I’ve consulted and freelanced in various forms over the eons, but the past year has been 100% consulting, and it turns out I’m probably not a good consultant because I enjoy it too much. I promise this is not the job interview answer where your major flaw is that you’re a perfectionist. Really successful consultants parcel out their time and effort with great precision and parsimony. They do not talk for long, for free, about anything. I’m sure many consultants do enjoy their work, but they don’t let that get in the way of business. The value of scarcity and all that.
