Pricing your work

More demanding is easy to fix...the more they demand, the higher the rate.  ;)

i sell lumber to some of the richest folks that are around and they seem elated that i have time to talk to them. very nice people.
i also have sawn for some of the most dirt poor folks you ever wanted to see and can hardly stand to be around them because of their attitude.

on the other side of that coin, i also know some of the rich people lud is talking about too. ;D

Well now, I just sold $10,000 to 2 different folks with money in Pa.  I was able to supply what they wanted and sent checks out that day.  Got last one today.  It is just fence wood that I have to end trim for one.  Medium grade that was just setting around.  The other was 22 logs peeled for a pergola.  Put my price on them.  They even overnighted the check. Probably afraid I would back out.

Why did Willie Sutton rob banks?  Cause thats where the money is!  When people ask if I will sell to individuals, I tell them only if they have money.

I know Forest Lucas of Lucas Oil fame. In fact I knew him when he didn't have enough money to buy some cheap cedar posts to fence his horses in.  He is still a nice guy.

I like to think I control my destiny by my actions.
