ABSTRACT
Every year hundreds or maybe thousands of IT professionals decide to give up their full-time permanent jobs and start their own IT consultancy. Many succeed in getting their consultancy business going by finding a few clients and doing some interesting and reasonably well-remunerated work. This will usually be exciting and fun. They will feel satisfied that they will have broken away from being a cog in the corporate world to doing their own thing. They may be working harder and longer hours but they will be doing this for themselves and that will bring with it a lot of satisfaction.
