  1. What a great podcast! Glad I came across this site. I am trying to get into the IT consulting field, so Kinney’s nuggets of information are fantastic. Thanks!

  2. Loved this talk, thanks so much to both of you.

    A huge take-away for me was when Diane talked about not sinking yourself so deeply into one project that you stop developing your business. Also, I’ve always been resistant to tracking my time, but I feel more encouraged to do so in the way you outlined such as referring back to a google spreadsheet, estimated work breakdown vs. actual times spent.

    Offering “strategy projects” rather than “discovery,” consider how “available” I want to appear, noting clients personality and number of decision makers, leaving room for unexpected incidental tasks, so many useful tips here. I really enjoyed this talk, very helpful, thanks again.

  3. Thank you. Spot on.

    I’ve been heads down for a couple of years with three customers. They make up 80% of my business. It still feels like I’m at risk even though it is really 3/.80. Does that feeling ever go away?
