Set an Aspirational Hourly Rate
No one is going to value you more than you value yourself. Set a high personal hourly rate, and stick to it.
Say you value your time at $100 an hour. If you decide to spend an hour driving across town to get something, you’re effectively throwing away $100. if you want to get rich, it has to be your top priority. It has to come before anything else, which means you can’t penny-pinch.
If you can outsource something for less than your hourly rate, outsource it or don’t do it. Your hourly rate should seem and feel absurdly high. If it doesn’t, it’s not high enough.
