Called a guy to remove a tree from my yard He charged $750 Asked how many he does per week “Oh God, are you one of those morons who post about how easy it is to make six figures in the trades by assuming I’m fully booked and have zero costs? You know what, I’m actually going to charge you $1,750 for this job or I'll just let the tree fall into your roof.” Incredible. $1,750 for just a few minutes of work. Imagine if he does just 10 other jobs aweek. That’s $70k+ per month. Almost amillion a year. I need to get into tree trimming!

Its not that the job is worth 450 dollars, its that his time is. If he's at your place fixing something easy, he's not somewhere else making that money he could make. The whole process of getting there and fixing it could take a couple hours.
