Never, ever sell your time

Never, ever sell your time

The??management consulting business has always been a human trafficking business: I will give you??x consultants x??number of days x daily rate.

It’s a prostitution of the idea of human collaboration, let alone human partnership.??

Never sell your time. You will always regret it. And you will never have more than??365 days x body to sell.

But if the only thing you can sell is your time, then I can suggest babysitting,??psychoanalysis or plumbing. They charge by the hour. You don't have to.

The value of an artwork has nothing to do with the number of hours that took painting it,?or the number of?pots of paint used, or the number of pages of the book produced.

I have no idea why management consulting (or lawyers?) get away with a clocking system. It's the most ridiculous idea there is in the 'knowledge management business', and a degradation of the concept of value itself .

My time is not for sale. Nobody could afford it. I will put a value, monetary and not, to my collaboration, and you are very welcome to take it or not. But if you ask me to break it down (how much does the head cost vs the legs, and the body, and the birds in the background - can we have 3 birds only, to cut costs? - I will happily give you the telephone number of my competitors.
