    "I have a lot of back to back calls, which means that I don't have much time to get *actual work* done" --> the biggest struggle in consulting, I feel this so hard 😂😂 Props to you for staying on top of the time zone so well though! My sleep schedule would not let me do that very well so much respect hahaha

    • @bykchoi
      @bykchoi  4 года назад +6

      Yup. Lots of calls means lots of talking about the work instead of doing the work 😂 It’s difficult to wake up so early but I’m used to it now (and I recharge over the weekend!)

      @@bykchoi Is it possible to be an independent consultant? I have a background with film/media producing + production coordinating. Found a huge passion in developing small businesses so I figured I could invest time to learn about that (LLC, and typical issues they'd face). No pressure on answering, but could one be an indep consultant and how should they set themselves up?

    • @bykchoi
      @bykchoi  4 года назад

      I think it’s just a matter of getting clients! You would probably start with people you already have a connection with, and then gain experience/testimonials from them. In terms of the logistics of setting that up, I’m sure there are tax documents you need in order to set up your own company or LLC, but I don’t have much experience with that!!
      A “consultant” just provides expertise, advice, and services. So depending on what you’re providing you could find a way to make it happen.

I will do some more research but for me I have been unlucky to not get into the role I wanted and mostly overqualified role. The one I want they would denied bec I dont have background in it.
