78- A Roadmap for IT specialists to become Entrepreneurs [58:15m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadIn this episode of The Struggling Entrepreneur, we return to the IT industry and showcase the skilled IT or technical professional who wants to become a consultant within the industry and become a successful entrepreneur.
However, how does someone who has great and valuable technical skills become a successful entrepreneur in the arena of IT Consultant or Technical Consultant?
Listen to Tom Myer, the author of the book From Geek to Peak, describe his experiences, obstacles, challenges, mistakes and success stories in getting to the end-game of successful entrepreneur.
Tom is an author of multiple books and has many years in the IT industry with all sorts of engagements, skills, and clients.
He has charted out a path in his book for the IT Specialist–a path that gives a roadmap and process for launching a business and then avoiding the pitfalls in which many IT specialists fall. Also, he is now suggesting multiple, concurrent and automated revenue streams for these aspiring small business owners.
Yes, you must avoid the “analysis paralysis“–but you must also be cautious of just “jumping in” because you want to be nimble and fast-moving whenever an attractive opportunity presents itself.
In this episode, you will see why it is much more than just money that is so important when an IT Specialist makes the “leap of faith” to start his own business.
