actually redsy it does.

i don't care if you charge flat rate, T&M or barter in wampum.

What else is this about? You don't know your costs, you look for ways to make up your shortfall.

but as I also said, a crook is a crook. By my statement "ethically and legally" i was actually referencing made up overcharges. If my financials show that I need to charge $1000/hr legitimately, then I am not overcharging. But if they show that I need $50/hr, but I charge $1000, then you get into a legal arena.

But Redsy, it will always come back to this. For the simple fact my friend, everything in any business comes back to this. It's the basis for everything and anything we do on a daily basis. Doesn't matter how you charge, just know how much and why.

Now, my question to you is this - What do you have against trying to teach contractors about running a better company and making a better life for their family?

Why are you so against guys charging what they are truly worth so that they don't have work 60 hrs a week and pinch pennies to get by?

Thats what I don't understand.
