Nice Consultants and Coaches vs. Good Ones

Consulting Matters

If you really want to make money and a difference as a consultant or coach, you can't get there by being nice. You have to be good.

The bad client/clueless boss trap

Seth Godin Blog

“I’m doing this meaningless/damaging/banal work because that’s what the client wants.” There are many variations of this. The plastic surgeon who does hideous work on the faces of people who demand it. The marketer who’s still trying to get teens hooked on smoking. The teacher who blames the curriculum for the boring classroom experience because that’s what the state mandated… It’s a trap, like all traps, because there’s a lot of truth to it.
