A reader wrote, "I wish I'd known how to make money while I wasn't working, ie: I'm a graphic designer and only get paid when I'm physically working and it's based on MY TIME. I wish I'd known to base it on value vs. time."
Sit up and take note. This is an incredibly important concept for those of you providing services vs. products. It's a lesson I didn't learn as early as I should have. Because of it, I was on the treadmill for a long time, working a lot but not producing as much income as I could, or should, have.
Believe it or not, it was a freelance job I wasn't very interested in that taught me to consider value as well as time. I was contacted by someone looking for an editor to hire on a retainer basis. The work didn't excite me but I was early in my at-home career and I wasn't comfortable passing on the job. So I bid high. And got it. Now, I'm extremely glad I did as this account as become my bread and butter. I'm paid on a regular basis and the steady income has helped with the ups and downs of the speaking portion of my business.
