They’re experts, they know how to apply the principles to different companies and different people, and they can make sure you don’t make any costly mistakes. What we get from that expense isn’t tangible. It’s better to hire a consultant. In fact, the expertise of consultants is going to make you money. Good luck to all.

Or which company made it. Companies market their brands, freelancers market themselves, during elections the Government markets the common man and a few states even market their weather. Words are everywhere. All these words are there for a reason. They’re trying to reach us in some way, to give us a message. Or how great it is.

By taking the time to write down exactly what you want to accomplish, you’re much more likely to get a good product and avoid expensive rework because of miscommunications.

One on one consulting, seminars, meet ups are difficult to copy and expensive to hold. The first ebook is expensive to produce but that is a fixed cost, not marginal cost. At first it was expensive and there was little interest in it. And yet these companies de-commoditized themselves and make sooooooooo much money doing it.

My advice to jobseekers in general: Research the company and then present yourself as the *missing* member of the team! Most companies ask for a wish list but will look beyond that for a candidate they think is suitable. Flip the coin and look at what the company ISN’T about. David´s last blog.

It was free because it was idle; it wasn’t supposed to be the sort of business expertise that many companies would shell out good money for in the form of a consultant.
