“I can do that better than him!”

“I know more than her!”

“I’m smarter than them!”

No one cares.

Being good at promoting yourself is part of the deal of becoming a successful consultant.

I’d suspect there’s a strong correlation between understanding the nuances of client attraction and actually doing the work well.

Learn from people with a bigger audience than you, then figure out how to evolve/adapt into areas they don’t go.
