I believe you were a professional consultant. Being a professional consultant is the problem. Preconceived notions don’t always play out. But professional consultants get paid for their preconceived ideas. So the preconceived ideas can never be wrong, to them it must always be a problem with the execution.
So don’t be surprised when I take your advice with a grain of salt.
You stepped into my trap - my opinion was the opposite of the “DC consultants” - almost 180 degrees. You’ve bought into way more of the bullsh-t conventional wisdom of the DC consultants than I ever have in my life.
Can I send you a copy of my Amazon best seller - about the problems with the “consultant class.” I was a consultant, but I am NOT in THE CLUB...the DC club. My cred is tea party, talk radio, columns, interviews....
