Your time is worth 3 times if not more then what you think it is right now. To determine this come up with an income goal of what you want to achieve for the year and calculate what your hourly wage must be to achieve your income goal for the present year. If it is 5 figures a week like mine was then your time is worth a few hundred dollars per hour. Does that seem like time you should be wasting? I know now that I am earning a realistic 5 figures a week that my time is worth almost a thousand dollars an hour! I do not like wasting my time and you should not either.
