How much is your time worth?

6 replies
This is something I try to keep in mind whenever I start working. This will change over time (hopefully go up), but how much is your time worth to you? And even more importantly, is what you're doing when you're 'working' actually getting you that figure?

How have you moved from not making that to finally breaking through? (for example, going from writing $7 articles to writing your own articles for CPA offers). Just try writing down your worth per hour and sticking it on your computer; you'll find yourself drifting off a lot less.

    Depends if we are talking Saturday or Sunday mornings or any other time.

    Weekend mornings i would price myself at less than $1 per hour unless you supplied some aspirins

    There are days when my work does not worth anything but I still do not called them waste because I find out that not all techniques works.

    Great post to ponder on. I recently read a book that said people are limited by the amount of worth they put on themselves. If you think you're only worth $7 an hour, then you will constantly be working for minimum wage or less without even consciously trying to.

    So I picked $100+ per hour...
    Because the work I put in is suppose to lead to continuous sales. Was a great reminder to me too to stay on track and act like I really am working for that much. I'll stick this tip next to my computer, thanks!

    hmmm...

    none of these categories work for me.

    If I choose 100 per hour i will still feel guilty. Everyday I look where I am and where I wanted to be until I cross that border once I did, I make a new goal to achieve a higher sale.

    I believe if I make 100 per hour my goal will be 200 per hour and so on. So, i guess it is tough to call numbers lol

    There are 3 ways to use time :

    1) Waste it - doing something for hours and nothing achieved ie. playing computer games (oops, no offense to gamers; I do play like an-hour game in a year for clearing the boggy)

    2) Spent it - ie. sleep; you gotta rest, can't work 24/7.

    3) Invest it - ie. learn something new, gain new knowledge, develop WP, do some IM ... where there are returnssss.
