I've never done this and If you have never done it either maybe subcontracting for a larger consultancy firm might be a good place to start. Will get you in the right neighbourhood so to speak and get you talking to the right people and should be significantly easier providing you're good at what you do.

Keep in mind that if you work for a consulting shop, you will probably sign a non-compete so you won't be able to work for the same clients on your own.

Interesting answer Phil. When you say larger consultancy firms do you mean firms similar to the size of Accenture?

Accenture is on the much larger end. I'd probably suggest if you're interested in pursuing a career on your own that you find a smaller boutique consultancy. You'll be closer to deals and have more insight in to how business is generated.
