"I haven\'t seen this kind of aggressive growth in almost 5 years," says Cam Forbes.
He is referring to the expansion of small business consulting in 2005 and 2006.
Forbes started a consulting business in 1999 and has been coaching small business
owners, consultants and sales people in starting their own businesses. He relates,
"It\'s not too late to start a consulting business. Now is the time to get started,
if you haven\'t already."

Cam Forbes, founder and Managing Partner of Opus One Ventures
(http://www.opusoneventures.com) has been speaking, training and coaching business
owners, entrepreneurs, and sales people around the world. Now the consulting
industry expert - whose website (http://www.consultingstartupkit.com). has attracted
attention from media outlets such as Robb Report, Business.com and Fortune - is
observing "the kind of growth we haven\'t seen since the late 90\'s."

He\'s talking about growth in the consulting industry. High fuel costs and raw
material price increases are putting tremendous pressure on businesses to improve
their bottom line. This is leading to a reduction in capital spending and
recruiting. The void left in the workplace is being filled by industry experts and
consultants who have niche experience to execute strategic projects for these
organizations.

Forbes says "Although there has been limited growth over the last year, the
sustained growth within the consulting sector over the past two and a half years has
provided further evidence of the value consultants add, and the positive effect they
are making on their clients\' business, both in terms of improved productivity and
increased revenues."

"Unfortunately too many people believe they have nothing to offer these businesses"
explains Forbes. "The exact opposite is true. Individuals should analyze their skill
set to determine if a move to consulting is right for them - many times it is. And
with more capital flowing into the already $52 billion marketplace there is no
better time to get started than right now."
