Takeaways:
There are different ways to get paid for services, including hourly rates, value-based billing, and success-based fees.
Value-based billing is when the price is determined by the perceived value of the service, regardless of the time it takes to complete.
Success-based fees are only paid if a successful outcome is achieved, such as a real estate agent earning a commission upon closing a deal.
The fairness of billing methods can be subjective, but it is important to consider the risk, expertise, and experience involved.
Becoming an expert in a specific field and being unconsciously competent can lead to higher rates and success in the industry.
