I enjoy consulting a lot but I have to admit it’s an ambition deflator. Since it’s the easiest money around, if it’s working well enough to cover basic expenses, it drains motivation to do anything requiring building or longer-term planning.

Also I’m fundamentally more gardener than builder when it comes to doing more ambitious things longer term. Grow over build. But growing requires about 10x more initial intelligence (soil+seed) than building (land+bricks-and-mortar)

What if you solve a difficult problem very quickly, with an original (not recycled) solution, saving the client a bundle.
How do you bill for that?
(I know you've referred to this question before.)

Treat it as good karma that will come back to you. No different from employees who make big inventions or sales ideas.
