Asking questions is a major part of one's life, and how to gain knowledge and information, so that the right decisions are made. I've been asking questions for 6 decades, so it's too late to change now...LOL!!
A former client called me Monday asking if I would do some consulting work for him on a contract basis, and said.."how much per hour would you charge and how many hours per day can you dedicate to this task." I said, "well, what do you feel the task is worth and how many hours per week do you think it will take?" You see, I was ready to state $100/hour and 15 hours per week for 4 weeks. His answer to MY question, "I think $150 per hour and 20 hours per week for 6 weeks is fair." "Sounds good to me."
It pays to ask questions....
