Tips and Strategies to Help You Thrive As An Independent Consultant
with Amy Rasdal
Here's the gist...
Start Consulting Quickly: Focus on landing your first project and getting paid, rather than getting bogged down by unnecessary details like websites and logos.
Networking is Crucial: Building and maintaining relationships is essential for long-term success in consulting.
Charge What You're Worth: Don’t undervalue your services; price based on market rates and your expertise, regardless of your location.
Keep Marketing: Never stop networking and marketing, even when you're busy with client work, to avoid dry spells.
Freedom and Profit: It's possible to enjoy a flexible, fulfilling lifestyle while making more money as a consultant than in a corporate job.
A lot of solos stop at ChatGPT as their AI resource. But Gemini can do things ChatGPT can't, like:
Enhanced Understanding: Gemini is designed to have a deeper understanding of language and context, allowing it to provide more comprehensive and relevant responses.
Real-time Information: Gemini can access and process real-time information from the web, ensuring that its responses are up-to-date and accurate.
Advanced Reasoning: Gemini is capable of more complex reasoning and problem-solving, allowing it to tackle more challenging questions and tasks.
Specialized Knowledge: Gemini can be trained on specific domains of knowledge, such as science, history, or programming, to provide expert-level responses.
And my favorite ❤️
Multimodal Capabilities: Gemini can handle various types of input, including text, images, and audio, making it more versatile and adaptable to different tasks.
Which means it can watch videos for me and summarize the content.
What's It About? TOON is a Dutch comedy about a loner who just wants to be left alone to play video games. Instead, he becomes internet famous, and every time he tries to stop being famous so he can have his quiet life back, he becomes even more famous.
Why Do I Like It? The comedy is a brilliant skewering of social media culture. Great writing and fun comedic acting, as well as inventive, hysterical plots.
Where to Watch: Netflix
What Else: I was lucky enough to interview the star and co-creator of this show, Joep Vermolen. And there's a true story behind the plot that is so meta you can't believe it, but you can learn about it here.
The language is Dutch. Fortunately, they took a lot of care with the subtitles.
