If you follow all the advises given to others, you will probably be very successful. Being a consultant is very easy. Remember the times when friends came to you with sad face and after lot of prodding told you why he is sad. You immediately tell him about the possible solutions. And surprise! One of the solutions clicks with him. Actually when we are facing some situation, we are blinded by the things around us. We are not open minded. We think only in one or two possible direction. Worse still we think only about that moment or short term. You think that there can be no solutions to your problem. But try telling the problems to a consultant or your dear friend. They will come out with the barrage of solutions.
A consultant looks at your problem objectively. He does not know any limitations that you might have. So, he is able to come up with different kinds of solutions. You have been working in your area since long and hence feel that you are the boss in that area and you probably know all the solutions. But you also tend to think only in limited mindset. The consultant does not have all these limits, or he does not know. Then while talking with him, you get different types of solutions and you discard the options that are not possible. Suddenly, you get an idea to make different solution from a combination of two or more ideas. And you get the solution to try.
This is a real life situation. When you get into some problem, for a while just think that your dear friend has come to you with the same problem and you have to suggest him some solutions. You can be a consultant to yourself. Or you can get into brainstorming activities. You can also go to any friend and without telling it is your problem, you can tell explain the problem and ask for possibilities. Just like Dear Zindagi's Alia Bhatt, who goes to Shah Rukh Khan and tells her own problem as her friend's problem.
