Why does that make you mad?

I'm not saying it "shouldn't" make you mad, instead I'm saying that the fact that you get mad about is a clue.

Someone else might not care that there are lazy people in the world who work as little as possible. Someone else might say, "the sky is blue, death happens, ice is cold, some people are lazy". They'd just accept it. But you care. This is a clue.

Why would you love to help people make more money in their business? Again, not a trick question. Someone else might not care if other people made money. But you care. Again, this is a clue.

By whom? If I hired a consultant, and they made me a lot of money, would I not think of him highly?

Or are you saying you don't think consulting is a high-status profession? Perhaps you don't want to go to a party and say, "hi, I'm a consultant"? Perhaps you'd like to be able to say something else?

How about selling something for a company that IS doing a good job at providing a service for their customers?
