Who’s Time Is It Anyway?
In the world of business, its: What is your time worth?
 

Well my time has value just like your time has value, so why must you complain when you get the bill?

Don’t you think when someone spends your time that you should be paid for that time?

The answer to the question is yes you should be paid. Because your time and the information that you give is valuable.

For instance:
You have assembled a team to work on a project; and all of the sudden your phone rings and rings and rings. You answer it and its some Yoo that has some obscure question that has nothing to do with your business but he thinks that you have the answer to his question. So you are courteous and answer the question in a couple of minutes and move on.

Than the Yoo calls back! Again and Again having you walk them right through a problem, and they are not even a client, and you have just spent 90 minutes on the phone with them!!!

Who pays for that time that has been essentially wasted? Sorry folks That Great "Thank You" Doesn’t Cut It Any More! Some one is going to pay for that time and it’s not going to be me!

If you are a full client a little leeway can be afforded, but don’t push your luck!

When you call your attorney you are being billed $300.00 per hour from the minute he picks up the phone, be glad that he’s out a lot!

So the bottom line is, if you and the information that you possess have no value, than you can give your time away with no problem! But if you have years of experience and you do not even have the time to do your work, NOW! When someone who takes your time should pay for your time.
