Stage one done of the start-up

Back on the 1st of June, I started a consulting project with a start-up in the financial services sector. Over the last month, I've put together an Implementation Plan- essentially a business plan without the sales and marketing. Here's where it started.

I delivered the final today. And now await feedback and the next steps. It appears that the owners are keen to move it forward.

It has been a great learning experience on several levels for me. First, on how to juggle two projects at once. Second, how to move from being perceived as a content expect to more of a trusted advisor. Third, how to balance the nitty-gritty of running a small consultancy with the strategic issues of where we fit in the marketplace.
