Hello everybody! I am with Michael Zipursky on the show today. Michael is the CEO of Consulting Success, where he helps consultants attract more clients, increase their fees, win more proposals and grow their business. In this episode, he shares insightful advice and tips about the consulting business as well as how he turned his coaching into a successful group program. Enjoy!\n\nOne of the biggest mistakes that people make is that they don't take action, they don't put up stuff out there.\n\nEpisode Quotes\n\n"Rather than just sitting on ideas, and planning and thinking, take what you believe and put it out into the marketplace."\n\n"Client achievement is worth more to me than just seeing the bank account grow."\n\n"What consultants are missing is a good marketing plan and a strategy to generate consistent lead flow"\n\n"We treat all our members like family and when they need support we're there for them"\n\n"Don't just build everything first.
