $ 800 billions) in the local Chinese newspapers around March 2009. Many sane and good consultants and scholars have send proposols to HK government to launch a wage cut to the overall overpaid Hong Kong civil servants and officials by at least 6% to 60% to save Hong Kong from the predicted Doomsday in the next five years. Should you think about to make millions and to rescue the poor majority of Hong Kong citizens are dipped into the severe socioeconomical problem.Write them a proposol and ask for 10 millions as the consultation fee for saving Hong Kong from economic collapse to eliminate at least 20,000 extra do nothing civil servants and to axe their overpaid wages as described in the above-noted. Hong Kong government admitted another first quater fiscal deficit of 2009 is HK $ 5.32 billions.

My brother has a CA and has 25 years of work experience as an Senior accountant in an accounting firm . He is planning to become a consultant to implement ERP application. What would be some requirements ( educational, work related) that are usually required for consultants to be hired by prospective companies?

I recently graduated from college- in a degree program where the dean of the program authored about 5 books on ERP and ERP implementation. He also brought in multiple guests that were pioneers of the industry to speak.

The best idea I can give you is to fully understand what ERP is, why it is important, and how to use a system effectively. I put "a" system b/c every company has their own proprietary system. Therefore, since they are all different, you must learn your system.

To specifically answer your question, the main requirement is experience. You must show that you can handle a task this large; and it is large. It is not just software you will be faced with—-PEOPLE. People generally don’t like change. Read articles about about SFA – sales force automation- to really get a grip on that.

If you would like more specific information – books & articles- feel free to contact me: wood_kj@yahoo.com

Good luck
