One thing I hate to see is that people feel like they have to charge by the hour for their services…and its pretty simple, it isn’t ethical for the business owner and its a poor deal for the client.
Here’s why…
If you are a consultant that is being brought in for a specific problem, you should be trying to solve that problem as quickly as possible. If you are charging by the hour, you don’t have an incentive to do that…in fact, you have the opposite incentive.
