This was an excellent brief introduction to being an outsourced consultant. As someone who has left work recently. I've been thinking about many points covered in this course. TJ gave excellent perspectives based on his many years of experience. I'm sure I will become a successful consultant as I follow through on the points covered.

I found the course quite general, you provided snippets of information or subjects that we could look into, I think it would have been more valuable to mention all of the points at the beginning, and then dive into for example section 2 and teach how we can get the right Fees or Clients. This would be more insightful and make me more eager to learn about the other subjects of the course. However, all with all a good course.

I think this was a good overview that held some great tips to getting started. I think connecting or mentioning a few resources to support some of the foundational advice would be helpful. Articles to support value proposition development, software to track finances, and business coaching sites to support consultants when they are ready for it. Just a thought!

Great! As a freelancer from the third world country, I didn’t pay attention to what I worth as long as I’m earning just enough but, after this lesson I think I need to value myself more and the services I offer. This is a great course. Reminds you to be not just an average. Thanks!

The course gives me a complete and basic knowledge of what freelance consulting means. I’ve been a Data Analyst Freelancer on upwork for 8months now, but I’ve got no client. With the instructions here, I’ll spend me time to develop myself in order to sell my expertise. Thank You TJ Walker. I’ll need courses on communication skills...

Good course on the mindset I should have - I am selling a solution and my expertise to solve a problem, I am not free and after I explain what I can do to solve a problem I should say how much it cost right away and have a way to get paid- demonstrate my knowledge by writing ebooks and by creating videos.

I have came to know about the basics of freelance consulting..... Before joining this course, I don't even know what is freelance consulting..... But after seeing this course, I came to know about what freelance consulting actually is..... Thankyou Sir, for making such a wonderful informative course..... Also, The way of explaination was Amazing..... I literally liked this course.....
By Carla Lacy on 8/17/2022
I found it promising but ultimately disappointing because the information was so generalized, and could have been condensed into a series of points of advice. It did not go into any detail of, for example, how to refine a niche, or point to any supporting guidance.

I don't know what could be better but your effort is 100% to me. I really love that you are giving 100% in everything. That shows you do care about your viewer or online students. I love the way you talk and deliver the course. It's very natural and seems very familiar without too many fancy effects and animation. I have watched a lot of your online courses for self-help. It's very good. Thanks, TJ.

I loved this course. I have been contemplating consulting for years, but did not know where to start. This gave me the inspiration to move forward and filled in some key blanks. I can't wait for the training you do that is next on the topic.
