How to Make More Time for Your Consulting Business with Faheem Moosa

If you're a consultant who wants to build authority, you need to do that through content creation. That involves writing and speaking. Publishing words, videos, or podcasts.

Every consultant who walks this path hits the same problem: lack of time. How do you find the time to deliver high pressure client projects, create content, and build a pipeline?

In this episode, Faheem Moosa and Alastair McDermott discuss how consultants can build a sales pipeline while you're also working on projects, understanding where your time goes, your productivity and priority management. 

They also discuss how to make and deliver a Big Promise to your clients, how to partner with them rather than be a service provider, and how to start thinking like a business owner.


“The biggest mistake consultants make is not learning sales and marketing. 

The world changes, industries change, politics change, technologies change. 

Your business has to respond, and that requires sharp marketing & sales.” -- Faheem Moosa on The Recognized Authority podcast


“It's totally up to you if you want to do everything yourself. But if you have a goal of growing your business, and you feel that it's going to take 80 hours a week to do that, then it's prudent to hire somebody to take care of the lower yielding tasks.” -- Faheem Moosa on The Recognized Authority podcast

Podcast Host & Marketing Consultant

I created the The Recognized Authority podcast to help independent consultants and experts to get more clients without being dependent on referrals.

I'm a former software engineer who has converted to "The Dark Side" becoming a business and marketing consultant. I built my first website on GeoCities in the before-time of 1996, and I've been hooked on websites ever since.

I left a safe corporate job in early 2007 to start and grow my digital marketing business during the worst recession in modern history - that was a wild ride!

Along the way I co-founded several start-ups, some of which were mildly successful, and I wrote a book called "Running a Website with WordPress: A Quick Guide for Business Owners".
