Actually the fruit of labor is time, time is the amount of energy put into a thing or service. A value is placed per hour when a conversion takes place, because you choose to get paid with foreign bank money is why you are taxed. You have the power to choose in which form you shall be paid, with foreign currency or with lawful money in the form of species currency. United States Code Title 12 Section 411, also see Section 415

I'm a little hesitant to try this; I don't want to find out that I really do work for peanuts . . . Looks like a good practice though. Reminds me of "Your Money Or Your Life" though, maybe you could write a sequel, "Your Bananas Or Your Life." Terry Heath´s last blog post...Win-Win Thinking For Multi-Talented Fairies and Mortals

This is an awesome idea! That middle step *does* tend to sap my energy a lot. Catherine Cantieri, Sorted´s last blog post...The Sorted Seven - No. 4: Contact Management

I spent several months trying to win freelance projects on Elance. I started using the advice in this blog: http://freelancemoney.wordpress.com/ and have been working consistently ever since. Can be â€œsalesyâ€ at times, but the information is invaluable. Read it!

Superb fruity post!! I used to think about purchases in terms of books. Back when I was selling my physical book The Internet Recruiting Edge at $149/copy, I’d consider each book would bring me $100 or so. Thus, if I wanted a bronze dragon statue, that would be 49 books. If I wanted instead a massage chair, that would only be 30 books. etc.etc.etc.

Made buying things a lot more fun, I’ll tell you that!

What a fun post! It occurs to me this is why I'm so excited about having my first big veggie garden this year - work equals reward, no middle step involved except time, watering and weeding. 'Course, there's money up front to have it dug in our nice, boulder-strewn New Hampshire soil. And the Moo Doo. And the fencing to keep the critters out . . . and the plants and seeds . . .

Taylor - awesome post. I have to admit, when I started reading it, I was a little skeptical about the fruit analogy, but by the end of the post I was laughing out loud and craving bananas. On a serious note, great advice. As a freelancer it can be easy to lose sight of the end goal. I'd say that it's especially true if you also hold down a day job. If freelancing is your bread and butter, then you kind of need it to... well, buy bread and butter. But, if you moonlight as a freelancer, the sense of urgency may not be the same. Tallying up the reward for your work can definitely be a good step in that direction. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to the store to buy a whiteboard and some bananas...

See that kid’s face? That’s me with a new idea. Mmhm.

@ Geek – My Nikes ring up to just shy of $200, so I figure if I wasn’t picky about what I stick on my feet to sneak, I could get a few pair out of a two-fer.

@ Janice – Kiss and tell? That would be indiscreet of us.

(Okay, no, that wasn’t us. But it could’ve been!)

@ Marc – Um… actually I don’t. I’m a big broccoli fan, though. Lotsa broccoli.

@ Mark – When I started to read the post, I thought, “What the f-… Hey. Hang on, this is a good idea.” ‘Nuff said, eh?

@ Tei – You should be proud. I put that picture in all by myself, I did!

@ Amy – I like that line of thinking. Very nice, and yes!

@ Mark – LOL, you noticed! Rock on with tomatoes, man. They’re awesome. (Better than bananas.)

@ Henry – It’s very good for you and your banana goals, then, that we write posts about how to create more bananas. Mmhm.

@ Melinda – I think she’s a keeper, eh?

I can probably squeeze 3-4 pairs of shoes out of $200, but then again, I’m a fan of shoes that are more functional for things like… oh, walking.

Great post, Tei
