The Business of Expertise, David’s previous book, set the stage by suggesting a narrow focus and then capitalizing on the patterns that emerge from repeated application of your expertise. This book builds on that work by suggesting how to craft a consulting practice with those insights.

Rather than a broad philosophical treatise, this book is a very practical how-to that meets practitioners in the field. It’s a handbook on the nuts and bolts of application in the actual world of helping your clients in a sustainable way. Essentially, it’s a field manual that helps you build a $1M+ per person consulting practice.

I started reading The Business of Expertise by David C. Baker as part of my next chapter — a moment where I’m intentionally moving from being the implementer to becoming a true advisor in my field.

This book completely changed how I think about my professional value. It’s full of insights that are not just smart — they’re transformative. Every chapter helped me see more clearly what it really means to lead with expertise, not just skill.

After finishing it, I went straight to David’s next book: Secret Tradecraft of Elite Advisors — and it is even better. Together, they’ve given me the clarity and confidence to finally step up, reposition my work, and price it accordingly.

If you’ve spent years becoming excellent at what you do and now feel ready to rise above the doing — to move into your highest level of contribution and earning — this is your book.

David, your work has changed my professional life forever. You have my sincere gratitude.
