It is hard not to focus on the bottom line. If you are a sole practitioner, a consultant, a coach, small business person, or entrepreneur, it can be really stressful when the only boss who can give you a raise is you, and as your own chief financial officer, you have to tell yourself, “No, the business just can’t afford it.”

The reason blogs and websites directed toward business people, consultants, entrepreneurs, and coaches, are using the phrase obvious expert as part of their vernacular is because it is one of, if not the, best descriptor ever conceived for conveying what it takes to be the top of the mind, go-to, specialist in your field.
