Publisher's summary

The Business of Expertise, David’s previous book, set the stage by suggesting a narrow focus and then capitalizing on the patterns that emerge from repeated application of your expertise. This book builds on that work by suggesting how to craft a consulting practice with those insights.

Rather than a broad philosophical treatise, this book is a very practical how-to that meets practitioners in the field. It’s a handbook on the nuts and bolts of application in the actual world of helping your clients in a sustainable way. Essentially, it’s a field manual that helps you build a $1M+ per person consulting practice.

Great wisdom and practical advice

David is a straight shooter and shares his wisdom from decades of experience. I’m inspired to make changes to be more efficient and “unignorable.”

Shhhhhh

This book inspires me to be a better consultant. The author says you won’t want to recommend it to your competitors. He’s right.

It’s a joy to read a book by a good writer who is passionate about the topic.

Help yourself, help those you advise.

This is a fantastic read for anyone who does advisory work vocationally. I will absolutely be reviewing my notes before embarking on a second listen.
Mr. Baker’s direct and to the point composition coupled with his examples from decades of experience makes for a read well worth the time investment with minimal fluff and/or wasted words.

David is a real thought leader

David’s precision of knowing exactly what you’re going through…

In all his works, David proves his expertise by knowing exactly what you’re going through with nearly concerning levels of accuracy. This books Is no different. By discovering him through podcasts, then one book, now this next one, who better to walk you through the land of consulting as a tradecraft then a man who remains a pioneer in our field? This was an enjoyable few hours full of specific, actionable insights. This will be utilized as a handbook I re-open over and over again.

A lighter, but deep dive into the art of expertise.

Have always appreciated David’s unique point of view. But sometimes, it hard to hear or apply directly. This season and story was lighter. Easier to hear. And always applicable in many ways. Highly recommended read.
