If you want to discover the secrets of building a million dollar consulting practice or any type of practice as a solo practitioner, this is the show for you. In this episode, Dave and Alan discuss: Moving beyond your own cocoon and taking in the rest of the world. Differentiating yourself as someone you and others want to know. Networking – it’s a process, not an event. Creating and maintaining a healthy self-esteem when you’re an independent professional or sales executive.
