Professionals should not work for free. Ever.
I just finished a moderately difficult personal and sensitive legal project for an MD friend about my vintage (who does well for himself) that I could not comfortably delegate to anyone. I was assured it would take roughy an hour of my time but no more.
I finished it last night. Better than expected outcome. It took over 5 hours and the work was of course done at a level I would have done for GE, Alcoa or Balfour Beatty. Just got a note from this gentlemen that said in part "If I can ever return the favor, let me know!"
Yes, you can, Skippy.
How about payment for just one billable hour at our rate for small business, non-profits and other street people? WTF.
