How do I start a path towards an Environmental Consulting business?
The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you’re interested in. I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box. Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you’ll inevitably have as well as many you haven’t anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant: * Success Secrets of the Leading Environmental Consulting Firms by Zweig White * Guide To Doing Business in All 50 States for A/E/P & Environmental Consulting Firms by Zweig White * Successful Independent Consulting: Turn Your Career Experience into a Consulting Business by Douglas Florzak
