A consultant draws a parallel between martial arts and business: both are about empowerment. Three delivery models offer different kinds of power: DIY gives clients strategy to execute alone, DWY collaborates on execution, and DFY handles it all. Pick the model that matches what your client actually needs to gain.
Martial arts and good business are about empowerment. In a consulting context, you're helping solve a problem, but it's not a one-size-fits-all. The way you empower clients, the way you help clients takes different shapes depending on what the client is buying and depending on what they're expecting from that engagement. You as a service provider, you can have a DIY, do-it-yourself type of offer. You can have done with you, so DWY. You are Providing strategy and then they do the work, or it could be done for you where you're actually doing full execution. So in these 3 models of delivering a service, DIY, do it yourself, DWY, done with you, or DFY, done for you, the empowerment, the level of empowerment is different. So be aware.
