In this brief motivational segment, the speaker addresses founders, service providers, and consultants, emphasizing that real‑world exposure—being out in the field, observing and practicing alongside others—is essential for developing consulting skills.

The speaker frames consulting fundamentally as helping clients solve problems, suggesting that once competence is built, the work becomes enjoyable and rewarding.

And then after a while, when you become better at it, you enjoy it because at the end of the day, as a consultant, what is it that you're doing? You'll be helping someone solve a problem.
