=Fast, Good, Cheap = = = You should only be able to choose 2 of these 3 words and you must keep this in mind when pricing your next job otherwise your work / income / career could be suffering.Fast, Good or Cheap – Choose TwoIf you allow your clients to have fast, good, cheap work done by yourself then most likely you are working your butt off for very little return which is why you must allow them to choose a combination of two only – either **good & fast ** OR **good & cheap ** OR **fast & cheap **.Below are some explanations of why and when to use each type of pricing method along with their advantages and disadvantages.**Good + Fast = Expensive **If you want good, fast work then of course we can put up our prices. We must put up our prices here because we have to postpone every other job we have, cancel appointments/meetings and stay up 24+ hours to get their job done.The **advantag **e here is that we get quick money however the **disadvantage ** is that we could possibly let other clients down by not delivering their work on time. We get more stressed and if it is a major project, our sleeping pattern gets disrupted.

We get more stressed and if it is a major project, our sleeping pattern gets disrupted.

If you want a good, cheap piece of work then they will have to be patient to get it as they are getting a discounted price… We have other projects to work on from higher paying clients so they get more priority.The **advantage ** here is that we do not have to stress about tight deadlines and we can work on the project in our own time with less stress. The **disadvantage ** however is that we get less pay even though we worked on the project over a period of time.


 * Fast + Cheap = Inferior **

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 130%;">If you wish to have a fast and cheap job, then they should expect the result to be quite inferior. We do not have the time to make the job as good as it could be plus on top of that, we hardly get any return on the product.The only **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">advantage ** here is that we get some quick money in a short amount of time. The **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">disadvantag **e is that the end result will probably be something we will want to keep hidden away under lock and key.In this case, clients truly get what they pay for and this is the least favorable choice of the three. Try to stay away from fast, cheap labor.
