This business course from The Teaching Company and lecturer Dr. Allison Friederichs delivers all this and more.

There are no company perks because you work for yourself. You have to commit to your work. It is like a marriage.
Think about what is your area of expertise in order to start a consulting firm
You need to define a niche, what do you have experience being successful at? What do you love to do?
What does the market tell you. What challenges do others have that you can help them solve? What can you offer your clients that nobody else can.?Find a field, seek resources in library.
Personal trainers , life coaches,
You need goals, if not your don't have a road map.
