How Much Do You Respect Your Time?

1 replies
I was just reading a post by Perry Marshall:

How much do people respect your time?

And it got me to thinking about how much time I just give away to others, sometimes (often?) to the detriment of what I should be doing.

Knowing is not always doing, and I'm curious how many others find themselves giving away their time/knowledge/etc. to the point it interferes with our own success.

Being aware of a problem is part of the solution, so I, for one, will be watching my time more closely from now on!

    I'm guilty of this. There are a few individuals over the years with whom I've been way too accommodating when it comes to dispensing free advice and help. In two cases, they came to expect it, then resented me when I had to remind them that this is my livelihood, I run a business where I charge for these services.
    It can be a difficult balancing act for people starting out by offering services to a local market. You need to get the work so you tend to undercut and offer people great deals, but it can quickly become the norm and difficult to break out of.
