Do You Need to Be Better at Technical or People Skills?

To be a great computer consultant, you just need to be really well organized and be a friendly person that enjoys helping other people. Yes, you need to be extremely resourceful; but you dont need to be a technical genius to be a computer consultant.

In a lot of ways, being a technical genius can hold you back. Computer Consulting is very much a people business. But even if you have great tech skills and youre a little shy when it comes to things like working the room, you can get better at it.

Do You Have the Right Skills?

Its just not that important to the typical non-technical small business owner or non-technical small business manager.
