Given what we’re trying to figure out and plan for here at Portigal Consulting (essentially growth in all the ways one might define that), I enjoyed listening to two brief podcasts about starting and growing (design) consulting firms, one with Chris Fahey and another with Myk Lum. Both are in the category of here’s what I did which is very different than here’s what you should do. That’s not a criticism, of course. Anyone who is has been in similar situations will hear a number of head-nodding-in-recognition moments, and maybe find a few ideas for things to try.

Thanks, Steve… I think Christina did a great job pulling the stories out of me. I agree that “what I did” is far more useful — and trustworthy — than “what you should do” advice, especially in business. Almost all “what you should do” advice is from people who didn’t actually do what they advise.
