That's fantastic! Good job executing and congratulations on the success! It's well deserved.
Thanks for being so open with the numbers. That same openness is what got me to start over a year ago. Glad I could serve as an inspiration as well.
For those making revenue/hours comparisons: Yes, a book will often make less money then consulting in the short term.
If you always focus on the next week or month then you won't be able to move beyond those consulting numbers.
Real success requires long-term thinking. Pete has started something that—at a minimum—will allow him to significantly increase a consulting rate. But more likely he can turn the beginnings of his list and book into screencasts, speaking engagements, more books, etc.
High quality instruction is always in demand. Given enough time and work you can make $250k+ a year doing it.
