> Also, some SaaS/product success stories take the path of CONSULTING/AGENCY -> PRODUCT -> SUCCESS (e.g. Basecamp, SEOmoz, FreshBooks) but you rarely hear of the reverse.

There are a lot of people (i.e. @levelsio) who launch a career as a speaker out of products, I imagine part of that is consulting

Wait what? I (@levelsio) am not doing that. I've made €2000 out of speaking total and only spoke 3 times. I don't consult.

My revenue doesn't come from speaking, it comes from product. I don't like those people who do that at all because how can you trust people that only speak but not make product?

I speak if I want to spread a message (although blogging is way more efficient).

I have to agree with this. A lot of people create products to augment their consulting services.
