Bette Frick says that you should treat your one person consulting practice as if it were a big company. Present a variety of services, have people that you can vend stuff to, incorporate (I know a big headache, but people take you more seriously as a corp. than as a sole-proprietorship.)

I also read these:

George asks:
I need to learn more about the business/marketing side of being a
consultant. Can anyone recommend any good books to get started?
Professional organizations for grant writers or freelance writers? Web
based tools to help one manage one's business? Any other suggestions?
