If you currently have a full-time day job and are moonlighting as an IT consultant, you might be wondering how you can move into a job as a full-time IT consultant.  Think about the following rules and help yourself avoid the common issues that prevent IT consultants from transitioning into full-time, self-employed consulting.  

The First Rule:  No Assumptions

Many IT consultants that moonlight initially are so excited and taken by the idea that they can be self employed that they don’t plan appropriately.  Start off right by having no assumptions about what will and will not happen.  

The Second Rule:  Plan in Advance

Many moonlighting IT consultants want badly to become full-time consultants, but a lot of them will not make it because they do not plan ahead for the transition.  They hope it will happen, but they do not think about how and when the transition will happen.  

The Bottom Line

As a moonlighting IT consultant hoping to transition into full-time consulting, you need to plan ahead.  Don’t get stuck taking huge risks that make no sense or hiding because the task gets too overwhelming.
