Microsoft Partners: Want To Start Your Own Business?

Why the blog is of interest:

The blogging wave isn’t limited to Microsoft staffers alone. Long-time Microsoft partners are getting into the act, too. Greg Brill, founder and CEO of Infusion, just so happens to be a particularly prolific blogger. In “Greg’s Weblog,” he delivers a partner’s perspective on issues ranging from management leadership to Windows technologies such as SharePoint and SQL Server Management Studio.

Greg also answers questions from readers, giving tips culled from his years of experience with different types of consulting gigs, including per project fixed price; POC (proof of concept) projects with Microsoft; on-site mentoring; and contracts with Microsoft for ADRS (Architectural Design Review Sessions) seminars.

In one especially memorable blog entry, Greg provides advice to a young consultant who's pondering the prospect of starting his own business.

“The thing you have to be honest about, when bringing on another employee into a services company, is whether or not you legitimately have something to offer them relative to other opportunities they can pursue,” he writes.

“And this goes to the heart of what kind of company you want to be. As a services company, you need to make a choice up front: you are going to go commodity or high-end. You cannot do both. Choose now."
