I’m genuinely impressed by people who find a limited but evergreen schtick that works, hit a lucrative cruising altitude with it, and then stick with it for decades. It’s like they’ve found their inner Vanna White. I’d like that. Seems kinda relaxing.

Being accused of "coasting" is a compliment when you've busted your hump for 20 years to optimize your gig.

The compliment is on finding a gig that can be optimized that way at all and on choosing to actually do so

That schtik by definition will be non-obvious, probably hard to make money in the first few years and then you’d need to keep it to yourself for a while. The closest/most frequent I’ve seen are careers that revolve around a single relationship.

I have a suspicion that i might be in the early stages of this.
Being right means I would need to systematize it further, and get (much) better at sales so I can sell it at higher rates to larger clients

As you’ve written, maybe ok if it’s a deep (the deepest) valley to get stuck in. Also, not totally relaxing:
