No matter how much you might like your business
consultant, there’s a good chance that you don’t want
to have to have them on your payroll indefinitely.

So when you are hiring a new business consultant, that
is something that you will want to keep in mind. You
will want to hire a person that will help you, or your
company, help itself.

When you conduct interviews, let your prospective
consultant know that you would like your company to
become self sufficient.

Find out what kinds of training that the person can
provide for you and your employees. If you are up
front about your expectations and what you are looking
to get out of your business relationship, then neither
of you will go into the the agreement with false
expectations.

If your goal is to help your company to become self
sufficient, be aware that there will be consultants
who will not want to do this. After all, if your
company becomes self sufficient, it will mean that
their services are no longer required.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both, of
course. If you keep your consultant on without
learning things yourself you know that they are always
there to answer any questions you have.

On the other hand, if you or your company becomes self
sufficient you will have tools that you can use in the
future, and you will save money in the long run. Only
you can decide what is the best decision for you.
