The Courage of Ditching Hourly Billing
Courage guru Ryan Berman had me on The Courageous Podcast to talk about:
- the insanity of trading time for money
- the three things that every soloist needs to focus on
- the best/worst advice I ever got
Here is Ryan’s episode description:
If you are like the majority, then you have an hourly rate. This severely bothered this weeks guest who couldn’t logically accept “hourly rate" payment terms for his talent. In fact, if Jonathan Stark was capable of cracking your problem in a shorter period of time, shouldn’t he be paid more? On this episode of The Courageous Podcast we are joined by a former software developer who is now on a mission to rid the world of hourly billing. Jonathan is the author of Hourly Billing Is Nuts, the host of Ditching Hourly, and writes a daily newsletter on pricing for independent professionals. If you’re like me (and Jonathan) and believe that the laziest, lowest measurement of our worth is a measurement of time, then this is the episode for you.
PLMK if you have any questions :)
Yours,
