I found Bruce Judson’s book, “Go It Alone!” very useful when planning my own career change.
The entire book is online for ‘free‘ at Bruce’s site and worth spending the time to go through relevant chapters and take a few notes.
Two chapters stick out in my mind:
Chp. 8 – Managing Extreme Outsourcing.
Chp. 11- When To Quit Your Day Job.
Effective outsourcing is even more attractive to me now that I am contracting for the next 6 months.
What did you get out of this book?

There must be something in the air tonight.
Not only has Ellesse Chow published her interview of me – thanks, Ellesse, I take back everything I ever said about “bean counters”.
But I also recently received Al Secunda’s kind agreement to be interviewed by yours truly. (He’s a brave man, as it’s my first time to be an interviewer.)
Ellesse runs a great personal development site – just click for the mid-life transition interview.
And the fact that her site’s called ‘goal-setting-college‘ is another gold medal in my book.

PS – The interview was done before Xmas (she’s a busy woman!) and at that time my IT consulting gig was not even vapourware.
