Okay, Fine. Hourly Can Work.
On today’s show: I finally give in to the idea that charging your clients hourly can actually work in some business models.
It’s still not my favorite—since you get punished for being more efficient.
But our return guest Josh, gives us an update on his business, throws some new challenges at us, and—yes—convinces me that sometimes charging hourly just makes the most sense.
See what I mean on today’s episode of Freelance to Founder. Here we go.

Customer Reviews
Approchable
I’ve been listening to this show for a couple of years and it’s been key to improving my business. The hosts are excellent. Both Preston and Clay are experienced, reasonable, and inquisitive. It generates colorful conversations across several industries. I’m better and my business is better because of this show.
Drives me insane
I would listen to this show a lot more if the show info appeared at the top of the page when I clicked on it in my Apple Podcasts. Unfortunately, the most recent show is always at the bottom! This is the only podcast that does it that way and I’m not a fan of scrolling!
A new favorite for freelancers!
The secret is officially out: Freelancing is your way to build skills, run your own business, and give yourself the flexibility you deserve! Clay and Preston absolutely being the heat on this podcast!! Providing listeners with nuggets of information, tips, and insider advice on how to dive head-first into the world of freelancing!
