Mixergy Interview: How to build a consulting company from the ground up

Today I talked with Andrew Warner at Mixergy about how I was able to build a solid consulting company from middle-of-nowhere Japan, and a lot of the problems that I faced while doing that (besides the obvious).

It was great talking to Andrew, and he was able to draw out a lot of aspects of the business that I don’t usually end up sharing on interviews.

The main points we touch on:

  • Dealing with burnout (and my Netflix addiction)
  • How to start with that first client
  • The problems with payroll and growing too fast
  • Building a business through referrals
