>> patio11 gave advice on consulting which, as a long time consultant -- rather successfully (but still not enough to start doling wisdom) -- I found completely at odds with the reality I've endured, but it's a big world so maybe I just fly in different circles.
Just a thought, informed only by your comments here: your attitude is probably limiting your success. Nobody likes negativity, or working with negative people.
More concretely, successful consultants sell possibility: an organization can be stronger, faster, better, more successful than their goals if only they hire me as a consultant. Your attitude screams the opposite.
Just my unbiased feedback (I've never met Patrick and don't have a dog in this fight).
