You're right. :). Just goes to show that it's been a while since my marketing class. Thanks for the correction.

The Take Back Your Brain blog - and I am sure you know of it - lists FOUR Ps, the fourth being "promotion." Does that rank differently with you, or perhaps separately?

Tim, Thanks for your words of support.

I'm grateful that you're taking the time to post your thoughts and experiences.

How true it is about the "jack of all trades, master of none". When someone wants to shell out the cash for a consultant, it's because they really want something to be done right - guaranteed. Truth be told, most anyone with ambition can put their mind to something, learn it, and become reasonably competent in a short period of time. But since you become good at that which you spend time doing, and you tend to do more of that which you enjoy, you blunt your effectiveness by seeking to master everything (not to say that you still shouldn't strive for a degree of competence in all areas).

I'm passionate about automating things in such a way that it makes people's lives easier and helps them get their job done effectively. I passionately hate poorly-written software, and therefore am passionate about writing high quality, stable software. So, I made that my focus (I named my business "Foundational Software"). High quality software isn't for everyone, sometimes a quick throw-away app is right answer for the job. The beauty of capitalism is we all get to decide what we offer, and what we purchase, and through it all we get an intersection of opportunity for almost all offered services.

You're a stud and I'm looking forward posts to document your journey.
