The thing that most consulting shops just can't get their head around is #5. Less work = less money. This is, in fact, true - if viewed as an isolated incident. But any consulting shop worth its weight sees the long view. If you're locked in with clients that are doing well - there will always be more work. Self-obsolescence boosts your credibility, makes your client happier and also leaves you with far more interesting work. Excellent post Chris.
