At its core, consulting is all about helping your clients find solutions to their problems. However, for many consultants, they’re offering generalized advice that may or may not be adding value to the business. At its worst, this practice can wind up wasting time and money. At best, it only gets the client part of the way to where they want to be. 

On today’s episode of the 6 to 7 Figures Podcast, I’m talking with Corey Rome, consultant extraordinaire. Like me, Carey started his consulting firm a while back, so he’s been in this industry for a long time. However, he really got into the execution side of things and then brought the advisory piece in later. Most consultants start the other way, but no matter how they get into it, the primary goal should be problem-solving. 

Over the years, Carey has grown his firm and brought on some big clients, so I wanted to pick his brain to find out what has made him so successful. Fortunately, experience breeds wisdom, so Carey has a wealth of information for consultants, both new to the industry and veterans alike. 

Favorite Quote: "Success is getting what you want. Fulfillment is giving what you've got." 

Carey is a recovering CPA who somehow can manage both left and right brain activities. Admittedly, right brain activities are where Carey thrives. 

An admirer of smart ideas, Carey is an avid (or maybe addicted) Podcast and audio book listener. So, if you see him with earbuds in, he’s not being rude, he’s trying to figure out how to better your business.
