It may be surprising to you that my customers actually don't care how many hours I want to work, but only about the value I deliver to them. I don't get to wave a magic wand and work 10 hours a week and keep all my customers, though I'm sure my competitors would wish I tried. I think the argument here is that "value delivered to customers" and "amount of work required to deliver that value" are completely unrelated to one-another. To give two examples: 1. The biggest possible improvement you can generally bestow upon a small services business is a website (not even a fancy one, just a five-page Wordpress shindig with acceptable SEO.) This takes approximately two hours and $50 (I'm being generous.) 2. Video games are one of the most difficult software products to produce in terms of sheer SLOC, expertise required, and resources needed, and yet the value most customers assign to them ranges between $0 and $60.
