Product Description
In a true "flat earth" there are no borders or impediments to importing and exporting knowledge. Such knowledge transfer, if recorded, would more than offset the current US trade deficit and balance of trade figures. The audience for this book is primarily solo or small-practice consultants (and those considering independent consulting) who seek the wealth, experience, and gratification of consulting internationally. Both "on the ground" and remote techniques are addressed, so the peripatetic and the home-anchored can achieve significant new goals, adventures and growth-experiences.

Global Consultant = Global Success November 12, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Global Consultant contains excellent pragmatic advice on how to travel. I wish I had read this book before doing a world tour this summer (but the book wasn't out yet). It is an easy read with interesting stories that exemplify the authors' points about how to travel with less stress, reduce cell phone roaming charges, arrive well rested, enjoy your locations, and grow personally and professionally from the experience. In typical Alan Weiss style, it has strong marketing content that will help you expand your brand and reach, enhance your value to clients, price based on that value and how to get paid in foreign currencies. The strongest chapter was on "The Human Software for Global Consulting." The fourth paragraph in this chapter is an excellent business philosophy and worth many times the price of this book. If you want to push yourself beyond your comfort zone and grow your brand, this is a timely resource for our challenging economies.

The Global Consultant is really about how to live a fulfilling life as a global traveller, supported through high-value consulting. It is a combination of travelogue, consulting strategy, tips on thriving while traveling, and using the journey to become a more full person.
If you are looking for tips on how to get rich quick by consulting internationally, this is not the book for you. (Nor is consulting your ideal profession!)
If you aspire to live an enriching, global, life while creating value for yourself and your clients, buy it now.
