Valuing Your Time


There are always endless opportunities for networking, investing in businesses and becoming part of new businesses being launchedĀ or simply helping out others. So where do you give of your time, attention and energy?

I have a simple formula for deciding what to do.

Decide how many hours a day you are prepared to devote to work. Then decide how many days in the year you are prepared to work. So now you know the total number of hours a year you are prepared to work.

Next find you exactly how much you made in the last three years and calculateĀ the average of these figures. Then decide how much you can realistically make in the given year.

Now calculate how much you have made on an average per hour in the past and how much you need to make per hour this year. Straight away delete all invitations that don’t promise to give you this much value. Read more of this post

During my 3 year freelance tenure, I created websites, wrote for different blogs, contributed to technology newsletters, took up development projects from elance, WordPress gigs, small PHP sites.

If you have never been a full blown freelancer, here are a few things you should know:
