This is true. My former side gig hired a few people to replace me when I stopped doing it due to lack of interest and time. These people eventually completed a project in approximately two months that would’ve taken me 4-5 hours of a single night.
My fee is $200 an hour so my charge for the project would’ve been $1,000. I estimate my replacements spent 80 hours real work time on the project overall. Let’s say the three people who worked on that project were charging $100 an hour. Pretty cheap in my field, by the way. That’s $8,000 there for their labor. And I am probably underestimating.
Even though I charge twice as much, I would’ve saved my former side gig approximately $7,000 and two months of wasted time.
Experts only look expensive if you don’t know a damn thing.
