I'm in the process of starting my own business after a lucrative but unfulfilling executive career. My husband--who has been a successful commercial contractor for many years--explained this to me this way: a) there are only a certain number of hours you can or are willing to work so you want to b) set up a business with parts that are profitable for the least amount of time. c) once you charge by the hour and let people *know* what you're charging per hour that gives the customer the ability to price shop. so d) wherever possible you want to give a global price for the valuable product or service you have to offer--it's not anyone's business how many hours you've spent on it. e) In an ideal business (most profitable) world you would be selling only product with no hours or labor attached to it and f) employees are the bane of every business owner's existence and should be avoided whenever possible in a small business setting. I'm glad I decided to follow you on Twitter. Cynthia P.S. I'm @quinceandquilt on Twitter. This is a very important concept that is not well understood.

I thought I understood the basis of "value", until just now. Just had a business epiphany. Thanks for sharing and "correcting" my perception. :) Chris Bernadette -
