Read carefully and remember.
We do three types of Jobs here:
1) Cheap
2) Quick
3) Good
You can have any two, so:
a) A good quick job (won’t be cheap)
b) A cheap good job (won’t be quick)
c) A quick job cheap (won’t be good)
In other words
Cheap + fast = lower quality work
Fast + good = expensive
Good + cheap = not happening anytime soon
There is always a trade off and you should decide what your priorities are.
At the end of the day, at the end of the week, at the end of my life, I want to say that I contributed more than I criticized.
