Re: How do you organize your time between clients for maximum value?Own the tools necessary to learn your craft. The costs of ownership should be built into your fee. If the client needs a system or specific items and you wish to supply them, you should charge appropriately for them.In the end, clients are paying you because you provided a result they are happy with. Question yourself and determine how much of that result is based solely on the equipment choices and how much is the result of your training, experience and creativity. That amount is what your efforts are worth, the rest is equipment. If the equipment can come from anywhere, and you're not making a ROI from it, let someone else own the gear.
