A quick thought for anyone working with freelancers or service providers

The value of a project isn’t measured by how long it takes. It’s measured by the quality, experience, and outcome you get.

Sometimes a task that takes a beginner a week can take a professional a day. That doesn’t mean the professional should earn less. It actually means you’re benefiting from their years of learning, testing, and improving.

For example:
• A designer might create a great logo in 3 hours, while someone else could take 3 days
• A developer might build a full landing page in one afternoon because they’ve built hundreds before
• A photographer might take 20 minutes to get the perfect shot, but that moment represents years of mastering their craft

Speed is a result of skill, not a reason to reduce value.

When you hire someone who delivers fast, you’re not paying for the minutes. You’re paying for the expertise that makes the final result better and the process smoother.

Efficiency is a feature, not a discount.
