In my book, Tipping the Pivots to an Empowered life, I discuss in detail how an empowered person develops. The path normally moves from Dependence, Competence, Interdependence and finally to the Empowered stage.

Many people brought up to believe that mastery of a craft or skill is the be all and end all. However, if you have been mastering a skill, sooner or later you will be in the position to create value for others.

My mentor told me back when I was a young and inexperienced trainer, give so many free talks that people start buying you coffee. Then they will buy you lunch before your talk. Soon, they will buy you dinner on a different day for your contribution. Finally, they start giving you tokens of appreciations. Eventually, people will start paying you for your time and as your time become scarce, you start to charge more. Eventually, you will command significant speaking fees for keynote addresses.

I was blessed to receive that piece of advice so young in my life, and because of that, I was able to build a strong base and competency and clients. I was able to demonstrate and create value directly due to my experience and expertise. It wasn't about projections and possibility, it was direct Value creation.

A new set of challenges started to surface. As the old saying goes, another level another devil. I was in a position where I was able to choose my clients. I had to manage those 8 hours a day, from allocating lunch time, content creation, client management, prospect nurturing and upselling to existing clients. How should I craft my client portfolio? Should I have a single client who pays me $100,000 or 100 clients who pay me $1000 each? Which direction should I focus my attention towards?

Although it is much more efficient as a business to manage only one client account of $100,000. The consultant will not be in a position of walking away from the arrangement as his entire business depends on this single account. The consultant is too sensitive to the relationship with the client and might not be completely objective in his advice or work. He might stress is vendors the wrong way or push his team to do task out of scope. Without posture with your clients, you will not be effective when you consult with them.

If we are not in a position to walk away from the negotiation table, we shouldn't even walk towards that table. Perhaps, sit on a stool at the side and watch and learn. The deal is not with a bad client or a devil, the deal itself is the devil. You have over committed, or under resourced a scope of work with a large client. It is not the client's fault that they have larger requirements, is was how you agreed with the deal that made the deal itself into the devil.

As a responsible business owner and employer, manage your clients blend so that you do not maneuver your team into a ransom position with your key client. Remember, always do business from a strong position, not necessarily a high position. As many high positions are largely inflated.

Do not be held hostage by your clients, be confident in your ability to find clients who appreciate your Value creation. Always ask yourself this question, "Can I afford to lose this client once they pay me?" if the answer is no, you are not ready for that client. Build your foundations organically and you will be at the right table every time.

Do share this article with your business development friends and associates if you notice that they are making fast deals and quick spins for an even quicker buck. It's a sign of urgency to upkeep a business structure which might be inorganically large. One cannot make win, win, win deals if one party needs to win more than the others.
