In this video, I will be discussing a survival figure, overhead costs, billable and unbillable hours, the pros and cons of fixed pricing versus an hourly rate.
How to determine your hourly rate and correct it.
This information has been gathered from my past history and some of the information can also be found here at the Landscape Juice.

Great video Robbie.
