About this episode
Tyler discusses the importance of valuing your time and charging for planning instead of giving away work for free.
Tyler breaks down the line between being helpful and giving away work you should be paid for. This one is about protecting your time, charging for the planning, and stopping the habit of solving the hardest part of the job for free.
