Stop Thinking About Hours When it Comes to Money

I saw a post the other day from a small business owner who was annoyed about the cost of getting a website created. “Why should I pay thousands of dollars for something I know is pretty simple to do? Can’t I pay someone an hourly rate to do this for me? I know it doesn’t […]
