The other day, I encountered the usual ‘What’s your time worth’ argument. You know the one. You don’t build wealth by penny-pinching. Because your time is more valuable than you think. Instead, what you are supposed to do is -Decide the value of an hour of your time. -Outsource any task that will cost less […]
